In this Instagram photo, Chocolate Puma is seen using Logic Pro X to do "Last minute mixing & editing for tonight's gig @ slake nyc ????".

On the bottom of this Instagram photo, the label of the JX-8P is visible in the lower-left, and its buttons can be seen along the bottom of the shot.

In a photo from Chocolate Puma's Facebook dated to 2003, one can see the MS-20 resting on top of a rack towards the left of the shot. It is directly beneath the left-most light.

MusicRadar's exploration of Chocolate Puma's studio mentions "a simple SPL MTC-2381 on the desk for controlling their levels and headphone sends". It can also be seen in the included photo of their studio, towards the bottom-right, below the Oxygen8 MIDI controller.
