A Seamless Bridge Between Eurorack, DAWs, and Grooveboxes – Introducing Bastl 1999

video upload by Bastl Instruments

"Bastl Neo Trinity brought the groovebox-style, gestural modulation workflow into Eurorack. Now, 1999 bridges the worlds of Eurorack, grooveboxes, and DAWs, opening up new possibilities for hybrid setups that are easy to build and fun to explore. Let Eurorack do what it does best. Let your groovebox or DAW do what it does best. Bring them together seamlessly with 1999 and get the best of both worlds.

Bridge to a Seamless setup

1999 is a TRS and USB MIDI expander for the Neo Trinity modulation hub, turning it into a powerful piece of studio infrastructure and making it easy to integrate with external MIDI gear. The classic TRS MIDI IN and OUT bring MIDI connectivity to your modular setup, and the MIDI IN is optically isolated to help prevent USB ground-loop noise. The USB-C port switches between DEVICE and HOST modes, allowing you to connect a wide range of USB MIDI devices and even power hosted devices directly from your modular system.

Chain of Command
With the new 2.0 firmware, Neo Trinity becomes a versatile MIDI-to-CV and CV-to-MIDI interface: Record CV/GATE sequences directly from MIDI input or from external CV signals connected to channels E and F. Control Neo Trinity parameters via MIDI CC, send knob movements to your external gear, or turn CV/GATE pairs into MIDI note output.
You can also chain more than one Neo Trinity with 1999 to create an ultimate Eurorack control system.

A COMPLETE TRILOGY
1999 is the latest (and final, for now) addition to our Matrix-themed Eurorack Control trilogy, joining our previous release, Déjà Vu – Double Fader Agent.

Now you have a chance to get all three modules in different bundles at a better price! Just click on the pictures below to get the ultimate Eurorack Control setup."

"At its core, THYME+ features 8 preset buttons that store custom effect settings of its flexible processing chain. The presets can be played manually like an instrument or sequenced by the onboard sequencer. Therefore, not only are the presets interesting, but also the transitions between them!

THYME+ represents an updated and innovated version of the iconic THYME released in 2017. Alongside improved connectivity, a better audio codec, and a few firmware tweaks and refinements, the new version’s hardware is enhanced with a compact metal enclosure, larger knobs, and a sleeker faceplate."

Slow Morning Ambient Session | Bastl Micro Granny & Elektron Digitone

video upload by Hideo Nakasako

"A slow and gentle ambient session for the morning.

For this session, I combined the warm, slightly worn textures of the Bastl Micro Granny with the clean and delicate tones of the Elektron Digitone.

The sounds slowly blend into each other, with subtle movement and small changes unfolding over time.

Nothing too busy — just texture, space, and a few sounds melting together.

I like how simple combinations of hardware can create a quiet atmosphere without needing too much.

If you have a peaceful morning, I hope you can take a little time to listen. ☕️

Recorded as a live hardware session.

Gear:

Bastl Thyme+ Sound Demo (no talking): A digital tape machine!

video upload by Synth Codex

"In this video, I run a few different audio sources through the Thyme+ to show off its range: from subtle tape warmth and classic stereo delays to aggressive pitch modulation and rhythmic glitches. No talking, just raw audio directly from the unit.
The Bastl Thyme+ is a hardware audio processor built around a digital tape-delay engine with multiple reading heads and dedicated modulation sources named Robots that can automate almost every knob on the panel.

Blind Sample Challenge: 4 Random Samples on the Torso S-4 (Vol. 41)

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to Vol. 41 of my Torso S-4 explorations! In this video, I take on a blind 4-sample challenge: building a complete 4-track ambient soundscape from scratch using four randomly picked samples from the Bastl MicroGranny library. Because the files use non-descriptive, sequential labels, I had no idea what sounds I was getting until they hit the tracks.

