Halmet, Roland Chorus Echo, MCI JH-110 Tape System

Hamlet, aka Ham/Hammy/Hamster, poses in front of a vintage Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555 and a vintage MCI JH-110 tape recorder with rackmount control units. Hamlet and his human, Charles Whiley, certainly know how to find these old gems.

Here is another photo showing the gear more clearly, and of course, Hamlet’s handsomeness.

Another handsome pose.

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.
