WATCH PARTY JOIN US - DO IT NOW! (get to the chopper!) // BASTL PIZZA (Patreon)

Hello I hope you're good and having a great weekend! 

At 8pm UK BST time today you can (and should) join us to check out Pizza from BASTL. I'm sure a few of the BASTL crew will be present for questions in the chat and I will be too. Clicking on the video link will show you the start time in your location but as a heads up it's 9pm central Europe, 12pm midday west coast USA and 3pm east coast USA. 

So here's Pizza! I don't have a huge amount to say beyond the video details copied below and what's in the video. What I will say is that it's FANTASTIC. I got up to speed with the module with no manual just pressing a few buttons to see what happens. The panel guides the less obvious features and it's packed full of such varied sounds I'm really impressed.

MODULE / CASE RUN DOWN // I've started to put together Modular Grid set ups for each case set up when I make a demo. I'm adding to those a text run down of all the modules so if you're curious of my thoughts and experiences with the modules you can get some insight there too. The case and modules for this video can be found HERE.

PATREON EXCLUSIVE // Extended Pizza  Drum Kit // I'll post this tomorrow, as I can't post this post to everyone and also restrict the $5+ tier exclusives, so watch out for the post tomorrow.

All the best for now and watch out for another new release this coming week and a video on that thing coming from me later in the week too. See ya!

VIDEO DETAILS 

Here we have PIZZA! Everyone loves PIZZA right? Is pineapple on PIZZA fine? Leave a comment and let the flame wars begin! Joking aside this is PIZZA from BASTL Instruments a hybrid FM and waveshaping oscillator that packs in a lot of interesting sonic options and lots of clever CV assignment for working with the module as an advanced oscillator or even a full synthesis voice.  

As always this demo is about pushing this with musical and creative ideas to advance our patches and exploring synthesis. Try out these patches with your gear and leave a comment letting me know how you get on.

Part of this video was filmed while full of a cold/flu bug. Filmed as the fever subsided but still with a viral party in my mouth, so apologies for the weird (weirder than usual) accent in places.
