Today we feature our very own Sam Sam posing in her favorite corner of the studio. To the right we see a bit of the E-MU Proteus 2000 (Vintage Pro) and Morpheus, our trusty red Nord Stage, a Kenton Pro Solo MIDI to CV converter, and a Digital Music Corp MX-8 Midi Patch Bay. Some audio gear as well, including our mixer, audio patch bays, and the “Really Nice Compressor” from FMR.
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.
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.

A remix featuring our old friends Tony and Frankie, this time with a funky beat and guitars.
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.

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 proudly shows off his Moog Matriarch synthesizer.

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.
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.
