Get a better look: bastl-instruments.com/eurorack/modules/aikido
Aikido: the Japanese martial art of nonviolent self-defense, of redirecting your opponent’s momentum and using it against them, and mixing VCA signals for creative and nuanced performance with Eurorack modular synths.
Bastl Instruments have been hard at work in the dojo with our favorite sparring partner, Casper Electronics, and now emerge with a new Eurorack module demonstrating our newly developed techniques in the ancient art of the Voltage-Controlled Amplifier: Aikido is a 4-channel performative VCA mixer with flexible submix routing and two styles of integrated envelope followers — and, natural element, a whole heap more…
The Way of the Single Palm
Neatly compact, Aikido is a perfect tool for single-hand operation: independently mute each channel using stealthy, clickless mutes, and flex your sound using a single finger to control crossfader action, smoothly adjusting signal input strengths up to +6dB volume gain.
A holistic discipline, students of Bastl Aikido will develop their mix prowess by mastering the pulse of CV, via premium attenuverters on the CV input channels; stealthily adjust the strength of the CV's parameter automation in true (positive) or inverted (negative) directions, allowing for deceptively simple or richly complex variations in sound, controlling all by a gentle twist of the wrist.
Dynamic Style: the Art of Compression
Grappling with both audio and VCA signals is simple even for beginners with Aikido: take your skills to the next degree with Aikido's dual spectral analysis and envelope-following techniques!
The envelope follower found in other Bastl/Casper modules, such as the Ikarie dual-peak filter, makes a repeat appearance, allowing you to route audio signals into the chain to affect overall output volume and strength, or take the internal audio's envelope and patch it out to impact the behavior of your other modules.
Spectral Processing joins the fray, allowing you to take a magnifying glass to the high, mid, or low frequencies in your mix. Flick between frequency isolation for enhancement, de-essing, compression, even parallel side-chaining audio (can we get a "hai—ya"!?) that ascends Aikido well above the typical territory of Eurorack mixers.
No-one Fights Alone
Need more than 4 channels of this wizardry? Stack two Aikido modules together with jumper cables to bring the total to 8 channels. Or, take the mix output of Aikido and patch it through to your Bastl Buddy with the same jumper wires, opening up possibilities of parallel processing and much more. Switches on the back of the module allow users to customize the mute functionality between Pre- or Post- VCA settings.
Where would we all be without feedback play? Self-patch Aikido's outputs back into the inputs to get that BVVRRR goodness, or take advantage of the cascading internal routing to play with the mixed audio signals, layering and bulking your sound, or direct specific channels to FX units.
Discipline in training brings rewards, and the strength of the alliance between Bastl & Casper has yielded some of our best playability techniques to date. Aikido - your one-stop control shop for Eurorack in just 11hp.

« Tom Leclerc is part of Moss Explorers which is a multidisciplinary cultural and artistic association, between laboratory and exploratory discovery of new forms of dissemination and artistic expressions. This French collective of artists explores nature, mountains, and forests through sound and image. They hike and capture the beauty of wild nature in analog photography. Armed with their equipment, they film ambient sound performances that combine recordings of the natural environment where they take place and improvisations with a modular synthesizer. This is what we can see and hear from their excursions into the splendid untouched nature.
This association also includes a real laboratory of arts and techniques, questioning new forms of cultural diffusion. Transmission and awareness are also at the heart of this particular facet. Real efforts are being made to popularize and document these techniques: production of light scenography, energy autonomy, printing, production, etc. Many areas are addressed by the collective. Keeping in mind systemic and ecological issues, the collective also sensitizes cultural actors.
It is through this multidisciplinary approach that this project mixes the arts and can forge links between musicians.ne, photographer, visual artist, poet.sse and other artists as well as various craftsmen or public. Leaving free their imagination this collective allows the incubation and realization of the eclectic and conscious project.
In this changing world, we need to systematically change the arts, productions, and broadcasting. Many concepts are addressed by the collective, especially in terms of digital and new ways of designing devices for live performances, installations, and performances. This comes in large part through a low-tech approach to digital art. Given the climate emergency, it is important for artists to be at the forefront of new techniques requiring sensitivity and accessibility. Awareness of the impact of art and digital technologies is also a point of honor, as is the knowledge of equipment and material choices. Beyond the technical aspect, there is a new way of living and creating. We can talk about “project infusion” with the idea of soaking up a place in the long term in order to better understand the social fabric of these territories and to do the best for them."

