Thyme+ is the updated version of the wellregarded tapedelay effects unit from Bastl Instruments. It takes the original Thyme and puts it into a new metal enclosure with better knobs and buttons, and more importantly adds a lot of new features in the firmware!

In this video I show how I combine Thyme+ with my modular setup using Neuzeit Warp as a voice to send audio directly into Thyme+ for mangling and processing. I also explain how Thyme+ works, and explore the ‘Robots’ which let you automate parameters on the effects. I’ll also look at MIDI control of Thyme+ to show how you can do KarplusStrong synthesis with it.

There’s a lot to cover so here’s a timeline if you want to skip around
