You've given me two erections today Jivs, it's just not right. |

Mine. I bet it's gonna be expensive. But, mine. |

1600 euros For the looks, not the synth itself. |

You need a pair of glasses to read the labels for the modulation routings. Its not a problem if you know the device well, but I can see that interfering with your ability to get past foreplay. Other issues I have with it; The general layout seems cluttered. Also hate the knobs (unless they are rubberized plastic, which instantly makes them the most comfortable looking knobs in existence). Stuff that anywhere-instruments does always seems like high end DIY, which I guess is about par for most boutique synthesizers. Having said all that, I would love to get my hands on something they have done. I played with a couple of their synths when I visited Montreal and loved them. That Tinysizer would look like sex in any studio. |

It's possible to shrink analogue electronics down to very small sizes using modern surface mount components and multilayer PCBs, however making a small interface is always a challenge. I think the best way to do it is like a VCS3. Have and X/Y matrix of LEDs showing mod routings. Each route-able section of the synth has a push button. Press one button, then press another to route them. This causes the LED to light and a crosspoint switch internally connects them. Unlike a VCS3 the switch is an on/off (not different coloured plugs giving different levels). However the on/off state is the same as having a patch lead connected/ not connected. If you look at that thing, loads of it is mod matrix. If you could implement a smaller mod matrix you could make the synth even smaller. Maybe have metallised tops on the knobs. When you press a dedicated "route" button, the next two button tops which are pressed are auto routed. Coupled with dinky LEDs for the X/Y matrix display you could make it tiny. I suspect those those patch leads will break fairly quickly looking at them. |

Yeah, you need a certain amount of space to show a certain amount of information, definitely. i think they made good use of the space they had available, but I would have given myself a larger space to work with... Or for that matter, gotten rid of the Tinysizer label and input labels, and made more space for my modulation labels. |
