Bastl Introduces Kastle 2 FX Wizard

Kastle 2 FX Wizard 🎧 Best with headphones video upload by Bastl Instruments

"We’re blissed to announce the Kastle 2 FX Wizard—a portable, patchable multi-effects processor and the newest addition to our pocketable, battery-powered mini-modular Kastle family.

Kastle 2 builds on the success of our accessible and affordable mini-modular format, which began with the Bitranger in 2016, followed by the Kastle Synth later that year, and expanded with Kastle 1.5 (2017), Kastle Drum (2020), and Kastle Arp (2023).

Kastle 2 is a completely redesigned model that offers enhanced connectivity and significantly improved audio quality with a new stereo architecture.

Kastle 2 FX Wizard focuses on processing sounds—texturizing or completely transforming them in a fun and unique way through its mini patch bay. With stereo input and output, along with sync input and output, it integrates smoothly with other gear, becoming a powerful, semi-autonomous co-creator. Power options include 3x AA batteries or USB-C."

"The Kastle 2 FX Wizard is available now for 160 € ex. VAT (approx. 190 € with VAT) and shipping at the end of November 2024"

Bastl Kastle Arp #23 (with Kastle DRUM and tonic)

video upload by alloutofsync

"I created a rhythm pattern with tonic that evokes a sense of ancient times. On top of that, I intentionally added inorganic noise percussion from DRUM and a melody from ARP. The performance itself is improvised. In post-production, I added reverb and delay.

Generative CLOSE ENCOUNTERS road trip with norns “pixels”, Wingie MKii, Bastl Kastle Drum & TX-6

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Devils Tower is on the horizon. Pixel static notes and MIDI data. The Kastle excites the Wingie.

Alien welcome melodies played backwards and forwards, but probably never in the right order. Only 1970s practical effects here. Or is it all just CG?"

Bastl Drum Kastle - Eurorack version(s)

video upload by John Schussler

"Bastl created the Drum Kastle as an offshoot of the Kastle portable sound maker. It's now available in Eurorack by a couple makers who've adapted it for the 3U format, with appropriate cv controls.

I was curious to see if there was much sound difference between the two, given they're working from the same basic circuit design. There are a few differences, but do they radically change the experience? Inquiring minds want to know.

No other modules involved. Just Kastles.

Tried to create a more easy to listen to vibe for work."

Rhythmic Pulses w/ Mengqi Wingie MKii + Bastl Kastle Drum & Phantasmal Force

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Another exploratory resonant jam sendingbthe @bastlinstruments Kastle into the @mengqimusic Wingie MKii. Everything sounds good through the Wingie. Chords for the left and right resonant filters are once again being sent from the Phantasmal Force controller I’m finishing up. I just realized the chords offset wasn’t saving to presets on the Phantasmal Force. Fixed it but there is still more to double check."

Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller + kasser arcade + bastl kastle drum + 1010 Bluebox

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller triggering chords on the kasser arcade FM synth with the little kastle spitting out drum noise. The Phantasmal Force sent the MIDI program change message to load a custom sound off of the SD card in the arcade before I started the video. Pretty helpful and simple way to send PC messages.


Program changes light up red on the Phantasmal Force. Notes are blue, CCs yellow and transport messages are green.

Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller + Bastl Kastle Drum & 1010music lemondrop bells in locomotion

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller with the @1010_music lemondrop and the @bastlinstruments Kastl drum. The Kastl kicks it off with a little loop (just started learning this little guy). The Phantasmal Force is sending chords to the lemondrop. The chords were generated randomly by the Phantasmal Force and I’m just noodling around with them. In chord mode, the knob raises or lowers the chord on the button up to one octave. Each button can send a different three note chord. The notes of the chord are adjustable, so you can make your own chords. Still working on tuning the randomness of the chords to sound more musical … #diy #synth #midicontroller #granularsynthesis #tinysynth #tinystudio #jamuary2023"
