{"product_id":"bastl-basil","title":"BASTL INSTRUMENTS BASIL FLEXIBLE STEREO SPACE DELAY","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasil is a compact, yet flexible, digital stereo delay module built on the Bastl Pizza platform. It offers clean delay, as well as lo-fi flavors, and its Space section opens the doors to exploration far beyond simple delay territory. The Basil delay buffer modulates really well, allowing to recreate most classic time-based effects, such as chorus, flanger, vibrato, pitch shifter, reverb, and stereo widener, among others, and navigate between them with just a few performative gestures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eGo clean, go dirty, go hyper. In stereo!\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasil is ideal for clean effects, ambient washes, glitchy sound design, or distorted drones. With its V\/Oct input, fine delay tuning, and filter in the feedback path, it can also be effectively used as part of a Karplus-Strong synthesis voice. Even the feedback amount is compensated with the shortest delay times to maintain constant decay characteristics when changing pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe delay time features stereo spread and fine-tune components, and can be synchronized to the clock via the Sync jack. The Feedback knob has two sides - simple feedback and ping pong mode, where the Left and Right channels cross-feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eThe frontiers of space and time at your fingertips\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Space section brings a variety of flavors to the table! The Blur function provides two ways to diffuse the delay – either directly or in the feedback path, tilting the Basil delay towards the realm of experimental reverb machines. The feedback Filter offers low-pass and high-pass modes that can make the sound brighter or darker. And finally, Taps are multi-taps with either odd or even spacing, adding density to your delays and reverbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe assignable CTRL knob and CV allow you to modulate any of the many parameters (time, stereo, fine, dry\/wet, feedback, speed, freeze, lo-fi, blur, filter, and taps) and tailor the Basil delay to your preferred use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDrone till oblivion\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Speed section allows for longer delay times by running the buffer at half speed or – in the extended range – at quarter and eighth speeds. This approach creates octave jumps, ensuring the delays remain in tune with your material. It is also great for creating drone layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the sample rate goes very low at lower speeds, Basil brings in a low-pass anti-aliasing filter that removes high frequencies. However, you can also turn the filter off with the LO-FI setting and enjoy some downsampled goodness at lower speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Freeze function treats the delay buffer as a read-only sample loop that can be layered with the incoming signal. You can sync it and use all the other modifications with it as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eRaving reviews\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasil among the Best of Superbooth 2023!\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sinesquares.net\/musicgear\/bes-new-releases-superbooth-2023\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSinesquares\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eflexible STEREO delay buffer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estereo inputs (Left normalized to Right) and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV\/OCT DELAY input suitable for Karplus Strong synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTEREO spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFINE tune of delay time (for tonal applications)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSYNC input for synchronized delays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHALF SPEED with an extended range of quarter and eighth speeds suitable for octave jumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emax sample rate 41.66 kHz, 16-bit\u003cbr\u003e— max delay time in stereo 0.5 s\u003cbr\u003e— max delay time in mono (via ping-pong) 1 s\u003cbr\u003e— max delay time at half speed in stereo 1 s (2 s at quarter and 4 s at eighth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLO-FI setting for turning off the anti-aliasing filter for lower sample-rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDRY\/WET mix with a constant power curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFEEDBACK knob and CV with normal (right) and ping pong (left) modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFREEZE function to act as micro looper or for ambient washes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPACE section to add more dimension\u003cbr\u003e— BLUR for diffusion (inside or outside feedback)\u003cbr\u003e— FILTER in the feedback path\u003cbr\u003e— multi-TAPS for adding density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eassignable CTRL knob and CV (time, stereo, fine, dry\/wet, feedback, speed, freeze, lo-fi, blur, filter, taps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirmware updates via micro USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebased on the Bastl Pizza HW platform (different FW and front panel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BASTL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42222448705709,"sku":"","price":324.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/files\/bastl_basil_001-313x1000.jpg?v=1685740152","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.live\/products\/bastl-basil","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
