Timber - Exploring Bastl's Most Underrated Module
Channel: Oscillator Sink
Date: 2023-11-23

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.
