A special edition of Bastl’s classic mini modular synth, the B Drum Kastle focuses on algorithmic industrial glitchy drums.
Drum sound synthesis with a unique dynamic acceleration charged envelope makes this rhythm box surprisingly versatile and extremely fun to play. The built-in VC clock generator with a stepped pattern sequencer can either run on its own or it can be synchronised to analogue clock, while retaining the triangle LFO for parameter modulation.
The Kastle Drum is a mini modular synthesiser with a headphone output, 2 in/out ports for interfacing other gear, and it runs on just 3 AA batteries. It is ideal for beginners in modular synthesis, but it will add some quite unique functionality to any modular synthesiser system. It delivers the fun of modular synthesis at a low price and fits into your pocket so you can play it anywhere!
