Hermine lounges on a white MIDI controller keyboard (brand left as an exercise to the reader). She seems to really like the pitch-bend and mod wheels, as she is resting her head on them.
It’s been quite a while since Stevesteve last appeared on CatSynth, but we’re happy to welcome him back, along with his pal Bruce. We see in the upper left corner a Behringer Model D and CAT. To the left of those under a cover is a Moog Subsequent 37.
Beautiful Lilly sits atop a Yamaha DX21 synthesizer. Behind her, we espy a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator. (The reel-to-reel tape recorder is nice as well.)
The DX21 was a 4-operator FM synth in Yamaha’s DX line. Not quite as powerful as the 6-operator instruments like the DX7, or the later 4-operator synths like the TX81Z, but nonetheless fully capable of complex FM synthesis. It also featured multiple layers and keyboard splits, which separated it from the other 4-operator instruments at the time like the DX27 and DX100. (Yes, there were a lot of DXs in the 1980s.)
Orion returns, and handsome as ever! His collection of Serge Panels seems to be growing 😺. We do see the Sequential P6 off to the left. Behind him, we see some classic audio gear including Culture Vulture, Joe Meek, and a Retro Revolver compressor.

Doctor Zoom is back, and once again showing off his impressive collection of desktop instruments, including (from left to right): Erica Synths DB-01 Bass Line, Roland MC-101, Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal, Behringer Neutron (custom panel) and Crave, Arturia Keystop Pro and MiniFreak. That last one above the MiniFreak is left as an exercise for the reader. He seems particularly proud as he perches above them.
