Bananana Effects Quimera Pitch-Tracking Synthesizer Pedal 🍌

From the listing

Seller's description

The Bananana Effects QUIMERA is a pitch-tracking synthesizer pedal that converts incoming instrument signals into synthesised sounds in real time. Rather than simply applying effects to the original audio, QUIMERA analyses the fundamental pitch and harmonic content of the input, using this information to control its internal synthesis engines while retaining the dynamics and expression of the performance. Powered by an ARM Cortex-M7 processor, QUIMERA's tracking engine analyses incoming audio every 5ms, with a measured total processing latency of approximately 12.5ms. Independent fundamental and harmonic tracking allows the harmonic content of the original instrument to be incorporated into the synthesised output. Additional controls include tracking sensitivity, note-level compression, pitch quantisation, transposition and glide. Two independent oscillators provide layered synthesis, with three available synthesis engines. The Basic engine offers conventional waveforms, including sawtooth, square and organ-like tones, alongside hard sync with adjustable ratios and modulation. Oscillator A also provides a morphing wavetable engine with 64 frames per table, and a sample-based oscillator with multiple playback modes. User wavetables and samples can be imported via computer, while the sample engine also supports direct recording from the pedal's input. QUIMERA provides extensive modulation through two independent LFOs, three ADSR envelopes and an envelope follower that responds to the dynamics of the incoming instrument. Modulation can be assigned to oscillator parameters, pitch, volume, hard sync, wavetable position and other synthesis functions. Four effects categories provide a selection of 14 effects, allowing multiple effects to be combined within a single preset. The pedal stores 128 presets, with nine assignable across three banks of three footswitches for immediate access. Footswitches support alternate and momentary operation, including temporary preset ov
