Dahlia with Roland JP-8080 and other synths

Dahlia strikes another beautiful pose, this time next to the Roland JP-8080. In the background, we also see a Korg MiniKorg 700, an Ensoniq ESQ-1, and a red Roland SH-101. We at CatSynth particularly covet a couple in this collection.

Chichiro and XAOC Devices modular

Chichiro peers inside a case with modules from XAOC Devices.

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.
This expression speaks volumes 😸

Dahlia, Roland MC-202 and JP-8080

The beautiful Dahlia returns, and she has brought some great vintage Roland machines: the MC-202 rhythm composer and the JP-8080 virtual analog module.

MC-2oh2 and Grand Duchess Dahlia Darling of Meowington Manor (Dahlia for short)…I interrupted a meowing and rubbing tirade to snap this pic. She went back to meowing and rubbing immediately after. She’s the best puss.

Cats seem to just go together with the Stylophone Theremin. Here we see Clarita with one, from @datachild on Instagram via Stylophone’s official account.
We definitely need to get one of these here at CatSynth HQ!
