Gracie and Oberheim DX
Gracie is back, and performing her duties as quality assurance manager for Synthetic Dreamscapes. This time she is standing on an Oberheim DX drum machine.
The DX was the successor to the DMX digital drum machine. It’s a bit lighter, and although I believe it has fewer sounds it has an even more important feature: MIDI.
You can see Gracie’s many other appearances on CatSynth via her tag.
Gracie and Roland MC-202
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, LinnDrum, Oberheim SEM, dk Synergy
Gracie is ready to program her beats into the vintage LinnDrum, while standing on a dk Synergy synthesizer. Below her we see an Oberheim SEM, a PPG Wave 2.5.,… and another dk Synergy!
Gracie always gets to play the best vintage synths at Synthetic Dreamscapes 😺🎹
Gracie and Moog Little Phatty
Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes poses with a Moog Little Phatty, the first of Moog’s new analog synth line that began in the mid-2000s. As such, this might be the “youngest” instrument we’ve seen her pose with to date.
Gracie and ARP Odyssey
Today Gracie shares with us an ARP Odyssey v1. The first version is distinguished by its darker design and stylized lettering – they took on a more minimalist design for subsequent versions.
As QA manager for Synthetic Dreamscapes, Gracie stands on everything they do.
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.
Gracie and Oberheim OB-Xa
Gracie of Synthetic Dreamscapes always has some great vintage synths to show off. Today she has an Oberheim OB-Xa polyphonic analog synth. As the quality manager for Synthetic Dreamscapes, she always “stands on everything they do.”
