Imagine a synthesizer that thrives in sunlight, turning lazy afternoons into deep, rumbling soundscapes without a single cable in sight. The Bass Thyris dives into sub-audio realms where tones dissolve into rhythmic pulses and clicks, perfect for layering otherworldly bass under higher melodies.
This fully analog, polyphonic touch instrument packs 24 triangle wave oscillators across four octaves, tuned to non-Western just intervals and neutral relationships set by internal resistors—distinct from its Redd and Green siblings for unique ensemble interplay. Triangular touch plates let you play notes directly with your fingers, while pressing central nodes introduces gestural cross-modulation for evolving timbres and pitch bends. At a portable 11" x 3.14" x 0.8", it runs on a solar-rechargeable internal battery or optional 12V PSU, with a built-in 0.5W speaker for instant diffusion or a 3.5mm mono line out for amplification.
Players love its tactile immediacy and endless experimentation, though some note the fixed tuning demands creative adaptation rather than traditional scales. It's a standout in Ciat-Lonbarde's Tocante series for anyone chasing raw, performative analog bass magic.
