Starting us off at Noise Kitchen Synth Fest, The Tuesday Night Machines, gives an excellent 5 minute demo of what’s possible with the new Bastl Instruments bitRanger modular and standalone synthesizer.
This is an excellent video and well worth watching if you’re interested in Bastl’s bitRanger.
Our friends at Synth Anatomy shot this 3 minute overview video showing what was on display in Brno at Synth Kitchen. You’ll spot the Soulsby, plenty of synth modules and of course a few Bastl Instruments bitRangers in action.
FEATURES
- LFO clock oscillator for rhytmical modulation
- VCO oscillator is synced to the HFO oscillator
- 4 modes of operation selectable by 2 switches
- built in speaker with volume control
- 9V DC center positive power supply input
- 9V battery compartment from the bottom
- On /Off switch
