BASTL WAVE BARD : B-STOCK

The Kastle 2 Wave Bard is an experimental, patchable stereo sample player that empowers you to discover new rhythms and riffs through modulation and modularity. 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 FEATURES ▪ 8 samples per bank (adjustable from 3 to 32 samples in the editor) ▪ 6 factory-loaded banks (up to 32 banks in the editor) ▪ user samples can be loaded via web-based app ▪ 89 seconds sample limit (mono), 44s (stereo) at 44kHz, or combination ▪ even more sample time available at lower sample rates ▪ stereo audio processing at 44kHz/16-bits PITCH knob with range of ± 2 octaves (4 octaves total): PITCH MOD attenuverter knob for modulating pitch NOTE input: quantized pitch with selectable scales (updates on trigger) FREE input: continuous, unquantized pitch modulation user-defined scales via web-based app BANK+PITCH MOD to change quantizer scale BANK+SAMPLE MOD for root note adjustment BANK+LFO MOD for fine tuning BANK+PITCH to change and preview octave SAMPLE knob to select 1 of 8 (up to 32) samples: hit the SHIFT button to trigger the selected sample TRIGGER input to trigger sample playback SAMPLE MOD input with attenuation and two modes: PLAY: CV modulation directly trigger samples CUE: CV aims at samples and playback waits for a trigger BANK input with attenuation to change sample banks using CV LENGTH envelope knob: turn right to adjust decay turn left to reverse samples and add attack during attack, samples don't retrigger LENGTH MOD input with attenuverter LENGTH MOD updates only at trigger patchable ENV output of the envelope ▪ stereo delay or chorus/flanger FX ▪ resonant FILTER with Lowpass/Highpass modes ▪ LFO with triangle and pulse output, reset input, attenuverting modulation, synced or free ▪ Tempo generator with tap tempo, divider, and external clock input ▪ Pattern generator (tempo synced) with GATE and CV output, patch-programmable ▪ GATE generator contains RHYTHM patterns user-programmable via web-based app ▪ stereo input with input gain (up to +12db), accepts up to 6 Vpp signal ▪ input can be mixed at the output or run thru the built in effects ▪ stereo output capable of driving headphones up to 250 Ohm ▪ analog sync input ▪ analog sync output ▪ modular I/O connections via right channel of the sync jacks TECHNICAL DETAILS USB-C (firmware updates, sample upload, power) 3x AA battery power (both rechargeable and non) Power consumption approx. 100-150 mA, should last up to 15-18 hours on 3x AA batteries.
