Chimera
Capabilities 2
- Granular Synthesisgranular-synthesis
- Uses a proprietary granular synthesis engine built around metallic Surface samples to generate percussion sounds ranging from tight ticks to long granular washes.1091
- Percussion Synthesizerpercussion-synthesizer
- Dedicated metallic percussion synthesizer producing shaker, tambourine, and industrial percussion sounds via granular engine and post-engine effects.1091
Jacks 3 (2 in / 1 out)
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (2) | |||
| TRIG | trigger | ≥2V | 1091 |
| VCA | cv | — | Controls the module's master volume attenuator independently from the DECAY envelope, enabling externally driven dynamic changes.1091 |
| Outputs (1) | |||
| Audio Output | audio | ≤10V | 1091 |
Parameters 8
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| DECAY | knob | — | Controls the amplitude decline time, ranging from very short rhythmic ticks to long granular washes and clanging hits.1091 |
| FEEL | switch | — | Three-position mode selector controlling amplitude and timing behavior of triggered notes: uniform velocity, groove pattern with accents, or free oscillation of the granular engine.1091 |
| FX | switch | — | Selects the post-engine effect type from three options: quality reduction, sample rate reduction, or comb filtering.1091 |
| FX AMT | knob | — | Sets the intensity of the selected effect, or the frequency position of the comb filter when comb filtering is active.1091 |
| PITCH | knob | ≤5octave | Shifts the frequency of the selected metal surface texture across a 5-octave span, with each pitch position yielding distinct usable timbres.1091 |
| PITCH ENVELOPE | knob | — | Adds a rising or falling pitch contour over the decay; negative values create doppler-like wobble effects, positive values create laser-gun upward pitch sweeps.1091 |
| SURFACE | knob | — | Selects and morphs between 11 distinct metallic surface types derived from samples captured with sensitive microphones and processors.1091 |
| TRIG BUTTON | button | — | Manually triggers the module to fire a percussion hit, functioning as a hands-on alternative to the TRIG jack.1091 |
