As I understand the link button (I may be wrong), it isn't quite 'sync for the tape speed' (because that would make it jump values), but rather when enabled it keeps the delay time steady while changing the tape speed (thus re-pitching the buffer). So you hear what's already in the buffer go faster/slower but the new audio coming in will still keep the same delay rhythm. With link disabled, if you change tape speed, the delay time changes (not just what's in the buffer) as a real tape delay would. It's kinda weird but cool, one of those things you could only do with digital tape. I love the slower tape speed crunch too.
Fantastic video, as most of your videos are! Extremely helpful and well done! My thyme arrives soon and I’m excited as the original was one of my favourite delays ever!
@@SynthDad@SynthDad I'm not really attracted to music heavily drenched in copious amounts of delay and reverb. I get that it's fun and somehow therapeutic to create. But it's too easy. When I was in art class in high school, every failed clay project became an "ashtray." If you were trying to create a cat sculpture and it exploded in the kiln, you made an ashtray. I see ambient music as the ashtray of electronic music. Processing a piece of source material with effects until it's completely unrecognizable doesn't take much craft. Or maybe I just haven't heard enough of the good stuff (Sturgeon's law). But I do appreciate Bastl's design and engineering!

Ooh! I'm interested

Thanks - you'll dive right into the Thyme+ in that case
Great presentation. Love the design and interface...but the sound isn't really my style.
Thank you! What is it about the sound you don't like?
