KASTLE_BACK.jpg 1/3 key features Please check out the Bastl Desktop Synths for further details and consider buying one - it´s worth it! Use with Bastl Kastle or Drum Kastle Firmware Illuminated EuroKastle Logo Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 28 mm power: 47 mA @ +12V documentation videos description / manual Switching between OSC mode and Rungler mode has been streamlined with a convenient switch, eliminating the need for intricate cable patching. Furthermore, each functionality is consolidated to a single input/output, simplifying your setup. Notably, our EuroKastle boasts a unique Waveshape CV attenuator absent in the original Kastle design. While we highly recommend Bastl's desktop version, the EuroKastle can stand independently. You can independently source all the required components, without necessarily needing the original. It's important to note that the PCB lacks an AVR ISP header. To program the Attiny85 ICs, a prior flashing process is essential before they find their place in the IC sockets (a breadboard can be utilized for this purpose). The programming process can be completed using any AVR ISP programmer. Powering the EuroKastle is a breeze with compatibility with standard Eurorack power supply units. Version V2 introduces AVR Headers to the PCB's bottom for direct ATTiny programming on the PCB itself. The diode pads have been thoughtfully enlarged for an enhanced soldering experience. Additionally, the CV Sources are normalized to the CV Input switches, facilitating instant modulation without the need for external patching. In Version V3, we've incorporated a jumper that allows you to transform the Mix OR OUT socket into a TRIGGER INPUT for the Drum Kastle firmware, enhancing your creative possibilities.

Modulation & Random zeitreise / sample & hold, slew limiter and meandering cv generator / 6 HP ⇣ ZEITREISE is about the slow sequence of events that helps to take voltage on a journey through time. Its your perfect tool for creating slow and unpredictable parameter changes via control voltage. 1/2 key features Clock Generator Sample & Hold Slew Limiter 3x Slowly Meandering CV Noise Generator Internal Normalizations Skiff Friendly Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 6 HP depth: 30 mm power: 60 mA @ +12V / 45 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual ZEITREISE is the German term for "time travel" and the time in this context is a clock signal that is set using the S&C CLK potentiometer on the top of the module. It´s rate can be as slow as 0.2 Hz ( approximately 12 bpm) and as fast as 21 Hz (approximately 1,236 bpm). This clock signal is sent to the internal Sample & Hold (S&H) circuit. A S&H circuit in modular synthesizers captures and holds voltage samples at specific intervals, usually triggered by an external clock, creating a stepped output that is useful for generating random or sequenced voltages for modulation. With ZEITREISE, any voltage applied to the S&H CV input is sampled, held and output to the S&H OUT socket with each clock pulse received, either externally via the S&H CLK input or, if this input is not patched, via the internal clock generator. You can reduce the voltage applied to the S&H CV input with the corresponding attenuator. The S&H output is forwarded to a slew limiter. A slew limiter smoothes or limits abrupt voltage changes and ensures controlled slew rates of the input signals, resulting in smoother transitions and curved waveforms for modulation and sound shaping. The amount of slew rate that attenuates the voltage changes can be increased by turning the SLEW IN potentiometer to the right. You can also feed external CVs, such as pitch voltages, into ZEITREISE via the SLEW IN socket. This allows you to create a portamento effect for tonal sequences. Below the S&H and slew limiter you will find three meandering CV outputs REISE EINS, REISE ZWEI and REISE DREI that slowly change their voltage levels (+0V to +8V). The voltages come from different stages within the same circuit. Take these voltages from the REISE outputs and reduce their voltage levels with the appropriate attenuators. Please note that the LEDS display the voltage levels before the attenuators to provide better feedback on the status of each REISE output. These voltages are great for slowly controlling external parameters such as sample playback points in samplers, filter cutoff frequencies or timbre and harmonics in oscillators. There is an additional output at the bottom, which supplies either the clock from the S&H CLK input (patched or normalized) or white noise. You can select one of these outputs using a jumper on the back of the module. ZEITREISE QUICK START GUIDE: ZEITREISE_QUICK_START .pdf Download PDF • 566KB prev Up next

Utilities & PSU pedal pal / efx pedal audio bridge & expression pedal module / 4 HP ⇣ Pedal Pal is your way to use guitar effect pedal s with the Eurorack Modular System. 1/3 key features Mono Send with Attenuation Stereo Return with Gain for each Channel Output Gain of max. +20 dB Expression Pedal Control (CV or Manually) Voltage limited to 3V or 5V adjustbale via Jumper Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 28 mm power: 25 mA @ +12V / 21 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual PEDAL PAL features a mono send with pedal attenuation and a stereo return with individual channel gain adjustment from the pedal. You can fine-tune attenuation and gain through trimmers located on the module's back. Furthermore, it doubles as a CV expression pedal using a TRS cable. You have the option to manually manipulate your effect pedal's parameters by plugging into its Expression In jack, akin to using an expression foot pedal. Alternatively, you can employ any CV source (like an LFO or Envelope) to automate effect adjustments. When external CV is applied, the potentiometer functions as an attenuator. The CV delivered to the pedal's expression in jack can be constrained to either 3V or 5V, adjustable via a jumper on the rear. It's important to note that CV control over effect parameters will only function if your pedal includes an expression pedal TRS input. To establish connectivity between the module and your stereo effect pedal, three 6.3/3.5 mm adapter cables and a 6.3 mm TRS cable will be required. prev Up next

