The beautiful Tina poses with a rare Hammond 102200 synthesizer. Submitted by AxWax via Mastodon.
The Hammond 102200 is a new one for me. It’s a quirky monophonic synth with instrument presets (a bit like the ARP Pro Soloist) and an unusual matrix for modifying each of them with different waveforms, envelopes, and modulation options. I’d be curious to see/hear one in real life.
Juanita stands proudly atop a Behringer Blue Marvin, a tribute to the early “Blue Marvin” version of the ARP 2600. Plus, the Star Wars poster makes her photo purrfect for today, May the 4th!

I got the opportunity to see a rare actual ARP 2600 Blue Meanie at NAMM this year, courtesy of the Alan R Pearlman Foundation.
Juanita plays in front of a large and impressive Eurorack modular system.

The lovely Subaru enjoys some cuddles with her human, Dave Fulton, as they pose for us in front of an impressive modular synthesizer setup. A beautiful image of cats, love, and synths!

She is lovely, but so insistent on being held for increasingly long times. I fail to complete anything quickly.
We do what we must to accede to our cats’ wishes.
Haku sits quietly as our friend Erik Ribeiro explores the Korg ARP 2600 M, the smaller-sized version of their ARP 2600 recreation. Erik also shares his thoughts on the ARP 2600 and his relationship with this iconic synth.
I like that Korg has been making sized-down versions of these classic synths. In addition to the ARP 2600 M, there are the MS-20 Mini and the MiniKorg 700sm. Just like cats, I want to take them all home with me.

Percy relaxes on the sofa while Joel Izquierdo plays the Buchla Music Easel. If I’m not mistaken, that is also Strymon Big Sky pedal next to the Easel.
Here is the same scene of Percy and Joel, but in green.

Major poses with a very impressive MOTM modular system.
He clearly is proud of his vast collection.

Look for more of Major in the coming days.
The lovely Subaru poses with an Eric Synths Syntrx (1st version). The Syntrx, as one might surmise from its appearance, is a recreation of the EMS Synthi.

Fun fact about Subaru: she got her name after being rescued from a neighbor’s Subaru.
Haku relaxes on top of a 4ms modular pod (safely covered), which contains a 4ms MetaModule plus expanders, and a Doepfer A-111-5 Voice.

A “cat petting guide” on a PCB board for a modular synth.
From Jolinlab on Instagram. You can see their various synth offerings on their website.
I’m not sure which one has the cat PCB, but I suspect it’s the new Avalith instrument.
