Bastl Kastle 2 Alchemist 是一台可隨身攜帶的 patchable hybrid-synthesis 類比/數位混合式音樂器,延伸自知名的 Kastle 系列,但加入更完整的旋律演化邏輯、可程式化節奏、USB MIDI 傳送與接收、擴充過的合成器引擎,以及雙效果處理架構。雖然是單音架構,它的控制訊號互動與可編程旋律生成方式,使使用者能在非傳統的步進模式中創造出 自然生成的旋律、和聲與質感變化。
Alchemist 具備五種經過調校的合成模式——Filter、FM、Hypersine、Supersaw 與 Glitchnoise——可透過 TIMBRE 與 RATIO 的組合獲得豐富的音色範圍。ENV 巨集旋鈕會同時影響合成核心與序列引擎,讓聲音在瞬態到 Sustain 之間滑順轉換,也能切換成 Drone 模式。加上可掃描模式的 MODE CV,使音色在模組化 Patch 的互動中能產生連續變化。
Alchemist 內含雙效果處理:左聲道為延遲,右聲道為合唱/銼波器(Flanger)/失真/梳狀濾波宏控制,各模式都經過客製化調校,使不同合成模式能呈現更立體的質地。內建 Pitch Slide 允許從彈性的 Pitch Envelope 到延音滑音(Portamento),營造橡膠般的音高滑移質感。
在操作層面,Kastle 2 Alchemist 擁有功能強大的 CV 與 Gate 節奏生成器,並可讓所有主參數進行調變。LFO 可同步、可 Reset、可反相再調整。Tempo 產生器具備 Tap Tempo、分頻與外部時鐘輸入。Gate 與 Pattern 生成器能由網頁介面(Web App)自訂 Patten、Scale 與節奏行為,使使用者能跨越傳統固定音階的侷限。
Alchemist 除了生成自身的旋律,也能作為 USB MIDI 控制器與音序器:可將 USB MIDI Note、CC、Clock 傳送給 DAW 或其他 USB MIDI 裝置,同時也能接收 USB MIDI 來控制本機。這是 Kastle 系列首次擁有完整雙向 USB MIDI。
在連接性方面,機身內建 類比 Sync In/Out、立體聲輸入(最高可達 6Vpp)、立體聲輸出可推 250 歐姆耳機,並能將外部訊號混入輸出或經由內建效果處理。它可使用 3 顆 AA 電池 或 USB-C 供電,長時間攜帶 Jam 也不是問題。
Kastle 2 Alchemist 的核心設計理念是:
「不要寫旋律,而是讓旋律從你建立的互動行為中自然生成。」
透過精心調校的控制架構與開放的 Patch 介面,它既能作為樂器、聲音玩具、隨身音色盒,也同時是模組化系統的外出夥伴、 DAW 的 MIDI 控制器,以及實驗聲音設計工具。
