Chimera Bc16: Bite-sized patch synth
The latest, tiniest invention to hit the synth scene comes from fledgeling one-man synth company Chimera Synthesis, and features an analog VCO, LFO, ADSR envelope, VCA, VCF, ring mod and noise generator, all in a case the size of a cd! Packed into that space are also sixteen dedicated knobs, a headphone jack, and a space for two nine-vold batteries; alternatively, it can be run from a third-party +/-8 to 12 volt source. The website is under consruction and somewhat short on details as of the time of writing, but it does say that the Bc16 can be used with a MIDI/CV converter or hooked up to other Bc16s. Future updates there will (hopefully) give us sound demos of some kind.

how does this thing work tho. no midi...and there is no sequencer. i have a feeling this would go big like xox box so i better hurry up before it is all gone and pricey. so i guess this is like modular synth...
please somebody reply this comment.
It uses Controlled Voltage, and so requires a MIDI-to-CV converter.
you can use it on it's own without any control but they are going to make a cheap midi-cv converter, also an optic input(like thingamagoop), and also they will have a step sequencer in their line of products eventually. i emailed them for info and got a helpful response
