KIMERA 1.0 BETA — READ ME
Joe Simon Audio | Signal Domain ApS

WELCOME

Kimera is an audio effect for designing and playing modeled guitar amplifiers.
This note covers installation and first launch. The full User Manual contains
the detailed operating instructions.

INSTALLATION

Windows: Run Kimera-1.0.0-beta-Windows.exe and follow the installer prompts.

macOS: Open Kimera-1.0.0-beta-macOS.pkg and follow the installer prompts. If your
audio host was open during installation, close and reopen it so it can scan
for installed plug-in formats.

The plug-in formats included with a package will be identified on the Kimera
Downloads page. Check the system and host requirements in the User Manual
before installing.

ACTIVATION AND EVALUATION

At first launch, enter your signed license text and choose ACTIVATE, or choose
START 60 MIN TRIAL to evaluate Kimera. The evaluation timer applies separately
to each plug-in instance. When an instance's trial expires, its audio output
is muted; the editor remains available so you can save your design.

SAFETY

Start with conservative audio levels. Amplifier models can produce loud output
when input, gain, or output settings are changed. Check levels before playback
through headphones or loudspeakers.
