Tina and Tama Techstar TAM500
Tina blissfully sleeps in front of a rare Tama Techstar TAM500 drum machine. Submitted by AxWax via Mastodon.
The TAM500 is a relatively uncommon and lesser-known analog drum machine from the 1980s. It has 5 sounds, each with its own mixer channel and output. You can hear a bit of it in this video.
We at CatSynth have a soft spot for lesser-known drum machines of the era (i.e., outside the ubiquitous Roland TR series). This includes our Yamaha RX5, which I favor for musical projects over the more common options. A TAM500 would be something very different, but also fun to try.

Fang and ARP Axxe
Fang sits proudly atop a vintage ARP Axxe synthesizer. Submitted by Pete Jay via our Facebook page.
The ARP Axxe was a slimmed-down version of the classic Odyssey with a single oscillator. Note that it shares the same Helvetica and black-and-orange look as the Odyssey and other later ARP instruments (my favorite of their design themes).

Lint with Geddy Lee Minimoogs
Lint has not one, but two, of the red special-edition Geddy Lee Minimoog Model Ds!
We at CatSynth are a little envious, though we do love our old vintage Minimoog, too.

Bunny and Modcan Modular
Bunny found a cozy nook inside this large Modcan modular system.
From Davor Gazde (@1000cables on Instagram).
I’m still lamenting the fact that I sold my Modcan and found this great photo. My cat Bunny preferred it too – apparently, it made a pretty comfortable house.

Kitty and Minimoog
Kitty poses beautifully atop a Minimoog synthesizer. We also see a Moogerfooger, a Moog CP-251 voltage-control processor, and a Roland D-50 behind Kitty’s tail.
Submitted by Greg Marchesini via our Facebook page. Greg runs the Facebook group Moog Addicts – as big Moog fans (and owners of several Moog instruments ourselves), I suspect we will be visiting there often.
And while we’re on the topic, we’ll be sharing our interview with Michelle Moog-Koussa of the Bob Moog Foundation tomorrow on CatSynth TV. There will be a live premiere at 10AM US Pacific Time (1PM Eastern US, 7PM CET, etc.) where you can join both Michelle and me in the live chat.

Tico with Roland, Nord, Korg, Quasimidi
Tico walks among an impressive array of vintage synthesizers, including several Roland models -Juno 106, JP-8000, and a blue SH-101 – a Quasimidi “The Raven”, a Korg MS-20, and a Nord keyboard.
From Ribeiro Paulo via Facebook.
In 2019, I had my encourager, Tico, who helped me take everything out of the boxes and reassemble it. Until now, the spirit of courage and resilience has remained focused; he’s a true friend in my mission 😃 😼😂🤙🙄🇵🇹❤️⏰❗
