This video, via Andreas Schneider, captures a hands-on demo of the Bastl Instruments modular synthesizer.
Earlier this year, Czech synth maker Bastl Instruments visited SchneidersBuro for their Spiegelsalon, to introduce their new wood-faced Eurorack modules and to play a live set.
At this year’s Musikmesse, Bastl introduced a total of 10 new Euro modules;
- Knit Rider (16hp) – 6 voice trigger / gate sequencer, 230 eur
- GrandPA (5HP) – granular sampler, 173 eur
- Quattro Figaro (10hp) – quad vca + cv invertors + mixing, 164 eur
- Tea Kick (5hp) – more than just a bass drum, 90 eur
- Noise Square (5HP) – noise and square source, 90 eur
- Skis (5HP) – dual decay + vca, 90 eur
- Little Nerd (6HP) – trigger / gate processor, 123 eur
- Abc (5HP) – 6 channel mixer, 82 eur
- Spaghetti (4HP) – inverter, buffered multiple, unity mix, 82 eur
- MULTIPLE (2HP) – passive multiple, 25 eur
More information about the modules can be found on Bastl Instruments website.
Just fantastic. When you think you’ve heard every sound possible from a modular, here comes an original palette. The cure for what ails you, at a nice price, and beautiful to boot. (Danger: visit their website and lose your mind.) I wish them all the success!
Yeah, these guys are awesome and hilarious! I want this to be my first modular in due time.
I would love a modular system as well.
great lineup, just needs “matching” osc’s and midi interface – love the all wood plates!
The combination of electric power and wood is worrying me….it kind of reminds me of the time when powerful computers were equipped with water cooling systems. Nobody uses them anymore…
I don’t really understand what you’re getting at here? The wood is far less conductive than the aluminium panels you find on most eurosynths, so if you’re worried about electrocution wood is a good choice of material.
fire. hes getting at fire
there are laser cutters built from wood… it doesn’t get hot enough for any combustion…
My current gen powerful computer uses watercooling…
