Ron and Virginal

Ron naps comfortably atop a virginal, a small, rectangular type of harpsichord. Submitted by Ann Ramsey (@annxramsey on Threads).

Virginals use the same plucking mechanism for the springs as standard harpsichords, but usually only have one string per key, and lay them out transversely in a rectangular case like we see with Ron’s keyboard above.

Buddy, Korg Microsampler and MS-20 Mini, Behringer TD-3

Handsome buddy sits atop a Korg Microsampler. We see a Behringer TD-3 up front, and the Korg MS-20 Mini to the left.

Submitted by fan Erik Gibbels via our Facebook page. He shared a bit more about Buddy:

He is with me for about 2 months now. I adopted him from the shelter. He was found on the street. He is making very good progress as he was afraid of humans. I always wanted to have a red cat. He goes well with my 2 girls Kitty and Suzy. 

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.

Chichiro and XAOC Devices modular

Chichiro peers inside a case with modules from XAOC Devices.

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.

This expression speaks volumes 😸
