Multimode Digital Percussive Panache
Tymp Legio — from the Latin, “legion of drums” — was born from a desire by Noise Engineering to challenge themselves to serve up a powerful percussion module that would only take up a portion of the space required by their Basimilus Iteritas Alter drum synth module. And don’t get it twiste: Tymp Legio exists in a world of its own, in part, because of the Legio stereo DSP platform, but also because it’s truly its own machine. The 3-way Mode switch is where you’ll find your broad categories of drum sounds: Boing, for the metallic and clanging; Cat, for snares, toms, and mid-focused noise; and Boot, for lasers, subs, and other low-end oomph. Opposite that, the Tang switch chooses a variation of that category. The underlying synth sonics that power this module can be attenuated with Pitch, Decay, and Wackitude parameters, the last of which adjusts timbre. These three control points, alongside the Hit trigger, and be managed via CV and trigger signals, allowing for distinctive beat-crafting, while the stereo I/O’s Quack features introduces some sidechain-flavored ducking, much to the delight of Sweetwater’s electronic afficionados.
