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.
