"Anyware Instruments Tinysizer — serial number #5, one of the earliest examples of this legendary desktop modular system.

Hand-built in Germany and long discontinued, the Tinysizer was designed to pack a full modular experience into a compact, self-contained format, featuring fully patchable Oberheim-style VCOs, state-variable filters, a host of CV modulation options, and internal DSP reverb/delay.

This particular unit functions perfectly and sounds absolutely massive — rich analog tone with all the flexibility of a true modular system."

1. [The Buchla Series] #0 introduction
"Here is the introduction to a new series of videos about Buchla synthesizers.

2. [The Buchla Series] #1 Differences between eurorack and Buchla
Edit. I forgot to mention that Buchla audio levels are line levels, they don't need to be attenuated to be used with external gears like eurorack. Moreover the CV doesn't use the same standards by default, Buchla uses 1.2 V/Oct tracking and 10V Gates.

"Second Sound Unisyn. The UniSyn is the best standalone audio to synth solution out there today. It converts your monophonic audio, even vocals, to synth waves (sine, square, or sawtooth), pitch/env/gate CVs to control analog synths, or MIDI. I am selling gear I no longer use, to cover medical bills."
