    CatSynth Video: Polyend Seq & Poly and Eurorack modular

    From Polyend on YouTube, via matrixsynth.

    “Another piece of sonic adventure from Alna and his helper. Polyend Seq & Poly couple ruling the Eurorack modular and DSI Prophet. Enjoy!”

    Here is another video of the Polyend sequencer, sans cat

    “Equipped with a wide array of Ins and Outs, allowing you to communicate freely with other devices of every era and genre. You can also feed tracks with MIDI notes using your favorite MIDI controller. Every track can be recorded step by step or in real time and then quantized independently”

    Grace returns to CatSynth, this time presiding as queen atop a rather impressive collection of vintage synths. We see Moog, Oberheim, PPG, Synergy, and more!

    A new Moog DFAM (Drummer from Another Mother) has arrived at the home of our friends at polynominal.com in Italy. But Marcel is clearly more interested in the box.

    Yes, even synth cats love boxes!

    Handsome Nico proudly shows off his Yamaha MOXF6 synthesizer. From Alan Kyle via Facebook.

    The MOXF series is Yamaha’s current workstation line, which combines MOTIF XF with studio features such as MIDI+USB and DAW control. As for Nico, we hear he is quite the sweetheart. According to Kyle, he is “so well mannered and affectionate 😁”

    Usually, the cats just take the boxes 😸

    CatSynth Pic: Bondo with Moog, Roland and Vox

    Bondo sits proudly on an original-series Moog Voyager. Next to him is a Roland RE-501 chorus echo. In the corner, one can see a bit of a vintage Vox Super Continental organ. Quite a collection!

    Beautiful Persephone posing in the studio of our friend Rob Robinson.

    We see a Behringer Model D (aka “the Boog”), a Korg Mini Kaoss Pad (original edition), and a vintage synth module that we can’t identify behind the kitty.

    A lot of amazing gear in this one picture. We leave it as an exercise to our readers to identify (but there are some hints in the tags).

    Dexter and REON Driftbox

    From Melker Häggbom Klingberg via Facebook.

    My buddy Dexter, figuring out how to set the MIDI channel on the driftbox.

    The REON Driftbox series of small synthesizers was introduced last year. Dexter’s appears to be a Driftbox SE model.

    The REON Driftbox SE is a digital paraphonic Synthesizer with 2 digital oscillators and an analog Steiner Parker filter. It features also an impressive amount of connections on the backside.

    We at CatSynth are learning more about these interesting little boxes. I find myself particularly intrigued by the J and S models.
