Korg Wavestate (Box)
It looks like someone has already claimed the box for this brand new Korg Wavestate. Submitted by Matthew Pirata Kane via our Facebook page.
Just got a korg wavestate, and my cat already claimed it
The Korg Wavestate is a great little synthesizer, a reimagination of the Wavestation from the 1990s. You can see our NAMM 2020 report on the Wavestate below.

Max and Synapse Audio Dune 3
Max is testing out the new Dune 3 synthesizer from Synapse Audio. It appears he is using the Arturia keyboard to create some bass tones for the highly-touted wavetable oscillators in Dune.

Rothko thinks my snare sounds like crap
We at CatSynth will reserve judgment on the snare sound 😸

Elgie, Crumar Orchestrator and Sequential Six-Trak
The adorable Elgie returns, this time with a Crumar Orchestrator and Sequential Six-Trak. Submitted by Eston Lathrop via our Facebook page.
The Crumar Orchestrator was released in 1977 and provides an orchestra-in-a-box with Brass, Piano, Clavichord, Cello, and Violin sounds, as well as a Bass sound. They can be combined and each has its own level control. It is particularly good for the Brass and String sounds which are reminiscent of the ARP Solina (we at CatSynth have used the Arturia Solina V on a few recordings).
The Sequential Six-Trak was released in 1984. As a synthesizer, it was a smaller cousin to the Prophet series, but it did include many of the Prophets’ features like cross-modulation. There was also an onboard sequencer six-track sequencer (hence the name) and full MIDI support, including controllers for the various parameters.

White Cat Affection and Keyboard
Beautiful black-and-white photo of a white cat giving affection to a sibling next to a white keyboard. An exercise is both contrast and sweetness.

The Kiffness X Numnum Cat
This was fun. The Kiffness (aka David Scott) performs trumpet and electronics along with a rhythmic cat. Via the Kiffness’ Facebook page.
David Scott, also known by his stagename as The Kiffness, is a South African musician, producer and parody artist who is the founder and lead singer for the band, The Kiffness. Despite the name of the band, Scott is referred to as The Kiffness alone.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_KiffnessIt looks like he features “collaborations” with cats quite often, so I suspect he will be back on CatSynth again soon.