Meet the Swiss Army knife's ambitious cousin – the multitasking marvel that sits in front of your Eurorack, ready to unscrew musical conundrums, slice through soundscapes, and twea-zor its way into your sonic heart. workbench / usb powered multi utility tool / 0 HP ⇣ Meet the Swiss Army knife's ambitious cousin – the multitasking marvel that sits in front of your Eurorack, ready to unscrew musical conundrums, slice through soundscapes, and twea-zor its way into your sonic heart. key features Multiple LFO Attenuator documents Fader Swap USB-Power description / manual Multiple 1 to 3 multiple with one inverted output. The multiple is normalised to the swap unit of the module. LFO The LFO provides a triangle and square wave and can be reset by an external gate or clock signal. The LFO signal can be attenuated with the slider pot and its rate may be varied with the RATE potentiometer. An inverted copy of the triangle wave is normalised to channel A1. An inverted copy of the square wave is normalised to channel B1. These connections are independent from the LFO attenuator and may be interrupted by patching a cable into the channel A1 or B1 input or by the normalisation selection switches. You can choose to normalise the LFO or a fixed voltage of 0V to +5V adjustable with the VOLTAGE knob for all channels at once. Attenuator/Mixer WORKBENCH has four channels A1, A2 and B1 and B2. Any signal (audio or CV) patched into the inputs are attenuated by the slider pots. The channels of each section are daisy-chained, thus they can be mixed or the second channel can act as an offset (CV). The normalisation switch selects which voltage will be fed into the input if no cable is being patched (LFO or fixed voltage 0V to +5V). Fader The Fader mixes between two sources with a single slider. Both channel sections A and B are mixed into a fader circuit, if no cable is inserted into their outputs and the fader inputs. The fader output can be attenuated with the LVL knob. Swap The Swap unit exchanges the destination of one or two sources with the push of a button. This way you can route two signals to the corresponding destination of the other input. Anything patched into the Mult will also be multiplied to the Swap inputs of nothing is patched here. USB Power WORKBENCH is powered by standard USB power (+5V) and is fully compatible with your Eurorack system. You can choose to power it with a Mini B, Micro B or Type C USB cable. You can solder all USB connect or just one of them, if you have a favourite USB cable you want to use. Up

IN A is a standard audio input whereas IN B is a high pass filtered input. Frequencies below 320hz will be filtered out which is quite handy for some delay settings. If the MAN/LFO switch is on the left you can switch between both inputs manually using the A/B MAN switch. If the MAN/LFO switch is in the right position an internal square wave LFO automatically switches between both inputs according to the LFO range set with the help of the LFO potentiometer. Alternatively you may patch an external gate signal (from a sequencer for example) into GATE A/B in order to switch between inputs. The Delay itself is a classic PT2399 delay with its very special touch and a delay time ranging from 30-190mS. It has manual controls for the Delay Rate (going beyond the ICs operation range), Feedback and Wet. The delay rate can be voltage controlled with an external signal or with the help of an internal LFO. You can choose between a triangle and a square wave LFO and you may attenuate its signal with the LFO ATT attenuator. On top the LFO is resettable via the LFO RST input in order to get delay changes in a rythmical manner. The LFO rate can be adjusted with the LFO potentiometer. prev Up next

Utilities & PSU cv expert / dual polarizer, offset & gain with LFO / 4 HP ⇣ CV EXPERT is a very compact yet powerful CV tool that is equipped with all the important functions you need to customise your control voltages. With its internal LFO, it is immediately ready for use without further patching. 1/3 key features 2x Polarizer 2x Offset 2x Gain Triangle or Square Wave LFO Internal normalizations Low HP format Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 4 HP depth: 30 mm power: 50 mA @ +12V / 32 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual CV Expert (Cve) is a versatile dual-channel tool for customizing control voltages. Its internal LFO is normalised to both inputs and allows you to choose between a triangle or square wave via a jumper on the back. The LFO connection is automatically interrupted when an external CV is inserted. Adjust the LFO rate with the LFO RATE potentiometer. The signal received at the DC-coupled inputs IN ① and IN ② passes through three CV tools: Polarizer The PLRZR potentiometer enables voltage attenuation and inversion. At the midpoint, the signal is eliminated. Turning to the right allows the original voltage to pass through (as with an attenuator). Turning to the left inverts the signal, e.g. positive signals are converted into negative signals. Offset Adds or subtracts voltage from/to the passing signal. OFFSET control determines the offset range. In the center position, there is no voltage offset. Turning the control to the right shifts the voltage to the positive range, while turning it to the left shifts it to the negative range. Gain Amplifies the signal with a maximum gain of 2 at the GAIN control's maximum position, effectively doubling the applied voltage (e.g., +1V becomes +2V, +3V becomes +6V, or +4V becomes +8V). The voltage is capped at a maximum of +/-10V. CV EXPERT QUICK START GUIDE: CVE_QUICK_START .pdf Download PDF • 422KB prev Up next
