Roland JX-8P with Ansel and Olive
Our friend Charles Whiley is restoring and upgrading a Roland JX-8P. We see Ansel (black and white) and Olive (tabby) hanging out nearby.
Mr. Puff and Yamaha SK-20
Olive Jams on the Minimoog Voyager
Our sweet from Olive jams on the Minimoog Voyager Electric Blue edition, and even sings a few notes for us at the end.
Mr. Puff as a Meerkat, and Yamaha PSS-470
Ansel and rack-mount synths
Ansel is showing off an absolutely insane (in the good sense of the word) tower of vintage rack-mount synthesizers. From top to bottom, we see:
- Novation Supernova Rack
- E-MU Audity 2000
- Casio VZ-10M
- Yamaha TX-802
- Yamaha TG77
- Roland SC-880
- Oberheim Matrix 1000 (x2)
Below the rack and just above Ansel we see a Sequentix Cirklon sequencer.
All in all, quite impressive – we at CatSynth are a bit envious 😺

Mr. Puff and Yamaha PSS-470
Mr. Puff demonstrates unequivocally who owns this Yamaha PSS-470. From our friend Charles Whiley via Facebook.
The PSS-470 is interesting in that it incorporates Yamaha’s FM engine – with a few real-time parameters – into the case and design of a home keyboard. Of course, it also includes the typical features like a drum/rhythm engine with the obligatory “Bossa Nova” beat among others.
Mr. Puff: Oberheim Matrix 10, Novation Supernova ASM
Mr. Puff sits comfortably on top of a console next to two Oberheim 1000 synthesizers, a Roland rackmount line mixer, and a Novation Supernova ASM synthesizer.
Mr. Puff is one of the many cats living with our friend Charles Whiley in Arkansas. He does have some physical challenges, but as we can see, he is living his best “synth cat” life 😻
