Thyme effects processor by Bastl Instruments

Published on Sep 18, 2017 Thngs

"The Thyme is an effects processor that is best described as a sequenceable robot operated digital tape machine. With a lot of parameters at hand it enables the exploration of all the time based effects and the vast space in between their classical multi-effects categories (delay, phaser, reverb, chorus, pitch shifter, multi-tap delay, tape delay, tremolo, vibrato, compressor) and in stereo! Each of the 9 different parameters (Tape Speed, Delay Coarse & Fine, Feedback, Filter, extra heads Spacing and Levels, Dry Wet Mix and Volume) has a dedicated, very flexible modulation source – called the Robot – which can be phased out differently for left and right channel to create psychedelic new sound effects."

SoftPop synthesizer by Bastl Instruments

Published on Sep 17, 2017 Thngs

"SoftPop is a playfully organic, semi-modular light and sound synthesizer with wide variety of sounds: from random dripping water pops to heavy subtractive basslines. Its fully analog core consisting of a heavily feedbacked system of dual triangle-core oscillators, state variable filter and sample and hold is played through an intuitive interface of 6 faders that provide countless combinations which can be explored by anyone."

Fun piece.

"In the absence of any kind of order, with very little preparation, sound energy is made from chemically stored electrical energy. The 0-Coast is the only outlier of the group, demanding its energy in the form of quickly alternating voltage.

The continually spinning turbines use concepts of special relativity to push endless electrons to the consumers. The synthesizers transfer electrical energy to (sometimes) audible frequencies and then send the signals to the air-movers so we can feel the waves.

Support alternative energy! Everything is star powered if we look back in time far enough. We now have the technology to cut out the middle men and stop burning things here in our atmosphere to make electricity. It's time to let our favorite star do the 'burning' millions of miles away, far outside our tiny layer of air."
