Our friend Saruman from Mexico City has a nice stack of keyboards today: a Roland JX-8P (with a TR-707 drum machine on top), a Yamaha YC-20 combo organ below with its beautiful red finish; Saruman seems particularly interested in the small keyboard in the middle, which I’m thinking is actually two Casio SK-1s…

This cat has found a nice warm nook behind the Behringer DeepMind 12 synthesizer. Above (and mostly out of view) are a Sequential Prophet 8 and Roland TR8S.

Sascha has reclaimed his rightful place on the desk at Space Kitty Studio. We see the usual array of gear in the background, including sundry instruments from Roland and E-MU Systems, as well as modular.

Hookah the cat is back! This time he has a Korg Microsampler, Roland JD-8000, and Roland PianoPlus 70.
You can hear some of Hookah’s music here:

Goonbug (aka “Goombub”) has found a nice patch of sun on this Roland amp. We see a keyboard in the back that appears to be a Rhodes stage piano. It is clearer in this photo.
While not technically a synth, the Rhodes electric pianos are among my favorite instruments and definitely an important part of any keyboard studio.

Giuliano is back! And he is showing off his Roland SP404 Mk2 while getting scritches. It’s good to be the cat.

Sekhmet poses proudly with an Erica Synths SYNTRX, Roland Jupiter-X, Arturia Keystep, and more. Submitted by Robert Saint John via our Twitter account.
We at CatSynth are particularly envious of Sekhmet’s SYNTRX, a reimagining of the infamous EMS Synthi AKS, and hope to try one out someday.
Our friend Manny is back and he’s ready to make some noise with these electronic drums. Submitted by Jesse Hunt via our Facebook page.
We see Roland V-Drums, but also guessing that those hexagonal pads might be Simmons.
A beautiful cat with their paws on Elektron Oktatrack (original edition), a Roland JV module (I’m pretty sure it’s the JV-1080), and an FMR Audio 1773 “Really Nice Compressor”. From discotheque_sauvage via Instagram.
We have one of those “really nice compressors” here in the studio at CatSynth HQ. It does live up to its name and is quite handy for live work as well as mixdowns.
