Synthesizers

Gracie and Ensoniq SQ-80

Gray and white cat looking at a keyboard synthesizer "SQ80" on a gray carpet.

The indomitable Gracie is back, this time with an Ensoniq SQ-80 waveform hybrid synthesizer. She is clearly taking her quality-control inspection duties seriously! From our friends at Synthetic Dreamscapes.

The SQ-80 allowed one to mix up to three waveforms at once (e.g., a transient and a long time), along with an analog four-pole VCF and a VCA. It was a successor to the popular ESQ-1, and paved the way for modern wavetable synths.

Arturia created the SQ-80 V virtual version of this classic, which we reviewed here at CatSynth.

Oto, Dreadbox Nymphes, Oxi, Chase Bliss, Death By Audio, Endorphin.es

Oto seems to be quite enjoying this little jam featuring the Dreadbox Nymphes, controlled by the Oxi sequencer and processed via the Endorphin.es Gost, Chase Bliss Mood, and Death by Audio Rooms.

Ed, NLC Modules, Euclidean Circles, Make Noise

Edward (Ed) finds a cosy spot next to a large Eurorack modular system. We see a Euclidean Circles modules from vpme, several DIY-built modules from Nonlinear Circuits with the colorful knobs, a Make Noise Maths, and a Volts Platz from Frequency Central.
