Next we NEED a ”Kastle BBD”! A Kastle format device based on bucket brigade chips to act as a quirky delay/chorus/wtf/etc. effector with a personality! Maybe boosted with a pt2399 based delay/reverb 😊 or perhaps even a ”Kastle 2399”!
That’s an incredible little synth! Arps are so dang fun to play with and love how you brought it to such a small form factor that’s still very hands on!
just ordered mine. so let's see, kastle, kastle drum, kastle arp, og softpop, and bitranger. that is five outputs, and the dude has 5 inputs....... PERFECT!
Love it! Will the firmware be open-source like with the Kastle and Kastle drum? It would be kinda cool to flash my existing Kastle to a Kastle Arp as a sort-of "trial" to decide if I want to buy one!
Hi, great work! is it possible to flash firmware of drum with the new one. Is it only VCO part that needs to be flashed? Thank you - EDIT - nevermind, i can see in the manual,that lfo is same as drum
So I went ahead and checked the manual if I was right, but in the video's and in the manual there's only talk about major chords and there's only the ability to play any variety of a 1-4-5 progression. Are there any plans to make it able to play e.g. minor chords or diminished chords?
You can use relative minor. So lets say you want to compose in Gmin. Set the ARP to Bbmaj. It will play the Bb/Eb/F which are all in Gminor as the b3/b6 and b7.
Yeah but as 1-4-5 are all major, the relative minor workaround, although producing notes that fit the minor scale, would not let you play any minor chord (triad) either. Without an additional root note e.g. external bass, you'd still be stuck in major-chord-town. Deal-breaker for now. Let's hope for an update.
@@marcbangert Thats right I forgot it only does 1-4-5. Obviously still can work but is a bit limited there unless you want that melancholy major triad over minor chord vibe. I suspect Bastle can make some tweaks to that possibly.
Just got mine in the mail! Thank you! I love the Kastle series got all three now. Is there any plans for a fourth? No one else is making anything like the stuff you all make.
🙄Too bad we can't set the triad with any notes, like a minor chord of course or a sus2, m7 etc... it would be much easier and useful to have the K ARP in a song with key changes. Maybe with a future firmware update???? 😇
@@bastlinstruments I did. They weren’t sure. I think they’re waiting on you. I could cancel and buy from you, but there is something to be said of buying from official distributors. You guys deserve to succeed, and I’ve got so many friends who did music then went broke, I’d like the whole world of weirdos to know what freaky stuff you guys are putting out. Also, my Zoom CDR (chorus, delay reverb) pedal is the secret sauce. I put ‘em both thru guitar amps, stereos, headphone amps… with a decent multi band parametric EQ - the possibilities are endless. Anyways, congrats on 10 years. I’ve bought at least 6 of your units. Big fan.
It is so absurdly funny that you make such genius off-mainstream visionary sonic gear for such a progressive target customer group (modular scene, sonic arts, noise) and under the hood of the arp we find major 1-4-5 the three MOST MAINSTREAM GARDEN VARIETY HARMONIES OF THE 17th to 19th CENTURY.
Hello Sub! The chords with static voltage are always major triads (CEG). But once you modulate the chord input it gets multimodal and based on the modulation it can be minor feeling too.
Does it do CV out? Would be very very useful for Synths with no ARP, and the EuroRackers would love it! Would be good if there was a device like this that could trigger a 303, with slides & accents, such a device would do well I think. It would require the ability to change the note length and velocity to trigger different machines. Come to think of it I would love to see a little Bastle Acid Machine!
haha....could also be the other way around. i did use the td-3 sequencer to trigger the kastl drum the other day... quite fun if u tap the randomize function of the sequencer.
useless synth .. with midi software you can do it better and less complicate to handle with external controller......the other kastl product are dope ... this one suck

Honestly, great idea! For people who need effectors for POs, Volca's and other stuff this would be amazing.
@@tux7k a korg kaoss pad mini (2s) or a simple multieffekt guitarpedal like in the video does the job quite good.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaas 💯💯💯
Just ordered mine. So looking forward to using it along with the Kastle and Kastle Drum. Thank you Bastl; keep on doing what you’re doing. 😃❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!
That’s an incredible little synth! Arps are so dang fun to play with and love how you brought it to such a small form factor that’s still very hands on!
very nice! is there a way to select or pin it to a certain scale?
answered my own question, wasnt at the end of the video yet hah!

