Ringo and Waldorf Blofeld Soundscape

Ringer creates a soundscape with the Waldorf Blofeld. Submitted by our good friend Damien Olsen.

We also see a Line 6 delay pedal, Korg M50 and TR61 keyboard synthesizers, a Roland SP-404 SX sampler, and more.

Ringo and Roland Juno D

Ringo poses amidst the creative chaos. We see a Roland Juno-D synthesizer, a Hologram Electronics Microcosm Pedal, a Zoom B3 bass effects pedal, pains, a bowl of painted eggs (or are they painted egg-shaped rocks?).

From our good friend Damien Olsen in New York.

You can see Ringo’s previous appearances via his tag.

Goose, Jupiter 50, ARP Odyssey, Rhodes

Goose sits atop a Roland Jupiter-50 synthesizer and plays us a D and E major second. Behind him, we see an ARP Odyssey reissue with MkII livery, and a Rhodes piano.

Submitted by Ian Alexander Ratzer via our Facebook page.

This is Goose – he hopped up on my Jupiter-50, my synth I use for live work, which is blocking my Rhodes and ARP Odyssey full-size reissue in Mark 2 livery, along with their pedalboards- while I program patches for my next gig.

Selma, Tommy, Oberheim Xpander, Roland D-50

We see the inseparable Tommy and Selma next to an Oberheim Xpander and a Roland D-50. We also see a PGM-1000 programmer for the D-50, and various pedals.

Submitted by René (@sportcatmusic on Instagram), who shares this:

Selma is the orange one and Tommy is the black one. They were rescued from Ibiza 16 and 18 years ago. Since then, they’ve been together 24/7 every day, very lovingly. Selma passed away 2 months ago. Tommy has been alone since then and is having a difficult time.

We at CatSynth are saddened to hear of Selma’s passing, and send our condolences to Tommy and René for their loss 😿

Sam Sam with Vintage Yamaha and Korg synths

Sam Sam has been recently sitting in front of the studio equipment rack. Above her, we see some vintage instruments from the 1980s, including our Yamaha TX802 and TX81Z FM modules, and a Korg DVP-1 “Digital Voice Processor”. Our Korg Volca and Roland Boutique synths are stored in the open space.

Dahlia with Roland JP-8080 and other synths

Dahlia strikes another beautiful pose, this time next to the Roland JP-8080. In the background, we also see a Korg MiniKorg 700, an Ensoniq ESQ-1, and a red Roland SH-101. We at CatSynth particularly covet a couple in this collection.

Dahlia, Roland MC-202 and JP-8080

The beautiful Dahlia returns, and she has brought some great vintage Roland machines: the MC-202 rhythm composer and the JP-8080 virtual analog module.

MC-2oh2 and Grand Duchess Dahlia Darling of Meowington Manor (Dahlia for short)…I interrupted a meowing and rubbing tirade to snap this pic. She went back to meowing and rubbing immediately after. She’s the best puss.
