Noise Engineering Tymp Legio review
Sounds Engineering Tymp Legio: What is it?
Percussive voice modules are not tough to locate, so why would a developer release a further? Sounds Engineering has answered that concern with Tymp Legio, that offers some useful further attributes on best of a functional voice module.
The 6hp module is nicely created and graphically appealing though staying evidently labelled. The layout is easy, with three substantial knobs for pitch, decay and Wackitude (extra on that later), a toggle swap for selecting the 3 modes and one particular for Tang, a sub method selector. The bottom fifty percent is focused to a total set of CV ports. These permit patching of pitch, decay and wack, together with a bring about input. Beneath them you’ll come across a stereo input and output pair. All superior, although the stereo pairs are positioned best to bottom (and horizontal would make extra perception).
Sounds Engineering Tymp Legio: General performance and verdict
So, what makes this module stand out? First is the sheer tonal wide variety on offer you. The three modes are named onomatopeiacally, Boot, Cat and Boing and each and every handles a good tonal assortment in alone. Getting all 3 and the Tang choices truly delivers a large array of opportunities. The Boot choice can do every form of kick you can believe of, or patch in as volts for each octave to produce some great bassline sounds. Cat is excellent for noisier sounds, like snares, and has as a lot range as Boot does, even though Boing is very good for crisper, a lot more metallic sounds, excellent for cymbals.
Tones is even more shaped by the wackitude command, that functions a bit like a wavefolder and, in conjunction with the method switches, allows a good deal of tonal refinement. The CV inputs make for some outstanding modulation, truly incorporating lifetime to a patch, particularly the Wack input.
The stereo inputs, labelled Quack, can be used as a uncomplicated mixer in Boing mode, or in Boot and Cat modes you can duck the audio, based mostly on the position of the decay knob, a useful overall performance element that saves room elsewhere in a rig and is not frequent on drum voices.
Lastly is the truth that Tymp Legio, as the names suggests, can have Legio firmwares set up, for totally free, above USB – probably breathing new everyday living into the device when the have to have arises. The stereo oscillator and dynamics processors are already out there and Noise Engineering even presents printable overlays for the front panel.
MusicRadar verdict: Enormous versatility, superb make excellent and tones to accommodate any need to have. The capacity to install various firmwares is an outstanding extra.
