Can you build worlds just with sound?│Bastl Instruments Presents: Oliver Torr’s Artist Sample Pack
video upload by Bastl Instruments
"Dive into the sonic world of Oliver Torr —a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and sound designer working at the edges of sound, performance, and speculative technology.
In this mini-documentary, we follow Oliver while exploring his unique approach to sound design, instrument building, and world-building in audio . Every object, every space, every moment becomes material for creating new worlds and stories – if we only look through the right lenses.
Oliver created the original factory sample bank for Kastle 2 Wave Bard. He included a secret Easter-egg bank there as well (we wonder if you managed to find it there yet hehe).
And now we are proud to present Oliver’s Artist Sample Pack.
🎧 Download the Sample Pack
You don’t need to own a Wave Bard or a Citadel to explore it — everyone is welcome.
Open our Sample Loader Web App, select “Preset” → “Citadel by Oliver Torr”, generate the firmware, and load it onto your Kastle 2 or Citadel.

Bastl Bitranger With Synapse 4x4 Matrix Keypad / A Rare Combo
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this eBay listing
"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

Bastl CITADEL - FX WIZARD Multi-effect processor & WAVE BARD Stereo Sample Player
video upload by Bastl Instruments
User videos:
Playlist:
1. Bastl Citadel Breakbeat Party - Stazma and Bastl Instruments
2. BASTL CITADEL! FX Wizard and Wave Bard Sampler comes to Eurorack! - The Unperson and Bastl Instruments
3. Bastl Citadel: A TWO-FACED friend with Samples + FX - Turbo Tambourine and Bastl Instruments
Check with dealers on the right for availability and price.
"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 switchesfor 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."
