I just took out the Korg Monologue for a knob cleanup and this void decided to lie down and sleep. I love you, Tuna. You deserve expensive beds (i.e.; our synths)
It’s Friday the 13th but not a bad luck with this adorable cat. This is Tuna, btw. That’s a Yamaha DX100 that he uses as his chair or bed. And that’s a mini-blep if you look closely.
Tuna sits on a Yamaha DX100 synthesizer, and Sora sits nearby. According to @thedigitalpurrgatory on Threads, they are looking at an orange stray cat that showed up in their home.
Perhaps this mysterious orange visitor will show up in a future CatSynth pic…

Edward (Ed) finds a cosy spot next to a large Eurorack modular system. We see a Euclidean Circles modules from vpme, several DIY-built modules from Nonlinear Circuits with the colorful knobs, a Make Noise Maths, and a Volts Platz from Frequency Central.
Beautiful Lilly sits atop a Yamaha DX21 synthesizer. Behind her, we espy a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator. (The reel-to-reel tape recorder is nice as well.)
The DX21 was a 4-operator FM synth in Yamaha’s DX line. Not quite as powerful as the 6-operator instruments like the DX7, or the later 4-operator synths like the TX81Z, but nonetheless fully capable of complex FM synthesis. It also featured multiple layers and keyboard splits, which separated it from the other 4-operator instruments at the time like the DX27 and DX100. (Yes, there were a lot of DXs in the 1980s.)
