I've had a Thyme for about three weeks now and I reference this vid a lot. 1 part inspiring 3 parts SUPER helpful. Thanks Cuckoo

I love the psychedelic sounds that come from using the ambiant noise and feed it back with effects into the device. really unexpected! Thanks for the demo!

My Thyme finally arrived today, I am excited, impressed, intimidated, anxious to totally lose myself for endless hours in this machine...Cuckoo you have influeced my spending habits again, thank you sir😀

I don't know if there is science behind it, but Cuckoo's videos are so much better after a bong rip.

Could we get a sample pack of you doing robot sounds with your mouth? It'd be the best thing to ever exist.

Cool! Thanks, Cuckoo! Can't wait for you to do a video on the Deluge :)

It's a fantastic piece of gear. I've got 2 now. It's not just a gritty lofi delay as Cuckoo shows (my ears are in pain) but also a great stereo hifi delay.

You always inspire me. I can barely make it through the video before I want to start noodling too.

I still think its one of my favorites and best of the decade.....great design and control of various functions . great box.

Great stuff. And what an interesting little box. Seems like the ideal drum processor for anything glitchy.

Great tutorial, thank you! Just got this beauty, I've barely tested it and scratched the surface but I love the results so far. Delays can sound really massive, and automating the Fine control can almost get you into reverb territory in some cases.

The more I see of this box, the more I like it.

Such a beautiful delay instrument. BASTL hit it out of the park with this one!! I think it suits you very well, excited to see what you create with it

Great walk through. Always enjoy your hardware tutorials.

I love this (and all Bastl stuff), but wow it's expensive.

Thank you for the terrific overview of this amazing device -- I've watched it twice now and keep learning new stuff. Nevertheless, there are some features which you do not even touch on, like the "shape" function and its looping capabilities. I, for one, would appreciate an in-depth followup tutorial. Anyway, thanks again for all you do! Cheers! R

Love these in-depth demo/tutorials, really helpful in showing of the possibilities and how to get there. More Bastl tutorials? Would love one for the Microgranny 2.5 / Kastle 1.5 / Softpop.

Anyone else think the gain knob looked really wobbly and loose? Is it actually like that for all of them or is this one just due to wear and tear?

What’s that mini synth?

thanks!

It's really good at making super high pitched songs.

Luv ya cuckoo!!! Greetings from Germany 😍😍😍🤣😂🤣😂

Because I can no longer send PMs from my app, I will ask this way..... Do you have the Koma fieldkit, and have you found a creative/interesting way to use it with the thyme? Thank you for this thyme video, M.R. Coco

Hey cuckoo, did the una corda sample video for the OP-1 get taken down? I can't find it anywhere, I wanted to use the links you put in the description to purchase the una corda patch for the op-1. Thanks!

Thyme made an Aphex Twin sound machine :)

How long of a sample can you record with this... I am still waiting for my thyme to arrive in the mail

Does “ sound “ equal to “ preset “ in the language of Bastl instrument ? You talk about “ 8 presets “ and after a while you talk about “ sounds “ : is it the same ?

Note to self: "totally lit" is to the right 🔥 🔥 🔥

would love another review after you get some more...thyme...on the pedal :)

It's taking forever to grow my hair like the True Cuckoo. How much growth per month do you yield ?

Are there any boutique reverb boxes like this delay you could recommend? I'm looking for a nice tabletop reverb with knobs / sliders that would be great for live hands on experimentation. Looking for options other than the usual pedals (Bigsky, Space, Ventris, Empress, RV-500, etc). And something other than the Retroverb Lancet or OTO Bam Space. Maybe something like the Seven Woods Audio Ursa Major Space Station ... but not as expensive. Thanks!

@truecuckoo

4 жыл бұрын

I was gonna say Bigsky, but.. for further experimentation perhaps you’re ready for ZOIA to build your own solutions?

Unabashedly digital to the point that basically everything coming out of it sounds like it has bit reduction to my ears. Seems cool but the sounds are a bit harsh, not sure if this one is for me. Love your tutorials as always tho.

It’s like automating a delay effect in your daw, cool for dawless set ups but at $600 for a pedal I’m a bit disappointed. Great review but looks like another niche product, a lot of hold this button, tap here when a free delay effect GUI can access all these parameters intuitively.

Kelly Merrill A Line 6 echo park or any cheapo boss/behringer delay pedal can do this self oscillation. Any tape type delay. feedback max and time very short and mix at maximum.) for a mere fraction of the price. No matter how many times you say ''cool'' ''' even cooler'' or ''interesting effect'' it is still a vintage tape delay effect at the end of the day , Not impressed at all.

Hello Cuckoo thanks again for another great vid. Is this the same size as a volca? I cant help but notice the input gain seems a bit flimsy?

@truecuckoo

6 жыл бұрын

Hello. This is very different from all of the Volcas. More specialised, and more depth, I'd say. The gain knob is different circuits from all of the other knobs. I'm not sure if it's just mine that is a bit soft like this, or if it's a part of the circuits or mount chosen for the analog gain knob. I'm not worried about it.

Did you practice beatboxing? Nice inward clap! :D

I wish it had CV control.

Suggestion for Bastl: make it possible to save data on pc, because when I make a cool song using these instruments, then I want to replay it again months later, it’s never exactly the same.

Wobbly knobs vs. Price tag = No thanks

It's worth 80 bucks

Half a grand for the wobbliest knobs and shittiest pads/buttons I've yet seen on ANY synth. And the sounds? Straight out of a zoom MS70CDR... You'd have more fun buying an actual sampler or tape machine. Even a watkins copicat isn't 500$ yet.

Not impressed but annoyed
