Kastle 2 WAVE BARD Experimental jam #1 (with KORG monotron delay)

video upload by alloutofsync

"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.

Feedback Fight! Umbra Takes on Dark Matter

video upload by Metamyther

"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."

"WAVEBARD wearing the skin of a WIZARD.

From FAQ,

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."

video upload by Bastl Instruments

"We finally caught up with our good old friend Peter Edwards (Casper Electronics) to talk about the Softpop SP2, which he co-created with Bastl’s co-founder Vašek Peloušek a few years ago. Peter shared some stories, insights into his design approach, and the personal touches he added to the SP2. Of course, we couldn’t let him go without a proper live set and a hands-on setup rundown. Thanks, Peter!
