Ahead of Superbooth 2025, scheduled for May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Bastl Instruments has introduced Kastle 2 Wave Bard, an experimental patchable sample player.
Features:
- Samples are organized in banks, which can be selected and sequenced using knobs or CVs from the built-in Pattern generator and LFO.
- Reverse your sounds with the LENGTH knob and the Wave Bard’s unique reversing envelope.
- Play melodic samples in quantized scales, and spice up the sound with built-in filter, delay or chorus/flanger effects.
- You can load not only your own samples, but also rhythms and scales with the web-based app
Here’s the freaky intro video:
Kastle 2 Wave Bard is the second firmware for the Kastle 2 platform, which already hosts the FX Wizard effects processor. The firmware is cross-compatible between both devices. That means the Wave Bard can be loaded onto the FX Wizard and vice versa.
Pricing and Availability:
The Kastle 2 Wave Bard is available now for 160 € ex. VAT (approx. 190 € with VAT).

Why are there crows wearing turbans?
heckle and jeckle.
AH yes! Just what I like:) The tiniest synths for my presbyopic eyes. I feel the knobs are a little too big. I need them smaller. Big sounds from tiny instruments are what all real musicians look for in 2025.
