Basil - Stereo Delay

Casper x Bastl

Basil offers clean delay, as well as lo-fi flavors, and its Space section opens the doors to exploration far beyond simple delay territory. 

The Basil delay buffer modulates really well, allowing to recreate most classic time-based effects, such as chorus, flanger, vibrato, pitch shifter, reverb, and stereo widener, among others, and navigate between them with just a few performative gestures.
