Fluidbox (Chimers v2) is a heavily optimized and streamlined version of the more full-featured and complex Chimers
Features:
- Easy installs and updates with 1 script
- Continues to pre-configures connections like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Improved automatic connection of MIDI controllers (continues to support up to 2 instruments at a time)
- Now supports a wider range of instruments without needing to configure
- Faster startup time at 20s or less on low power hardware
- Optimized for a select set of instruments that have all the rich timbre from Chimers
- Streamlined for improved sound quality, enhanced stability, and reduced latency whilst performing well on low power hardware (e.g., 1GB RAM)
- Carefully tailored and exclusive versa5 system that allows one-handed switching of essential pre-configured instruments without a screen
- Even more tailored instruments that intuitively expand the versa-5 system through changes in hand position (e.g., the drum instrument can expand into several other drum instruments at the press of a button)
- Preserves many of the powerful benefits of Chimer's MIB system including:
- 10+ configurable backing tracks
- Metronome
- Improved volume control
- Sound test
- Restart
- Shutdown
- Remains headless/screenless interface via one of Chimer's low power voice engines
- Removed all complex or unstable features that were available in Chimers