With zero planning and no preparation, every decision is made on the spot. I work through each track sequentially, sculpting textures, grains, and filters to weave unrelated sounds into a cohesive sonic environment. Toward the end, I break down how to set up and perform with Macro modulations to bring dynamic motion across the entire patch.

The video is heavily annotated with on-screen notes detailing each step of the sound design workflow, modulation routing, and granular processing.

Mettalicum - XOR Logic Percussion Synth

video upload by Sid Rockett

"🔊 Exploring the Mettalicum: a new XOR-based percussion synthesizer built for harsh metallic hits, industrial rhythms, and unpredictable noise. Unlike traditional drum machines, the Mettalicum relies on logic gates to generate complex, inharmonic square-wave clusters that cut right through a mix. In this hardware demo, we run through the raw oscillators, tweak the parameters, and patch it into an experimental setup to hear what it can really do.

Huge thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video! Whether you are prototyping a chaotic new noise box, building a custom MIDI controller, or ordering high-quality circuit boards for a full production run, PCBWay has you covered. They offer incredibly fast turnaround times on custom PCBs, 3D printing, and CNC machining. Bring your DIY audio projects to life: https://pcbway.com/g/1AhZrq

Ⓜ️ What makes the Mettalicum different?
Traditional subtractive synthesis uses standard waveforms and filters to create drum sounds. The Mettalicum takes a different approach by running multiple square waves through XOR (Exclusive OR) logic chips. When these frequencies interact, they create dense, metallic, and grinding textures perfect for noise music, industrial beats, and lo-fi soundscapes.

Klik - Pushbutton Matrix for the Bastl Kastle Synthesizers

video upload by Sid Rockett

"💡Discover the Klik module. Add a playable 4x4 button matrix to your Kastle or Volca synth for ultimate hands-on control and experimental patching.

⏱️ Chapters:
0:08 – Intro
0:20 – Controls
0:40– Sound demo with Kastle 2 Wave Bard

🗒️ How does it work?

There are 8 patch points connected to 4 rows (ABCD) and 4 columns (1234) of buttons. Pressing button A1 connects point A to point 1. A2 connects A to 2. B2 connects B to 2 and so on.
It is best used by dedicating rows to outputs and columns to inputs. In this configuration every possible combination of buttons will connect outputs to inputs and cause a change in the behaviour of the synthesizer.

Additional Signal Sounds listings

"We say...
A pre-owned Bastl Instruments Kastle ARP in excellent condition. It comes with original packaging and accessories.

Manufacturer's description
Kastle ARP is a unique modular melody generator based on a quantized sine wave oscillator with a digital waveshaper.

The pitch selection employs straightforward concepts to unleash surprising intricacy. The quantized oscillator ensures it is always in tune, and its pitch can be selected using the NOTE and CHORD inputs. The decay envelope adds variation by occasionally skipping pitches before retriggering. The timbre control allows you to blend between noble sine waves and 8-bit chip-tunes.

Exploring the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser | Drone Sound Study

video upload by synthetic theory

"Yesterday was Drone Day and technically I'm one day late, because I didn't finish the post-processing in time. But anyway: this felt like the right moment to share something a little different.



I'm currently expanding my rack and learning how to operate a few new modules properly. One of them is the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser. At first, I honestly wasn't completely convinced. I tried it, struggled to find the right tones, packed it back into the box and was already planning to send it back.



But then I gave it one more evening.



Instead of judging it too quickly, I tried to understand how it actually works. I slowed down, explored the interaction between the oscillators, the modulation paths, the waveshaping, and the strange areas between tone and chaos. And then the potential suddenly became clear.



Some modules simply need more attention. They have a learning curve and they don't always reveal themselves immediately. But once you reach that point of understanding, they can turn out to be real powerhouses.



So this is not one of my usual performance videos. It's more of a slow exploration: a drone-focused sound study with the Mindphaser at the center, sometimes shaped by effects, filtering, gates, and modulation.
