Overview
Inspired by our love of all types of percussion, Tymp Legio isn’t your normal drum-kit module with
samples or basic emulations of simple sounds. Instead, we took the challenge of a small percussion
module as an opportunity to make the sounds we wanted in a drum kit and fit them all in 6hp. Tymp
Legio’s simple interface puts a massive tonal and textural range under your control. The modes
(Boot, Cat, Boing) are more of an onomatopoetic guide to the sounds each encompasses. Each
mode is offset in pitch, but dial them up or down for even more versatility. Toggle the Tang switch to
select the flavor within each mode that suits you. The Quack inputs will duck your audio to your
percussion (or pass through in Boing mode), making Tymp Legio a fantastic performance
percussion module.
Tymp Legio is big percussion in a small footprint. That’s not all, though: it’s also a platform. Head to
the Customer Portal to swap the functionality of your module to a growing number of alternate
firmwares, completely free.
