Thanks very much for checking it out! I'm getting together some patches for the next video, hopefully some good demos. Agreed that the Arp has been pretty surprising!
I dismissed the Kastle line when I first saw them but now that I’ve gotten them, I am completely fascinated. Part of that fascination comes from these amazing videos. Thank you for taking the time to break down each element so thoughtfully. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. As someone struggling with the modular concepts of these Bastl synths, your clear and concise demonstration has put everything into context for me. Without your assistance I’d have been floundering always. Thank you again for your time and effort is very much appreciated. The final patch session with the Drum and NTS-1 is superb.
Thank you again for another great video! I had hoped you would do one with the Kastle ARP, and you’re doing a whole series!! I like the ARP, but find it somewhat limited compared to the other Kastles, so I’m really looking forward to your insight and sonic explorations
Thinking you would enjoy the Pluto synth by Modern Sounds, a mini modular with 2 voices and 2 sequencers (and a lot of clock divisions). I just ordered one 😊
Have you used the Korg Volca Modular? Same patching system, but it's more based on West Coast synthesis. Would be cool to see it cross-patched with all the Kastles into one mini modular Frankensynth 🙂
Hey, yes! In fact, I have a video called "Kastle Volca". I need to get the Volca Modular out for one of the next Kastle Arp videos. Thanks for the reminder! And thanks for checking out the channel🙏🏼!
@@undulations yes, I did a bit of rummaging around in your older videos and found it. Also the bit ranger one. I was going to mention that too but you're way ahead of me 😀
Thanks🙏🏼! I really enjoyed making the M:C videos. The D2 looks great, but probably a while before I buy one🤔. I guess I could sell my D1 and Digitone, but sort of attached to them. I saw that Cuckoo just put out a tutorial for it, bet that's packed with a lot of details👍🏻!
@@ShawnBrandon888 Yeah, it has a Clock In patchpoint that works like the Kastle Drum's. I've synced the Drum to Volcas, Pocket Operators, and other stuff. You can send the sync into the Arp's I/O port (aux) and then patch that to CLK IN. This basically hijacks the Pattern lfo's tempo, so the melody can sync to the xternal tempo. Then the other lfo's (pulse and triangle) get sort of "captured" if the two tempos are close. That said, a lot of it comes down to the actual sync signal details - voltage, timing, type - so it can take some experimentation, maybe changing sync settings on the external box.
reminds me very much of an old 'photo theramin' synth box thing (arp with a photocell and an led, modulating all). EXCEPT this one is way more listenable, versatile, and less annoying. Price tag? i bloop with it here, it was called 'thingamagoop' (lol, really) czcams.com/video/3FUi6vfIZP4/video.htmlsi=qmKppMb0OeYuT-zH
Wow, that is a super cool gadget😀! The responsiveness looks very nice. The Arp looks like it's currently going for $132👍🏻 I recall paying something like $140 but might just be misremembering. Thanks for checking out the video!
That bass / synth patch at 3:09 is a beast! Wasn't expecting that from this little box. Great video

always stoked to see a new undulations video come out
Many thanks🙏🏼!
Another great video. The last section in Boot Mode was icing on the cake so inspiring! Thanks Doc!
Been looking forward to the Arp video from ya. Of course i had to add the Arp to the Kastle/Kastle Drum/Microgranny family.
I hope you enjoy(ed) it! Thanks for taking a look🙏🏼!
@@undulations sure did. Like all your stuff, it'll be my video reference manual.
Thank you Sir; a very clear and concise demonstration which I found extremely helpful.

You should do a tutorial on digitakt 2 , like you did for MC.
Those tutorials were epic.
I'm not modular. I know your examples are amazing

Is it possible to sync the arp with a drum machine? Like roland tr06? Sync tempo?
@@ShawnBrandon888 Yeah, it has a Clock In patchpoint that works like the Kastle Drum's. I've synced the Drum to Volcas, Pocket Operators, and other stuff.

Thanks that's great, love the stark beautiful sounds
what do you think about roland synthesizer sh-4d?
