Our friend Mr. Maximillion poses in front of a “wall of synths”, including classic offerings from Roland, Akai, and Ensoniq. Among them is an Ensoniq ASR-10; we still have one here at CatSynth HQ.

Kamal Sabran jams in the studio with his cat
It’s always fun to check in with our friend Kamal Sabran as he jams in his unique studio with his cats. We see a Behringer Neutron, a Roland SP-404SX, a vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Fever, an analog oscilloscope, and reel-to-reel. I’m definitely curious about what the reel-to-reel tape is contributing to the music in this jam.
Daisy-Mae, Jen SX-1000, Kawaii, Roland, Sequential
Kitten Daisy-Mae inspects this impressive stack of keyboard synths, including a rare Jen SX-1000. There is also a Kawaii K1, Roland System-8, and Sequential Prophet 12.

Persephone in the Studio
Persephone (aka “Mewskers”) is in the command chair of her very impressive studio. This studio is also used by our friend Rob Robinson and his industrial/noise/EBM project Order of the Static Temple (where we found this photo).
In front of Persephone is a Nord keyboard, to her left is a Sequential synthesizer, behind that a venerable Roland SH-101. We also see offerings from Behringer, Akai, Korg, and Ensoniq!
You can see more of Persephone via her tag.
Kamal Sabran and Cat in the Studio
We always love checking with Kamal Sabran and his cats – and we love cats in the studio. But sometimes things don’t go as planned. Watch to the end 😹

Dali, Hydrasynth, Sequential, Roland , Oberheim
Dali is the “critical ears of the studio”. And it’s a nice studio, featuring a Hydrasynth, Sequential Prophet X, Roland System-8, an Oberheim Matrix 1000, a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator, and more.

Pumpkin, Roland System 100, TR-808, Arp Odyssey, Korg MS-10
Pumpkin has an impressive set of vintage synthesizers, including the Roland System 100 modular, Roland TR-808 drum machine, ARP Odyssey, and Korg MS-10. From Lowfish on Twitter.
This is the setup for the track “c100” on the forthcoming Lowfish album “Grey With Breaks.” Pumpkin (my cat) gets ZERO credit for her contributions to this record. You can pre-order the limited edition “cloudy grey” LP version from Bleep here:
Please check out their new album. And we at CatSynth are here to recognize Pumpkin’s contributions.
Albert with Korg Electribe, Roland SH-101, Elektron Digitone, more
Albert has found a nice sunny spot in the studio. We see a Roland SH-101, Korg Eletribe, and Elektron Digitone next to him. It appears that he is sitting on a Roland TB-303 (or similar) with a dark panel, and another rhythm machine.

Shiro, Yamaha YC20, Roland TR707 and JX8P, more
Shiro Poses adorably atop the red Yamaha YC20 organ. We also see two Casio SK-1s, a Roland JX-8P, and a Roland TR-707 drum machine.

If Shiro’s collection of instruments looks familiar, you would be correct. It is the same set that Saruman posed on last week. Siblings Shiro and Saruman live in Mexico City with their human.
