Teeny Tiny Miniature Synths

Most of us love vintage synthesizer aesthetics, but some of those suckers are BIG! - not everyone will have space for them. The Optima House creates 3D miniature keepsakes - modeled on the originals, but far easier to store!

When asked about the project's inception, Korg's Miniature Collection was mentioned as an inspiration.

"You know, there are tons of variety in Gashapon (miniature capsule toys) in Japan. But I wanted an M1. I discovered synths in 1986, so I am a total noob in analog stuff. Actually, I have a background in architecture so making scale models is very natural."

The synths are modelled in Sketchup, 3D-printed and then decorated with decals - the level of detail is impressive. We wish The Optima House all the best on their miniature synth adventure!
