Bastl Instruments Basil

MUSICAL FEATURES

Basil is a compact and flexible digital stereo delay built on the Bastl Pizza platform.

Perfect for clean effects, ambient washes, glitchy sound design, distorted drones, and more. With the V/Oct input, fine-tuning of the delay, and a filter in the feedback path, it can also be used like a Karplus-Strong synthesis voice. The amount of feedback is also corrected with the shortest delay time, maintaining a constant decay characteristic even when the pitch changes.

The delay time features stereo spread and fine tune, and can be synchronized to a clock via the Sync jack. The feedback knob has simple feedback and a ping-pong mode where left and right channels cross-feedback.
