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.
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.
I saw this adorable video today from Duch Modular Fest, a tutorial for a “purrsculator” sound.
The festival is happening on August 31 in Utrecht. More info can be found at www.dutchmodularfest.com
Our friends Saruman and Héctor Genis are back, and sharing a chord progression played on the vintage Yamaha SDK50D synthesizer with Strymon Timeline multi-dimensional delay effect.
Our friend Saruman listens to a new jam by Héctor Genis on the Yamaha SK50D and Roland TR-707, with the Strymon Timeline pedal melding it all together.
It’s quite remarkable how still Saruman is. He is clearly relaxed and in a comfy place sitting and listening to the music.
Our friend Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes struts across a vintage Korg Trident, specifically the mkII version.
You can see Gracie’s many appearances via her tag.
Alessandro Cortini reminisces about Frank, the original studio cat. He used to love to sit in front of synths like the EMS Synthi AKS.
We did feature Frank back in 2021.
Gracie is ready to program her beats into the vintage LinnDrum, while standing on a dk Synergy synthesizer. Below her we see an Oberheim SEM, a PPG Wave 2.5.,… and another dk Synergy!
Gracie always gets to play the best vintage synths at Synthetic Dreamscapes 😺🎹
Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes poses with a Moog Little Phatty, the first of Moog’s new analog synth line that began in the mid-2000s. As such, this might be the “youngest” instrument we’ve seen her pose with to date.
