■An unprecedented and controversial product! A robot-operated effects processor.

Developed over three years by Czech ""geek genius group"" BASTL INSTRUMENTS, ""THYME"" is a stereo effects processor that defies conventional concepts.

Described as a ""sequenceable, robot-operated digital tape machine,"" THYME delivers a wide range of effects, including delay, phase shift, pitch shift, and filtering, with individual modulation, called ""ROBOT,"" applied to each parameter. Control via CV and MIDI is also possible.

Sounds can be saved to buttons 1-8 and sequenced freely. Sequence tempos can be synchronized to TAP (the internal clock), analog clock, or MIDI clock.

Use it not only as an effects processor for modular synths and desktop equipment, but also with electric guitars and other instruments (a bypass footswitch is available).

This sound processor will give you new creative possibilities like never before. It's a masterpiece of exceptional craftsmanship and artistic perfection in every detail!
