Bastl Instruments Thyme+ - tape delay fun
[/COMMENT]
This is my first instrument definition file that I’ve created from scratch that I’m willing to share, and I’ve had some success with the ones I’ve found here, so I wanted to make sure to pay it forward! TBH, I found this tape delay a bit confusing to use before I started “playing” it through the Hapax, so hopefully others with the Thyme+ can really see how much potential this device has to make some weird and fun sound manipulations. It goes great paired with my Nightverb which I’m working on a definition to post.
I took out my own midi and device info so you’ll have to change the NULL values for your own setups. There is A LOT of modulation options with the Thyme+, but with 9 params per knob(!), I ran out of automation lanes and just picked the ones that I liked to have available the most, so you can adjust which automations you want to use as you see fit. I’m a n00b with these def files, so any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks,
Todd
