Dahlia with Roland JP-8080 and other synths

Dahlia strikes another beautiful pose, this time next to the Roland JP-8080. In the background, we also see a Korg MiniKorg 700, an Ensoniq ESQ-1, and a red Roland SH-101. We at CatSynth particularly covet a couple in this collection.

Chichiro and XAOC Devices modular

Chichiro peers inside a case with modules from XAOC Devices.

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.

This expression speaks volumes 😸

Cat Modulator (Clarita & Stylophone Theremin)

Cats seem to just go together with the Stylophone Theremin. Here we see Clarita with one, from @datachild on Instagram via Stylophone’s official account.

We definitely need to get one of these here at CatSynth HQ!

You can see our recent review of the rare Stylophone Gen R-8 here.

Ziggy Cat Cool (ARP TRAX)

We found this gem via our friend Bill T Miller, a musician, engineer, filmmaker, photographer and kook. You can hear and download the track from his Bandcamp page.

We see several ARP instruments, including an early Odyssey and a 2600. We also see a Buchla modular system and a Eurorack modular system. Bill and Ziggy have a great setup.

You can find out more about Bill’s multi-faceted work via billtmiller.com.

Although we connected recently, via our mutual friend Dina Pearman-Ifil of the ARP Foundation, it turns out Ziggy was featured in this post several years ago.
