"The Chimera bC9 synthesizer offers the same range of sounds as the bC8, with the ability to externally modulate any possible combination of the eight main control knobs, including the infamous ?patch? control; a ninth knob controls the depth of external modulation?

The semi-transparent frosted body diffuses the light from the ten LED?s that logically show various conditions and processes.

Note: Chimera is a boutique synth manufacturer. Some buyers have reported long delays between ordering products and getting them delivered. This item is ready to ship next day.
