Our friend Hector Génis is back with a new synth jam, this time on the Yamaha DX7. We also see a Yamaha CS30 synthesizer and the Strymon Timeline delay pedal. Watch as Saruman pops up later in the video. He is really enjoying the music, as am I. It has a sort of Italo-disco feel.

Mr. Puff and Yamaha PSS-470
Mr. Puff demonstrates unequivocally who owns this Yamaha PSS-470. From our friend Charles Whiley via Facebook.
The PSS-470 is interesting in that it incorporates Yamaha’s FM engine – with a few real-time parameters – into the case and design of a home keyboard. Of course, it also includes the typical features like a drum/rhythm engine with the obligatory “Bossa Nova” beat among others.

Rags, Roland TR-8, Korg Volca Keys and Analog Bass
Rags poses between a Roland TR-8 drum machine on the right and Korg Volca Keys and Analog bass on the left, and looks straight up into the camera. Submitted by @paulSDMCR (aka “sleepless”) on Twitter/X.
It’s been a while since Rags last appeared here on CatSynth. Last time she was singing her heart out to a Roland SH-101 and Xox Bassline.

CatSynth Pic: Shiro, Yamaha SK50D, Strymon TimeLine
Shiro stands atop a Yamaha SDK50D and next to a Strymon TimeLine delay pedal — both fine instruments. And while Shrio may be feigning disinterest, we know he is proud of them and of his cat-dad Héctor Genis.

Strings on the Yamaha SK50D
Our friend Héctor Genis trying out some strings on the vintage Yamaha SK50D, while one of his “cats” watches patiently. Too patiently. It took me a moment to realize that wasn’t actually Shiro, Saruman, or Parches.
