Dear synth manufacturers, please stop releasing gear with microscopic fonts on the display. Don& #39;t assume that everyone has 20/20 vision. Please make accessibility a higher priority in your instrument design.

@WeAreElektron is a huge offender.
I had every single one of your current devices at some point (except the M:C). All of the give me eye pain.
I would love to be able to use your otherwise brilliant products.

Another really bad example is the screen of @Roland_US& #39;s MC 707.
Should come with a magnifier glass.

Squarp Pyramid is one of the best sequencer on the market for those who have perfect vision.

Here& #39;s a close up of @WeAreElektron& #39;s smallest font in the UI.
What font-size is that? 6px?

I understand that these are very innovative devices and it& #39;s a challenge to put all those features into a small, portable package. This is especially true for all the modular devices.
But we need more accessible hardware UIs, regardless.

But it& #39;s possible to put a lot of features into a device without having to force eye strain. Look at @synthstrom& #39;s Deluge.
Some complain that the screen is too cryptic. For me, it& #39;s a feature that allows me to actually use this device.

@AshunSound& #39;s HydraSynth& #39;s context dependent encoders have a light ring around them, so no need to put this info on a screen.
@WeAreElektron I& #39;m sure you& #39;re aware, but still, here& #39;s a reminder.

I would love if the synth influencers called out manufacturers when they make inaccessible products. There should be more discussion about the topic.

Disclaimer: yes, I have really bad vision. I wear -8 and -9.5 D contact lenses. My glasses are even higher. My left eye can be corrected to 90% vision, but my left can only do 30% max.
But 75% of adults need some vision correction, so I might not be the only one struggling.
