Tiny-TS: Just How Small Can A Playable Synethesiser Get?
The early electronic synthesizers were huge machines, racks of electronic modules that filled entire rooms. Integration of electronics over time successively reduced them, first to the size of a large piece of furniture, then to tabletop consoles, to standalone keyboards, and to small MIDI black boxes taking their instructions from another instrument or a computer. The original mass of discrete electronics had been reduced to a pile of ICs, then chipsets, then finally single ICs and software implementations on microcomputers.
It’s thus possible to make a synthesizer these days that is pretty small. If you can fit a microcontroller in …read more
