Hookah the Cat, Roland, Korg

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:

You can also see Hookah’s previous appearances on CatSynth via this link.

Sunbub (Rhodes stage piano and Roland Amp)

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 and Roland SP404 Mk2

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

Sekhmet, Erica Synths SYNTRX, Roland Jupiter-X, Arturia Keystep

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.

Manny and Electronic Drum Kit

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.

Cat with Elektron, Roland, FMR Audio

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.

Sascha at Band Practice (Roland, E-MU, Modular)

Our pal Sascha is back; it looks like he snuck in during band practice at Space Kitty Studios. We see the familiar Roland TR-909 and TR-8s, the colorful E-MU Proteus modules, and a bit of modular in the upper left corner. From Neil Parker of Space Kitty Studios via Facebook.
