Little Bear snoozes comfortably on the bench for a Hammond L-100 Organ. He is the brother of Chinook, whom we featured earlier this week.

Chinook and Moog Opus 3
Chinook is checking out his latest patch on the Moog Opus 3 by playing a low D. Submitted by Andy Excuse via our Facebook page.
We also have a more styled version of the photo.
The Opus 3 may not be the most well-known of Moog’s classic instruments, but it is a great little synth and very accessible, with separate sections for Strings, Brass, and Organ, each with its own Moog-style VCF. It’s been used by some famous bands we admire, including Kraftwerk and Stereolab.
Soda, Pioneer DJ, Bozak Mixer and more
Soda sits behind a couple of turntables and beneath a row of Pioneer DJ gear – two sources and remix unit. At the bottom, we see a Bozak mixer. It looks like Soda is ready to spin us some tunes and remixes.

Satie and Modular (Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, more)
Satie is once again posing handsomely atop his modular system – or rather, a modular that he shares with his fellow feline Tweek. In this view, we can see offerings from Mutable Instruments and Make Noise, and glimpses of others behind the nest of patch cords.

Jerry and Ensoniq ESQ-1
Jerry sits handsomely atop an Ensoniq ESQ-1 synthesizer; it looks like he is ready to share a large tone cluster with us.

Olive, Korg DW8000, Yamaha MOTIF
The lovely Olive returns, this time with a Korg DW8000 and Yamaha MOTIF. From Charles Whiley on Facebook.
I have been fascinated for a little while with DW8000. I encountered it back in the 1980s, but it was overshadowed for me by offerings from Yamaha, Roland, and Ensoniq. It came back to my attention a few years ago, and I started looking for an EX8000 (the rack version) – ultimately, I settled on its new successor, the Korg modwave.
You can see Olive’s previous appearances via her tag.
Bucky and Modular
Bucky poses handsomely next to an impressive modular system. We see many familiar modules, including Mr. Grassi, the Rossum Panharmonium, Erica Synths, Mordax DATA, and more. Bucky is certainly going to have some fun exploring these modules.

Are we doing cats and synths, is that a thing here? Let’s go!
Meet Buckminster aka “Bucky”!
He also has a sister who I’ll introduce soon.
