BASTL Instruments CITADEL Wave Bard 是一款專為 Eurorack 系統打造的實驗系、雙聲道 Sample Player(取樣播放器)。它將原本 Kastle 2 的概念升級到模組化架構,提供完整的 3.5mm Patch Bay、Pattern 產生器、Tempo 工具、TRS MIDI、USB MIDI,以及可深度調製的取樣引擎。Wave Bard 的設計核心,是讓節奏「自然生成」——不是由使用者硬做出來,而是透過調變、Pattern、LFO、反轉切換與即時取樣選取,讓節奏在 Patch 過程中自動浮現。
Wave Bard 內建由 Oliver Torr 製作的工廠 Sample Banks,可立即拿來創作,也能透過網頁 App 上傳自己的 Samples、Rhythms 與 Scales。每個 Sample Bank 內含 8 個 Sample(可用編輯器調整 3〜32 個),並可被 CV、Gate、Pattern Generator、或內建 LFO 精準選取與序列化。Wave Bard 能在 44kHz/16-bit 下進行立體聲音訊處理,最高提供 89 秒單聲道(或 44 秒立體聲)的取樣空間,也可透過降低取樣率獲得更長時值。
Wave Bard 的 Pitch 引擎可用 ±2 Octaves(總共 4 Octaves)進行調音,並具備兩種 Pitch 調變輸入:
這讓 Wave Bard 不僅是節奏工具,也能變成一部旋律樂器,能演奏量化旋律、切片 Sample、或利用 CV 隨機演化音高。
取樣播放的核心在於 LENGTH 反轉/Envelope 功能:旋鈕往右是 Decay;往左則反轉 Sample,並加入 Attack,使 Sample 不會被 retrigger。這個創意設計能讓每個 Trigger 播放的音色持續變動,成為節奏與聲音設計的主要來源。
內建效果包含 Delay 與 Chorus/Flanger,並搭配 Resonant Filter(Lowpass / Highpass)。Wave Bard 也具備完整的 Stereo DC-coupled Input/Output,可將外部聲音送進去處理效果,或將其混到模組輸出。
模組後方的 USB-C 不僅能更新韌體,更能作為 USB MIDI In/Out,將 Wave Bard 變成 DAW 內的 MIDI 控制器或 Sequencer,讓 Eurorack 能反向控制電腦與 USB MIDI 裝置。前面板同時提供 TRS MIDI 輸入,能接收 Clock、Notes、CC 以及 Pitch Bend。
CITADEL 系列的一大特色是雙面可翻轉面板,Wave Bard 與 FX Wizard 兩種面板可隨時切換,並且支援跨 Citadel/Kastle 2 的各種現有與未來 Firmware。
