The lovely Olive returns, this time with a Korg DW8000 and Yamaha MOTIF. From Charles Whiley on Facebook.
I have been fascinated for a little while with DW8000. I encountered it back in the 1980s, but it was overshadowed for me by offerings from Yamaha, Roland, and Ensoniq. It came back to my attention a few years ago, and I started looking for an EX8000 (the rack version) – ultimately, I settled on its new successor, the Korg modwave.

Bucky poses handsomely next to an impressive modular system. We see many familiar modules, including Mr. Grassi, the Rossum Panharmonium, Erica Synths, Mordax DATA, and more. Bucky is certainly going to have some fun exploring these modules.

Are we doing cats and synths, is that a thing here? Let’s go!
Meet Buckminster aka “Bucky”!
He also has a sister who I’ll introduce soon.

“Cats and synths” will always be a thing for us on every social-media platform, and we look forward to meeting Bucky’s feline sister.

Barney is back, and he is struggling with his new experimental empty-mixer track. From @bigbadchang on Twitter.
Barney could really use your help. His empty mixer album just isn’t coming together. Also he hasn’t been fed in three minutes. Art truly is suffering.
We hope this feature on CatSynth serves as some consolation.
It’s Groundhog Day, so we’re featuring the venerable Herman, the stuffed-toy groundhog I have had since childhood, atop our Yamaha RX5 drum machine. Definitely a vintage vibe on both counts.
If you haven’t yet seen or detailed demo and tutorial on the Yamaha RX5, please check it out.
Error Instruments have rereleased their Game Cat noise synthesizer.
I might just have to get one of these.
A moody photo of a cat looking out the window while their human plays an Arturia MiniBrute. I instantly recognized the instrument as we have one at HQ.

Duarte is a composer based in Argentina who described his music as “Post-classical, neoclassical, ambient”. You can hear some of his music on his bandcamp page. Here is his latest release.

The drum pads on the SK-5 are instrument, and different from the SK-1 and SK-10 that we have here at CatSynth HQ.
We have a new picture of Persephone in the studio with her human Rob Robinson, as they get ready to record some new material.
Working on new Order of the Static Temple. The junior studio tech’s input… ‘make it noisier!’ As you wish, mewskers…
This is almost the same as this previous photo featuring Persephone and includes many of the same instruments.
The lovely Mae returns and shows off an Akai MPC Live II with a custom skin that definitely makes it pop against her dark fur. Can’t wait to hear what rhythms she makes with it.
