Pipo and Jojo and Yamaha SK10

We came across this older photo of cats Pipo and Jojo with a Yamaha SK10 vintage string synthesizer on Wikimedia Commons. Pipo is playing and Jojo is listening.

Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Black and white cat standing behind a vintage analog synth (Chroma Polaris)

A beautiful cat stands behind the beautiful and underappreciated synthesizer, the Chroma Polaris.

From this Reverb listening, as seen on matrixsynth.

I have a soft spot for the Polaris, as it was the first synth I owned (on sale at Sam Ash in New York at a time when the DX7 was taking over). At the time, I didn’t fully appreciate how analog synthesis worked the way I do now – it would be great to play one again (and do a demo for CatSynth TV).

The cat reminds me a bit of our friend Gracie.
