  • CatSynth Pic: Obie in the Studio

    CatSynth Pic: Obie in the Studio

    Obie sits in the center of Charles Whiley’s impressive studio. Obie is short of Oberheim, and we of course love black cats. But he is rarely photographed with the synths compared to Mr. Maximillion. We are happy to be able to feature him today 😺

    Marcel (black cat) in box next to Moog DFAM

    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!

    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).

    Good thing our little synthcat doesn’t shed too much

    And from resting to performing…

  • CatSynth Pic: Syd and Roland  Juno 60

    CatSynth Pic: Syd and Roland Juno 60

    Syd struts down a Roland Juno 60 with maximum floof effect.  From Moustafa Ismail via the Facebook group Synthesizer Freaks.

    A bit more on the Roland Juno 60, one of the classics:

    Among the first in Roland’s amazing Juno family! Six analog voices of polyphony and patch memory storage!! The Juno-60 sounds great, however, like the Juno-6 it lacks MIDI control. The Juno-60 includes 56 patches of memory storage. The Juno-60 is still popular due in part to opinions that it sounds better (punchier) than the Juno-106. The Juno-6 and 60 are very rich sounding synthesizers and are great analog machines as long as you can withstand the absence of MIDI control.
