Bastle Instruments have made a name for themselves with their esoteric creations like the Trinity series of lego-like synths and sequencers, and their MicroGranny 2 monophonic granular sampler. Their latest endeavour, however, is the launch of 10 brand new Eurorack synth modules.
These modules are designed to be compact and to complement each other so they can form unique and self-contained modular musical instrument. Bastl have given a lot attention to the look of the modules which come with printed oak front panels, custom handmade knobs and graphic layout by Anymade studio. All the modules are produced and handmade in Brno, Czech republic.
Full systems should be available later this year. What's more, because the modules are made entirely with through-hole components, the company intend to introduce most of them as DIY kits later this year.
