Ringo returns to CatSynth. This time, he is jamming on a Roland SP-404 SX sampler, Line 6 DL4 delay pedal, Waldorf Blofeld, and Korg M50 and TR61 keyboard synthesizers.
From our friend Damien Olsen in New York.
Cammi Granato sits comfortably next to a live board featuring Red Panda Context, Particles and Bitmap pedals, Make Noise 0-coast and Strega standalone synthesizers, and an AKAI MPX-8. Above is a Roland SE-02 synth, monitors, and “an electro-acoustic thing made by Flesh Vomit.”
Canine Eddie Lack chills nearby as well, providing us with a rare DogSynth pic.
From our friends Scott and Deb via Mastadon. They are a big part of the group that made the recent Wonder Valley Experimental Music Festival happen. You can see our highlight reel of all the acts from the festival in the video below.
Our friend Charles Whiley is restoring and upgrading a Roland JX-8P. We see Ansel (black and white) and Olive (tabby) hanging out nearby.
Millie plays a Roland Juno 106 analog synthesizer. Submitted by The Unfinished via BlueSky. They also shared last week’s pic featuring Frank and the Elektron MachineDrum.

Here is another video of Ringo taking a break next to the Korg Nautilus keyboard
Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes is busy repairing this Roland MC-202. She does more than just quality assurance and “standing on everything they do”.

Gracie finds a comfortable napping spot atop a Roland Jupiter 6 synthesizer, and she plays us a drone at the same time.

Kittens Kitty and Suzy play atop an Ensoniq ESQ-1, which has been (wisely) covered. Kitty is the one facing us on top, and Suzy is the one on the bottom with her back to us. Above them we see a Roland JP-8000 synthesizer.

This is the same ESQ-1 we saw a little while ago with Jerry posing. Sadly, Jerry passed away earlier this year. And just today, Jerry’s buddy Tom passed away as well. We at CatSynth extend our condolences to his family. But it is also nice to see these beautiful kittens welcomed into their home and carrying on Jerry’s legacy.
Parches poses with a vintage Roland TR-707 drum machine and a Space Echo RE-200. The 200 is a much rarer version than the popular RE-201 Space Echo. It has most of the same features, but a different look and feel.
From our friend Héctor Genis on Instagram.
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:
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 😺
