    Oreo with Gakken SX-150 MkII

    Cat with small red synthesizer. The words "Analog Fog" are written on the side.

    Oreo returns! This time, he is showing off a Gakken SX-150 MkII synthesizer. Submitted by John Weiner via our Facebook page.

    The Gakken SX-150 is a tiny analog synthesizer, sharing some elements with both the Stylophone and Korg Monotron series. It has a solid feature set for such a small instrument, including multiple LFO shapes, independent controls for filter cutoff and resonance, envelopes, and buttons to automatically sweep the filter. Like the stylophone, the stylus is the main pitch control. A purrfectly cat-sized instrument, though the stylus must be a bit challenging for paws.
