Cats sitting by a Yamaha CS5 synthesizer. I think they are gazing at the black cat on the left who is posing adorably rather than the synth. From glebtheunholy on Instagram, in Moscow.

I am particularly curious to hear from those who still use the Korg Poly 800 II in their music, but as always any or all comments are welcome 🙂
CatSynth video: Yamaha DX7 DEMO RISE OF AN UNKNOWN
From paul mungru on YouTube, via matrixsynth. Spot the kitten!
The DX7 a sonic legend. I have made this synthesizer my project for over 20 years. They said it was impossible to program. They were wrong. Its different but once you know the major sound shapers.
There is no pure synth in history that can surpass what a DX7 can do straight from its own engine. As always 100% DX7 sounds.
I still have a Yamaha TX81Z and TX802 in the studio, but rarely if ever used these days. Part of it is the tedium of programming, though a good editor/librarian can take care of that. It would be interesting to combine the TX81Z and analog synths in the same composition, something that was rarely if ever done in the 1980s.

“That cat has one nice Yamaha CS30L.”
Note the box on floor for both “Micro Moog” (sp) and Moog Prodigy.
