BASTL INSTRUMENTS / THYME+

A spectacular "digital" tape machine based on the working principles of analog tape echo.

SPECIFICATION
Analog input gain knob up to +20dB
THYME+ is a magnificent "digital" tape machine based on the working principle of analog tape echo. Not only can you freely adjust the tape speed and multiple head positions, but you can also use feedback and filters to create delay sounds that go beyond your imagination.

Each parameter of the effect is equipped with a modulation function called "Robot". It can provide modulation sources that go beyond just LFOs, such as envelope followers, external CV mode, and wave shaping. You can manually adjust the nine parameters or control them with a fine-tuned randomizer, and your sonic adventure will extend into the universe!

THYME+ can add unique spice and texture to your audio sources and turn them into a sound designer's dream. It can also handle large setups with MIDI, analog clock, and CV inputs, and it also has a foot switch input.
