    The lovely Chihiro poses with a Novation AFX Station and plays it, too. From our friend Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram).

    Chihiro decided to join me in celebrating International Synthesizer Day by playing glissando with her face on the AFX Station. She also worked the pitch & mod wheels. 😹🎹

  • Big Merp helps with Mercury-8 Video

    Big Merp helps with Mercury-8 Video

    Brown-and-white cat standing on a studio desk with lots of audio equipment and two computer monitors.

    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 assists in the studio

    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.

  • Tuna and Novation Bass Station

    Tuna and Novation Bass Station

    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.

    Submitted by our friend thedigitalpurrgatory on Instagram

    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.

    Sora and Novation Bass Station

    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.
