Instruction manuals for 100 Grit & BrainSeed pictured below.
"The 100 grit is a distortion, VCA, and low pass filter module with 8 brass touchpoints.
Features:
8 brass touchpoints 2 inputs to transistor core low pass filter Voltage control over frequency, resonance, and gain OTA VCA with soft saturation characteristics Distortion circuit based around a vintage headphone amplifier driven into instability Three position x100 gain switch with off, on, and momentary on settings Each input and cv input is normalled to a different feedback path (6 total) Seperate outputs for the VCA and distortion Can operate as a vintage voiced VCA and LPF or a screaming distortion and noise effect All analog design"
"One Bitranger with Synapse matrix keypad, original manual and 12 DuPont pin patch cables
Excellent condition, does not include battery or PSU
The bitRanger is a patchable analog logic computer that sculpts sonic worlds ranging from data noise to melodic arpeggios. While being a handheld standalone synth, it is also right at home in the music studio. Extensive connectivity makes it so flexible that it can connect to almost anything: CV control its unique sound, sync it with drum machines and sequencers or use it as an algorithmic CV / GATE pattern generator.
Go nuts! Bit nuts!
The patchbay of the bitRanger is a place for exploration where you can simply connect outputs to inputs to see what happens. This can be done methodically or with complete experimental abandon. Go nuts! Battery Power and a built-in speaker make the bitRanger totally portable. Tweak it’s 4 knobs, 8 switches, and more than 100 patch points in the woods, on the beach, on a train, and in the studio.
Features
LFO clock oscillator for rhythmical modulation
VCO oscillator is synced to the HFO oscillator
4 modes of operation selectable by 2 switches
built-in speaker with volume control
On /Off switch
expansion connector
package includes 3 photo resistors – make your oscillators respond to light by plugging these into the Bend socket
"Spooky Serge! An Evil Pet! BugBrand Brutality! WARNING: STROBE EFFECTS!!
This piece was originally intended to be a halloween themed video but I couldn't get it done in time. lol
Using the @BugBrand Chirper for the main voice, controlled by the @prismcircuits1974 Hymenium and processed by @Endorphines Evil Pet. The undulating background is comprised of some classic Serge feedback patches, running through a Bastl Thyme+.
"Join Wes as he dives deep into the Bastl Citadel, showing you how to squeeze out every bit of its sonic power. This video manual walks you through the key features, patching tips, and creative tricks to help you truly master the Citadel and make it your own.

"Bastl CITADEL - Fortress of Modular Magic - is a Eurorack reimagination of the popular Kastle 2 semi-modular desktop device. The CITADEL comes with a full 3.5mm patch bay that offers the flexibility needed in the Eurorack format while maintaining the strengths of the Kastle 2 allowing it to stand on its own, and yet let it truly shine when patched with other modules. We’ve also added switches for hands-on control of the pattern generator. The Citadel provides the basic infrastructure needed to integrate Eurorack systems within the context of electronic music making: headphone output, TRS MIDI input and sync, tempo generator with divider/multiplier, USB MIDI (from the back of the module), stereo mixing, integrated LFO and Pattern generator and effects. All that makes it the perfect module for smaller and beginner systems while the fun and unique creativity of the Kastle 2 firmwares: the FX WIZARD multi-effect processor and WAVE BARD sample player will earn its place in larger setups.
🛠️ Get Wave Bard & FX Wizard at the same time 🔃 The Citadel comes equipped with a reversible front panel with WAVE BARD on one side and FX WIZARD on the other side. It also comes with our custom designed tool to make the panel switching as seamless as possible. You can load and try different Citadel/Kastle 2 present and future firmwares and updates with a USB port (on the back).
The Citadel might break a few rules of standard Eurorack design, but it does so in the name of instant musicality, fun, and effortless integration of Eurorack with other gear. The PITCH inputs on the WAVE BARD track 1V/Oct, are factory-calibrated, and there’s even dedicated calibration software to ensure a perfect match with your source."
"This is an experimental "harsh yet rhythmic" jam I started on a whim. I connected the Monotron Delay to the Wavebard’s in/out and used it like an external effect. The output is mono, but in post-processing I applied the following effect chain to create a stereo image.
Effect Chain Overview: The signal first passes through Redux, which reduces the sample rate and bit depth slightly to add a subtle crushed texture. Next, the sound is routed into an Audio Effect Rack where one chain applies Reverb and another keeps the signal direct. This creates a balance between the processed and dry sound. The Reverb is set with a short predelay and moderate decay, shaping the reflections with input filters and adding some stereo width. A small amount of chorus is also applied within the reverb to make the stereo image wider and more spacious. Finally, two instances of Utility are used. The first adjusts gain and ensures the stereo width is maintained while controlling the low end with mono-bass settings. The second provides additional level control and ensures that the bass frequencies remain centered in mono.

"In this video we compare Isobar’s Umbra, a powerful stereo feedback accumulator, with Bastl’s Dark Matter, the cult-favorite feedback and distortion module, to see how each shapes sound in a Eurorack system. This head-to-head demo explores their strengths and differences. This comparison will help you decide which feedback module is right for your setup."
Q: What’s the difference between Kastle 2 Wave Bard and Kastle 2 FX Wizard? Can I use the Wave Bard firmware on FX Wizard?
A: Both devices are built upon the same Kastle 2 platform and they share the same internal hardware. They differ in the faceplate and manual. You can easily load Wave Bard firmware into FX Wizard and vice versa."
"Bastl's garden had the pleasure of hosting our dear friend and artist Adéla Konečná – Orinoko. Among the Bastl Crew, she is known as the "Queen of Kastles," as we have seen her bend these little machines to her will many times during our Bastl Jams and her other shows. Watch Orinoko weave a dark yet delicate musical thread with the OG Kastle Drum and two Kastle 2 Wave Bards.
Thanks Orinoko!"
