"For sale is the very rare Chimera bC16 mini-modular synthesizer. Included is a small box that was included with the product, containing mini banana-plug connectors for the CV patch points --- these can be easily adapted to normal CV patch cables if you're handy at making cables. The unit runs on AAA batteries, so I do not have a power adaptor. The unit is rev. 3, which is the final (and best) version of the product released. CV and MIDI work great; the unit is in pristine condition.
The Chimera bC16 is an incredibly designed and executed the synth, but the business behind the product wasn't quite as savvy as you'd hope. I'm not sure how many of these things exist, but if you're here, you probably know they're a great cult synth that has been used by people like Depeche Mode and Throbbing Gristle.
One thing that's really cool about this synth is that if you make the cables to do it, you can interface the bC16 into any modular system. For example, I often used plugged the bC16 in as an extra LFO or oscillator, but the envelopes and filter are obviously available for patching as well. Because it also has MIDI, it's a bit of a swiss army knife in a modular studio."
