We just saw Saruman with his Yamaha SK50D, CS30, and DX7. Now we can here them being played. While Héctor Genis plays a classic synth-pop jam with lush cords, Saruman bounces around and supervises, as a cat does.
Cats
Fran Halen with Make Noise, Moog, and other modular
Fran Halen is all snuggled and warm on a chilly day. We bet those analog modules from Moog, Make Noise, and others will help keep her warm, too.

Remix with Tony&Frankie, Arturia Beatstep, and funky beats
A remix featuring our old friends Tony and Frankie, this time with a funky beat and guitars.
Cat and a Cat on a Cat
Mistie and Yamaha DX7
Mistie poses proudly atop a vintage Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. From Rob Puricelli (Pro Synth Network) via Facebook.
I think I also espy a Yamaha QX3 sequencer just to the left of Mistie.
These 1980s DX-era instruments loom large in my personal synth history, often as aspirational. We do have a couple of TX modules still in use along with our RX5 drum machine here at CatSynth HQ.
Critter and Critter & Guitari

Ringo with Roland, Korg, Zoom, Waldorf
Ringo joins us from Brooklyn and shares with us a brief jam on a Roland SP-404SX, Korg TR 61 workstation, Zoom G3 effects box, and Waldorf Blofeld. From our friend Damien Olsen.
You can see a bit of a show that both Damien and I played in Brooklyn back in 2019
Bowzer and Moog Matriarch

I should break the ice with a picture of my cat lounging on a synth…
This seems like a reasonable idea to us at CatSynth.
Saruman with Yamaha SK50D, CS30, and DX7
Our friend Saruman is back, and he is showing off his vintage Yamaha gear. We see a Yamaha SK50D to the left, a CS30 to the upper right, and a DX7 at the bottom. Three different types of instruments from three different periods of Yamaha’s keyboard and synth history.

Bastet calmly kneads some soft blankets to this lo-fi electronic track created in Bitwig Studio (using stock devices with some modifications)
