Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Black and white cat standing behind a vintage analog synth (Chroma Polaris)

A beautiful cat stands behind the beautiful and underappreciated synthesizer, the Chroma Polaris.

From this Reverb listening, as seen on matrixsynth.

I have a soft spot for the Polaris, as it was the first synth I owned (on sale at Sam Ash in New York at a time when the DX7 was taking over). At the time, I didn’t fully appreciate how analog synthesis worked the way I do now – it would be great to play one again (and do a demo for CatSynth TV).

The cat reminds me a bit of our friend Gracie.

Kitty and Suzy with Roland JP-8000 and Ensoniq ESQ-1

Kittens Kitty and Suzy play atop an Ensoniq ESQ-1, which has been (wisely) covered. Kitty is the one facing us on top, and Suzy is the one on the bottom with her back to us. Above them we see a Roland JP-8000 synthesizer.

This is the same ESQ-1 we saw a little while ago with Jerry posing. Sadly, Jerry passed away earlier this year. And just today, Jerry’s buddy Tom passed away as well. We at CatSynth extend our condolences to his family. But it is also nice to see these beautiful kittens welcomed into their home and carrying on Jerry’s legacy.
