Bastl Instruments

Three-coordinate probabilistic pattern generator with independent traveling algorithms per coordinate, dedicated trigger outputs, and CV-controllable probability per coordinate.735

Capabilities 2

Probabilistic Pattern Generatorprobabilistic-pattern-generator
Probability is used to generate new looping patterns rather than filter a pre-determined sequence. Each coordinate knob sets probability amount; CV inputs modulate it externally.735
Trigger Sequencertrigger-sequencer
Three independent 32-step trigger sequencers (Longitude, Altitude, Latitude), each with its own traveling algorithm and dedicated trigger output, driven by a global clock input.735

Parameters 4

NameTypeRangeBehavior
AltitudeknobSets the amount of probability for the Altitude coordinate and generates a new 32-step pattern. Fully clockwise: all steps active. Fully counter-clockwise: no steps active. Altitude is always related to the other two coordinates.735
LatitudeknobSets the amount of probability for the Latitude coordinate and generates a new 32-step pattern. Fully clockwise: all steps active. Fully counter-clockwise: no steps active. Latitude is described as the most unpredictable route.735
LongitudeknobSets the amount of probability for the Longitude coordinate and generates a new 32-step pattern. Fully clockwise: all steps active. Fully counter-clockwise: no steps active. Knob position acts as offset when CV is applied. Longitude is described as the safest route.735
Trigger Lengthjumper2ms – 10msSelectable at boot by installing a jumper and holding one of the three coordinate knobs: Longitude=2ms, Altitude=5ms, Latitude=10ms. Default is 5ms.735
