The Prophet 6 and the OB6 are analog poly synths that I have long coveted (after playing them elsewhere), but still do not have here at HQ. Someday, perhaps.
Big Merp assists in the studio
Big Merp helps out in the studio as we work on one of our recent synth-review videos. Specifically, it was Part 2 of our Cherry Audio Crumar Spirit review and tutorial.
Behind Merp we see our trusty Nord Stage keyboard, our Pro Tools system, and various bits of studio gear including the Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments, Novation Launch Control, and some preamps and compressors.
Mochi and piano
Mochi poses adorably on an upright piano and plays an E flat for us. The sheet music appears to be in C major, so an E flat is a rather bold choice.

Ron and Virginal
Ron naps comfortably atop a virginal, a small, rectangular type of harpsichord. Submitted by Ann Ramsey (@annxramsey on Threads).
Virginals use the same plucking mechanism for the springs as standard harpsichords, but usually only have one string per key, and lay them out transversely in a rectangular case like we see with Ron’s keyboard above.
Ollie and Yamaha Digital Piano
Ollie loves to nap on the Yamaha digital piano and soak up the morning sun.
