Kitty and Suzy with Roland JP-8000 and Ensoniq ESQ-1

Kittens Kitty and Suzy play atop an Ensoniq ESQ-1, which has been (wisely) covered. Kitty is the one facing us on top, and Suzy is the one on the bottom with her back to us. Above them we see a Roland JP-8000 synthesizer.

This is the same ESQ-1 we saw a little while ago with Jerry posing. Sadly, Jerry passed away earlier this year. And just today, Jerry’s buddy Tom passed away as well. We at CatSynth extend our condolences to his family. But it is also nice to see these beautiful kittens welcomed into their home and carrying on Jerry’s legacy.

Ansel and rack-mount synths

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:

  • Novation Supernova Rack
  • E-MU Audity 2000
  • Casio VZ-10M
  • Yamaha TX-802
  • Yamaha TG77
  • Roland SC-880
  • Oberheim Matrix 1000 (x2)

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 😺

Rags, Roland TR-8, Korg Volca Keys and Analog Bass

Black cat sitting between various pieces of synthesizer equipment, including to Korg Volcas on the left and a Roland TR-8 on the right.  She is staring straight upwards at the camera.

Rags poses between a Roland TR-8 drum machine on the right and Korg Volca Keys and Analog bass on the left, and looks straight up into the camera. Submitted by @paulSDMCR (aka “sleepless”) on Twitter/X.

It’s been a while since Rags last appeared here on CatSynth. Last time she was singing her heart out to a Roland SH-101 and Xox Bassline.

Rimuru, ASM Hydrasynth, Korg Minilogue XD, Prophet 08

Tabby cat with tiger stripes sitting on a synthesizer.  Above him are an ASM Hydrasynth, Korg Minilogue XD, Prophet 08, and more.

Rimuru has grown quite a bit since he last appeared on CatSynth as a tiny kitten. Here he is as a handsome fellow posing confidently with the same ASM Hydrasynth and Prophet 08, now joined by a Korg Minilogue XD. I also think that’s the same Roland Fantom that he posed on last time. We also see a cool-looking Eurorack system to the left, but we’ll leave identification of the modules as an exercise to the reader.

Mr. Puff: Oberheim Matrix 10, Novation Supernova ASM

Mr. Puff sits comfortably on top of a console next to two Oberheim 1000 synthesizers, a Roland rackmount line mixer, and a Novation Supernova ASM synthesizer.

Mr. Puff is one of the many cats living with our friend Charles Whiley in Arkansas. He does have some physical challenges, but as we can see, he is living his best “synth cat” life 😻

Saruman, Yamaha SK50D, Strymon Timeline and Roland TR-707

Our friend Saruman listens to a new jam by Héctor Genis on the Yamaha SK50D and Roland TR-707, with the Strymon Timeline pedal melding it all together.

It’s quite remarkable how still Saruman is. He is clearly relaxed and in a comfy place sitting and listening to the music.
