Near-zero latency.
A real synth — in pedal form.
Tracks your input in real time.
Keeping every nuance, it
re-synthesizes your playing in real time.
Deep sound design.
Simple control.
Powered by an ARM® Cortex®-M7.
Ultra-fast tracking, synth
processing, and effects — all running at once,
with low latency
built for live performance.

To power this unit,
use a DC 9V center-negative adapter
rated
at 500 mA or higher.
Lower-rated supplies may fail to boot or cause unstable
behavior
depending on conditions.
This preserves the harmonics of your instrument while synthesizing the character itself.
You can also control how much harmonic content is mixed in.
then analyzes it and sends pitch and envelope data to the oscillators.
Built for real-time play.
After pitch tracking, your signal
runs through oscillators and effects,
yet total measured
latency remains an ultra-low 12.5 ms.
That’s like standing ~4.3
m from your amp.
*Attack response varies depending on ADSR settings and sample waveforms.
Just like in the video, even radio turns into a synthesizer.
In addition, the following features support tracking stability,
playability,
and overall sound control:
・Sensitivity (tracking sensitivity) adjustment
・Note-level
compressor
・Transpose
・Pitch quantize
・Glide
(portamento)
Detune one, modulate the other with an LFO,
and build a wide range of sounds.
Wavetables and samples also have user slots — connect to a computer to add your own freely.
From square and sawtooth to retro-game tones and organ-like sounds.
Hard-sync the waveform cycle at 1–4 cycles
for razor-edged harmonic bite.
for dynamic movement.
Dial in the texture.
Morph smoothly between waves to create seamless timbre changes.
64-step wavetables
to animate the sound.

Control parameters freely with multiple modulation sources.
Unlock synth-style sound design in full depth.
Seven waveforms included, with MIDI sync support.
Route to volume for tremolo, pitch for vibrato,
or to hard sync and wavetable

Choose one effect from each of the four categories.
All parameters are saved per preset — instantly recallable,
so you can build a finished sound using QUIMERA alone.
Store 128 presets in the unit, saving every parameter.
