Olive with JL Cooper, Studio Electronics, JoMoX, Sequential, Roland, and More
Olive sits confidently in the command chair in front of an impressive array of tabletop modules. Next to her is a rugged JL Cooper fader fox (I had one of these on loan in the 1990s and wish I still had it). We also see a Studio Electronics BoomStar, and a Yamaha 1980s item below it; a JoMox Alpha Base, a Sequential Prophet ’08, sundry rhythm machines from Boss, and much more.

Drum KAT Cat
Meiko gets ready to lay down some rhythms on the Drum KAT. From our friend Charles Whiley.
You can see Meiko’s previous appearances here, and all of Charles’ contributions to CatSynth here.
The Drum KAT has long been a fixture in the world of MIDI percussion. I remember the rectangular pad with “Mickey Mouse ears”, as well as the KAT Mallet and the “MIDI Kiti” that converted external triggers to MIDI, something that would still be valuable today with the proliferation of CV, modular, and alternative sensors for making music.

CatSynth Pic: Mr. Maximillion in the Studio
We are back from NAMM and resuming regular scheduled CatSynth Pics. Today we have one of our good friends, Mr. Maximillion, in the studio with Charles Whiley. They have quite the synth collection, and always encountering new ones in their photos. And while it isn’t a synth, that mixing console is quite impressive.
If you haven’t yet done so, please check out our NAMM coverage on CatSynth TV!

CatSynth Pic: Meiko in the Studio
Our week of cats in the studio concludes with the return of Meiko. It looks like she is pretty intent on the knob positions and laptop controls, probably putting together a great mix with her human Charles Whiley.