It sounds so good 💚 I really look forward to patch it with other tiny synths!
can't wait for a video of it playing nice with it's siblings
It is in the works
Did you release it? 👀@@bastlinstruments
That is so cool! Please make a Module version of this! Just for the ARP no need for an oscillator! It would be amazing!
you guys make the coolest gear
And our fans are making the coolest music
@@bastlinstruments some of us just make cool noise

this looks great. are you able to change the key ?
you change the root note in a boot mode
I think he means the musical mode (e.g. minor instead of major) not the root note.
Just purchased one and a Kastl...genius out of the Czech 🇨🇿
in boot mode can you modo also in minor or only maj?

@@marcbangert this is my point exactly and also a dealbreaker for me at the moment.

@@marcbangert good to know.. thanx..
Can this device be tempo-synced with the Microgranny Monolith? Maybe via MIDI or CV? I don't think they have compatible connectivity. Just wondering.
So excited!! As with the drum, I went ahead and ordered and then found the video to see how it works
Nice! Thank you for your support!
Lovely little machine. Immediately ordered it, naturally 😂. Love to play it ❤
Yay! I love your videos, Václav!
Just got mine in the mail! Thank you! I love the Kastle series got all three now. Is there any plans for a fourth? No one else is making anything like the stuff you all make.
Mine is ordered! Can't wait to add it to my kastle gang!
Thank you so much for the support
thanks for making rad and mind bending music making machines! @@bastlinstruments
for when bitranger again :( @@bastlinstruments
Truly beautiful and fun. ❤
but can it Krell?
Are you able to change the musical mode (e.g. minor?)
You can tune it in boot mode as we demonstrated in the video
@@bastlinstruments Was wondering the same - I did see that it's possible to change the root note, but is it always still just major triads?
This looks like so much fun
Ok I’m going to have to get one.
🙄Too bad we can't set the triad with any notes, like a minor chord of course or a sus2, m7 etc... it would be much easier and useful to have the K ARP in a song with key changes.

I back ordered this from Perfect Circuit. Any idea when they'll ship out?
Contact perfect Circuit about the availability

Looking at those patch cables, could you cross patch with Volca modular?
It should be somewhat working but the voltages ale different
I cannot synchronize my slave ARP in CV (with a master Volca). How should I plug it please?
You have to send clock (basically any pulse, you can use also and lfo) to the clock input in the arp
Awesome!

It was made to make happy music because world needs it righ now
Q: for minor key, are you just using ‘relative minor’? (C maj / A min?)
Hello Sub!
The chords with static voltage are always major triads (CEG). But once you modulate the chord input it gets multimodal and based on the modulation it can be minor feeling too.
Can u gujs help me fix my microgranny, cant find nowere information about microgranny problems that i have.....
please contact our supoport at help(at)bastl-instruments.com
Interesting ❤️
Hi,
Is it just the ARP sound or is there reverb and/or delay added ?
Thank you.
There is reverb/delay coming from the Zoom pedal to the left.
Does it do CV out? Would be very very useful for Synths with no ARP, and the EuroRackers would love it!

You can send out lfos but not the v/Oct. Kastle Arp will respond to voltages from 0 to 5V
haha....could also be the other way around.
i did use the td-3 sequencer to trigger the kastl drum the other day...
quite fun if u tap the randomize function of the sequencer.
would this and the drum be better for first ones or drum and kastle 1.5 synth ?
1.5 Imo
I would say yes. because it’s more into what we are used to in music.
but the real addition of the 1.5 is the different sounds you can get out of it
ty@@johntax9400
Can we get it in a tangeble waves module
Kastle is opensource so it is up to co unity
Looks like my softpop 2 is getting a baby brother😂
Does it send CV out of the I/O?
If you plug something into the i/o pins, yes.
daaaaamn u did it again hahaha
Nice! Give us a Kastle Delay!
useless synth .. with midi software you can do it better and less complicate to handle with external controller......the other kastl product are dope ... this one suck
This is about exploration.of course you can do better and less complicated.
beautiful new member of the Kastle family :)
