Synthesizers
Nina Ros and Boss PC-2 (Percussion Synthesizer)

A bit about the Boss PC-2 from Vintage Synth Explorer:
The PC-2 is a very simplistic analog synthesizer featuring six controls to help shape various synth drum, percussion and effect sounds. It uses a single VCO with a triangle waveform and a knob to adjust its pitch. The sound is more often of the UFO bleep and bloop variety, although with a bit of help from the OEM manual, you can find the settings to make big bass drum sounds, castanets, tom toms, wood blocks and more. The Sweep knob can give the sound an ascending or descending pitch bend effect. The VCA envelope is limited to a simple Decay control (attack is a fixed hard transient). A simple LFO, switchable between Triangle or Square waveforms, with Depth and Rate controls can be used to modulate the VCO for subtle vibrato to crazy wobbly sounds.
Haku with PWM Mantis, Yamaha CS15, Akai MPC60ii
Haku has found a nice napping spot above the PWM Mantis synthesizer. Below them, we see a Yamaha CS15, an Akai MPC60ii, and a couple of others.

Rubia, Rhodes Mark I Piano, Sequential Six-Trak
Rubia plays a tune for us on her vintage Rhodes Mark I electric piano (I’m a bit envious!); a Sequential Six-Trak sits nearby.

Rags, Harpo and Stylophone Theremin
This is so adorable! And I really need to get hold of one of those Stylophone theremins 😺
Cammi Granato (plus Eddie Lack) with Synths, Pedals, and More
Cammi Granato sits comfortably next to a live board featuring Red Panda Context, Particles and Bitmap pedals, Make Noise 0-coast and Strega standalone synthesizers, and an AKAI MPX-8. Above is a Roland SE-02 synth, monitors, and “an electro-acoustic thing made by Flesh Vomit.”
Canine Eddie Lack chills nearby as well, providing us with a rare DogSynth pic.
From our friends Scott and Deb via Mastadon. They are a big part of the group that made the recent Wonder Valley Experimental Music Festival happen. You can see our highlight reel of all the acts from the festival in the video below.
Tuna and Novation Bass Station
Tuna is back after a hiatus from CatSynth. And he is now sporting a cool blue and white collar that matches the Novation Bass Station on which he is napping.

Hello @catsynth this is Tuna. It’s been a long time since he was last featured here with a synth. As you can see, he now has a blue and white collar. There are houses very near us that are being built so we need Tuna to wear a collar for ID.
And, appropriately, he’s napping on top of a @wearenovation Bass Station 2 which matches his colors.
Tony and Frankie return with Cat Metal
Tony and Frankie are back on CatSynth for the first time in quite a while, and they are ready to perform their new “cat metal” tune, complete with appropriate scowling expressions.
