The Kastle Drum is a special edition of Bastl’s classic mini 
modular synth focusing on algorithmic industrial glitchy 
drums.

How do you generate rhythm on a patchable drum machine 
that has neither buttons, nor a programmable sequencer? 
You discover it! 

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 synchronized to analog clock, while 
retaining the triangle LFO for parameter modulation.

The Kastle Drum is a  mini modular synthesizer 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 synthesizer system. 
It delivers the fun of modular synthesis at a low price and 
fits into your pocket so you can play it anywhere!
