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.

Cat Playing Semi-Modular Synthesizer
Saruman, Yamaha SK50D, Strymon Timeline and Roland TR-707
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.
Gracie and Korg Trident mkII
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.
Frank the Studio Cat and EMS Synthi AKS
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, LinnDrum, Oberheim SEM, dk Synergy
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 and Moog Little Phatty
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.
Gracie and ARP Odyssey
Today Gracie shares with us an ARP Odyssey v1. The first version is distinguished by its darker design and stylized lettering – they took on a more minimalist design for subsequent versions.
As QA manager for Synthetic Dreamscapes, Gracie stands on everything they do.

Scout, Yamaha SY-35, and Modular
Scout sits behind a Yamaha SY35 synthesizer. We also see a small modular system – we’ll leave the identification of the individual modules as an exercise for the reader.
Submitted by Carl Peczynski via our Facebook page.
The SY35 is an interesting synth among Yamaha’s SY series in that it allows one to move between FM synthesis and AWM (sampling) synthesis via the joystick, a bit like the “vector synthesis” found in the Prophet VS.
