via the listing: "Here is a hard to find item! I was one of the few who actually received their order of this very unique/bizaar modular synthesizer. Very small in size, it is a hybrid (ergo chimera) of Digital (DSP synthesis) and Analog (VCF and interface + potential CV control)... This is a video I made of this very unit a few years ago:"

"I was using my microkorg to control the midi input of the ChimeraSynthesis BC-16. The patch was rather simple, mainly exploring timbres of this fun synth."

Aalto 1.3 is a free upgrade for all licensed Aalto owners. If you already own a copy of Aalto, simply log in to your Madrona Labs account and click “My Downloads” to see the new links. If you don't see the “My Downloads” section in the upper right after you log in, it probably means you were a very early customer. If that happens, please let me know and I'll sort it out for you.

An Aalto license is $99 US and includes all future 1.x upgrades as well as Mac and Windows versions. Since this upgrade is free, new purchases are the only way I'm funding the development—if you value the upgrade and you want to support my efforts, please spread the word so I can write more cool stuff.

I plan to release another minor upgrade relatively soon, with a bunch of new patches showing off the new features. I would like to add many more user patches with that package, so if you would like to contribute some, please get in touch!

Until next time,
Randy"
