A really sweet photo from the vault of our friend Kamal Sabran.

Gracie with Roland TR-808 and CSQ-600
Our friend Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes proudly shows off some vintage Roland boxes: the well-known TR-808 and the lesser-known CSQ-600 (that’s the one she’s actually standing on).
The CSQ-600 is a digital sequencer, but with analog CV and gate outputs (it predates MIDI). It allowed both step and real-time recording and had four separate sequences that could be chained or stacked. It could potentially fit as a sequencer in today’s analog modular systems.
Blaze with Roland SP-606 and SP-404 MkII
Introducing Blaze, one of the newer members of the household with our friend Alessandro Cilano (automageddon on Instagram). We see her with a 20-year-old Roland SP-606 as well as an SP-404 MkII.
Blaze is still a kitten and gaining her “catsynth” paws.

Ringo with Roland, Korg, Zoom, Waldorf
Ringo joins us from Brooklyn and shares with us a brief jam on a Roland SP-404SX, Korg TR 61 workstation, Zoom G3 effects box, and Waldorf Blofeld. From our friend Damien Olsen.
You can see a bit of a show that both Damien and I played in Brooklyn back in 2019
Kamal Sabran – Lighting, Thunder and Storm
A fun little jam from our friend Kamal Sabran and his cats. Watch for a close-up of our non-plussed feline friend grooming right through the jam. I like the way the drum sounds and rhythms have been chopped up with loops, delays, etc. And as always, I’m curious about what the reel-to-reel is contributing.
Little Bread on a big Juno 106
We see Bread much younger (and smaller), sitting on a Juno 106 vintage analog synthesizer.
