Timber - Exploring Bastl's Most Underrated Module
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- Timber is a dual waveshaping module combining clipping and wave-folding circuits in a typically "Bastl Way" which combines some novel routing with utility that you wouldn't necessarily expect to find in a module of this type. It is also, in my opinion, Bastl's most underrated module as its ability to transform and animate a signal is huge considering its small size.
This video hopefully serves as half-video manual, half-sonic exploration of this module.
Transparency notice: the Basil module was provided to me by Bastl for free for the purposes of making content about it. I was not otherwise paid and Bastl did not request, nor were they given any editorial oversight.

Bastl have a Black Friday sale starting soon which has Timber at 40 percent off, so if this has tickled your fancy: shop.bastl-instruments.com/eurorack/
(this isn't an affiliate link or anything, it's just a really good deal at this price so I wanted to share!)
The complex audio demo was really helpful. Love hearing the spitting and cutting out from the assymetry. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the "evil drone" section of the video!
Chris Meyer hipped me to this little gem ... Thanks Chris .
Thank you for this video. You do such a thorough and logical job of helping us understand a piece of gear to inform whether or not we want to spend hundreds of dollars to purchase. Appreciate it!
Thanks for this top-shelf walk through. I did snag one during Black Friday on the suggestion of my modular partner in crime @lengaimodular and it has not disappointed! I've been pairing it with Gen3 and TsL and it's transformed those two OSCs.
Superb walkthrough. I have my Timber paired with Pizza to destroy its beautiful sine waves. It's phenomenal when crossfaded with Pizza's polynomial wavefolder for a timbral romp through the harmonic series. Bastl create such thoughtfully designed modules that pack so much into small packages with extremely intuitive controls. I'd love to see you do an in-depth video on Ikarie next!
Thank you, and I agree, Bastl modules all do everything in a very Bastl way which is kind of hard to define, but "eccentric creative utility" is as close as I can get. I actually hadn't tried crossfading pizza's folder with Timber - definitely giving that a go later!
I'll let Bastl know that there's at least one request for Ikarie - but I do need to cover some of their other modules first - there are a few in my bottom rack I haven't touched on on the channel yet.
As always absolutely brilliant video
Thanks buddy!
@21:21 something like this would easily make for some cone ripping dnb basslines
There have bunch of times I've been using this and it's turned some boring signal into exactly that vibe.
How’s the Waver 👀? It seems like sending a dual bipolar vca and mixer through the Bastl-verse where lots of weird bits and bobs stick to it and it emerges c h a n g e d.
It's really good, and yeah, that's exactly it! I'll have to do a video on it soon and maybe do a comparison with Timber too...
Yes please! Waver has been one of my favorite modules since I got it last year. I'd love to see more examples of creative uses. Great video of Timber @@OscillatorSink
