We start a new year of cats and synths with our very own Big Merp! He tried to help us with post-production on the Mercury-8 video from earlier this week. He certainly made it a challenge at times.
Because of, or despite, Merp’s efforts, the video came out quite well in terms of audio/visual quality as well as informativeness. You can check it out below.
Big Merp helps out in the studio as we work on one of our recent synth-review videos. Specifically, it was Part 2 of our Cherry Audio Crumar Spirit review and tutorial.
Behind Merp we see our trusty Nord Stage keyboard, our Pro Tools system, and various bits of studio gear including the Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments, Novation Launch Control, and some preamps and compressors.
Gibbous stands proudly atop a Novation UltraNova. Behind him, we see a large Eurorack modular system. We also see a Nord Modular and sundry pedals.

He is my ghost producer everyone, and he is amazing at what he does, always helping me with mixing music in the “Studio” and making sure im not making trash 🎶😺 cheers Ronnie 👍
Tuna is back after a hiatus from CatSynth. And he is now sporting a cool blue and white collar that matches the Novation Bass Station on which he is napping.

Hello @catsynth this is Tuna. It’s been a long time since he was last featured here with a synth. As you can see, he now has a blue and white collar. There are houses very near us that are being built so we need Tuna to wear a collar for ID.
And, appropriately, he’s napping on top of a @wearenovation Bass Station 2 which matches his colors.

It’s been a little while since we featured Sora on CatSynth, and she was starting to get a little jealous of Tuna with his recent appearances. So here is Sora sitting on a Novation Bass Station. We always love seeing her.

This cat is ready to serenade us with a tune on the Novation X-Station keyboard synth. We also see an Arturia MicroFreak “Stellar Hybrid” edition, and a Zoom MRS-8 recorder.

Ansel is showing off an absolutely insane (in the good sense of the word) tower of vintage rack-mount synthesizers. From top to bottom, we see:
Below the rack and just above Ansel we see a Sequentix Cirklon sequencer.
All in all, quite impressive – we at CatSynth are a bit envious 😺
