So there are more news on the Chimera Synthesis Site (Chimera Synthesis). I still haven´t bought one of their synths, but the decision is nearing. Now they have released another synth, named bc08, which as they describe it is a “subminiature synthesizer” with an integrated simple sequenzer. There´s not much more info on their site, just two photos, where you can see the SMD (surface mount devices) technique that is used to produce their miniature synths, and which does also explain how they do it, to fit a synth into such a restricted space. So more info and videos coming soon.

Tom Whitwell of Musicthing just posted a short demo of random patching on vimeo. That thing really got me. I´ll be ordering it as soon as GAS-Budget´s on level again:
