We have long been interested in the OP-1, although we won’t have one ourselves. Maybe it would make a great instrument for Sam Sam 😸

CatSynth Pic: Wooden cat and Juno 106
Our wooden feline friend is back, this time on a vintage Roland Juno 106 synthesizer. Submitted by thedigitalpurrgatory (Anton Largoza-Maza) via Instagram. You can see a previous appearance here.
This is the second appearance of the Juno series in less than a week. Last Thursday we featured the Juno 60. The Juno 106 has a full MIDI implementation, including SysEx based editing and control, as opposed to the 60 which has no MIDI at all. Sound-wise they are quite similar, although many say that the 60 has a “warmer sound.” We at CatSynth cannot verify this.

Our black-and-white feline friend returns in this black-and-white photo featuring the Arturia MiniBrute, first edition. Submitted by Steve Peglar via our Facebook page.
We at CatSynth have been having a lot of fun with the Arturia MiniBrute 2, which builds on the original’s unique sound (and “brute factor”). You can see our video demo here.

I had a lot of fun in California. Special thanks to kitty for making it so I can finally do this cat synth thing. ❤️#catsynth#catsonsynths#catsingeneral#eurorack
We, of course, think California is a fine place for cats and synths.

The Roland D-70 is not as common as the iconic D-50. You can read more about it on Vintage Synth Museum . Interestingly, it appears to have at least as much in common with the U series as the D series, and never achieved a similar popularity to the D-50.

We could use one of these cat keyboard toys here, for a future project.
