Millie in the Studio
Beautiful Millie is laying down some bass notes for a recording project (using Apple Logic Pro). A major second is a bold choice!
Submitted by Lamont Thornbranch via our Facebook page. Millie is a sibling to Suki whom we featured last Friday.

Sam Sam, Yamaha TX802 and TX81Z
We don’t get a lot of “CatSynth pics” of Sam Sam. But she does like this cozy little corner of the studio, especially after the recent reorganization of the studio. The rack next to her has our vintage Yamaha FM modules, the TX81Z and TX802 (with the latter turned on), along with a cassette deck that comes in handy every once in a while.
Gracie and Moog Little Phatty
Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes poses with a Moog Little Phatty, the first of Moog’s new analog synth line that began in the mid-2000s. As such, this might be the “youngest” instrument we’ve seen her pose with to date.

Cat and the Instruments of Bryan Day
It looks like this cat has come over to inspect the many unusual instruments of Bryan Day. So much to explore and stimulate. From Bryan Day on Facebook:
Got a little help from a four legged friend at tonight’s wall shaking session with Scott Arford in Oakland.
Sounds like a great session. For an introduction to the work of Bryan Day you can check out these videos on CatSynth TV!
Gracie and ARP Odyssey
Today Gracie shares with us an ARP Odyssey v1. The first version is distinguished by its darker design and stylized lettering – they took on a more minimalist design for subsequent versions.
As QA manager for Synthetic Dreamscapes, Gracie stands on everything they do.