You can have a look at his patch notes at our blog here: bit.ly/3CsR92i
Few words from Omega dB and patch download:
bit.ly/3CsR92i
I’m very excited to collaborate with such an innovative brand as BASTL Instruments, which helps many artists to achieve very special and unique sounds. I was lucky to explore in-depth at the amazing SPII Softpop Synthesizer. I've tried a lot of synthesizers. But I've never tried anything like it before. It's a small but mighty sound design tool. As BASTL says: “Softpop SP2 is a radical subtractive synth under the influence of unconventional digital control. It’s a rare beast that excels at both melody and noise in equal measure.” I totally agree with these words.
In this video, I made some patches to make it sound in different ways, in it sounds raw, with its character, using the native sequencer, slide, and scales. In others, I've added external processing with some of my favorite FX pedals, which gives it another kind of character. I also sequenced it with OP-Z's sequencer via midi, receiving clock, and pitch.
The video was recorded before the firmware update. The new firmware makes it an even more powerful tool, with new oscillator waveforms, and more features. So even more creative.
From Barcelona to Brno with love.

Without these steps, you will not be able to you your SPII with the new FW.
You can download the firmware here: bastl-instruments.com/instruments/softpop2
If you have any problem with the update please visit this link: bastl-instruments.com/support/helpline/softpop2
You can always ask our community at our forum here: discord.gg/C4RXRjgYJ6
FAQ:
Can I brick/harm the SP2 by updating the firmware?
No, that is not possible.
I have issues updating the SP2. What should I do?
In case the SP2 does not boot to normal operation after an update, get back to bootloader mode and check the following:
Powering via USB and playing audio from the same computer can sometimes cause issues (depending on the computer).
The power source can also affect the update. Sometimes changing the power source may help with updates if they fail repeatedly.
If your audio output is too weak for the RESET jack, connect your computer audio output to INPUT. Set the INPUT slider in the middle, patch AMP to RESET, and play the wav file again.
How do I know what firmware is running on my SP2?
The firmware version is indicated at startup by the corresponding GATE number blinking several times. If GATE number 2 blinks, you are running firmware v1.2. All units from the batch shipped in February 2022 have version v1.1 installed. Please update to v1.2 for better sync stability.
My SP2 is not tracking after the firmware update. What should I do?
EEPROM reset: Hold PLAY+TEMPO+TRIG for a few seconds and switch ON the power. Wait for the LED animation to finish. Release the buttons. Switch OFF.
After that, you can check the reset by going to TEST MODE:
Hold SCALE+SLIDE and boot up. Then long-press the MIDI button; GATES 2 and 3 will not light. Switch off the SP2.
Connect a patch cable from CV to TRANSPOSE and boot up to TEST MODE (holding SCALE+SLIDE). Unconnect cable.
Start the tuning procedure by holding MIDI+SLIDE. After it's finished, check by long-pressing MIDI that all GATE LEDs light up now.
Switch OFF and ON again to normal operation.

1:06 Lizza and her journey through lend of shapes and waveforms
3:33 PIZZA the FM & WAVE-SHAPE Oscillator - SPECS
4:21 End credits
Get more information here: bastl-instruments.com/eurorack/modules/pizza
FM & WAVE-SHAPE Oscillator
Pizza is a compact digital oscillator with powerful wave shaping applied to FM synthesis. Pizza offers a ton of flavor in a compact form, and it grants superb access with the assignable CTRL knob and CV, while its 3 different outputs allow for high patch flexibility.
Pizza is perfect for hybrid synthesis!
The unique take on FM synthesis combined with waveshaping offers a vast sonic palette while staying intuitive. Pizza is perfect for hybrid synthesis! Waveshaping on MAIN output gives you the world of additive techniques, while the PULSE and OSC OUT speak the subtractive language where mixing the outputs into a filter will sound massive!
Because of its digital nature, Pizza does not have to be tuned, and its approach to tuning is different. You only go to the Tune mode when you actually need to. Otherwise, the PITCH knob serves as either octave transpose or detune.
3 oscillators in one
Pizza is built around 3 internal oscillators - the Main Oscillator, which can be phase modulated (FM) and wave folded, and two modulating oscillators. The modulating oscillators are the Octave (sub) Oscillator, with dedicated output, and the Ratio Oscillator, serving more advanced FM duties. Both have square-sine-saw wave shape control for more timbral variety and can ring modulate the main oscillator. FM INDEX crossfader applies phase modulation to the Main oscillator either with the Ratio Oscillator or the Octave Oscillator (can be replaced by an external signal). The INDEX MOD attenuverter for the CV controls the FM INDEX.
Assignable control
The CTRL knob and CV input are assignable and allow you to gain more access to the oscillator core. It can be assigned to control: linear FM, exponential FM (global, Octave, or Ratio osc.), octave, detune, modulator ratio selection, wave-shaping, wave-folding, ring modulation, or built-in bipolar VCA.
Easy callibration
The EXT input allows direct phase modulation of the Main Oscillator.
The V/OCT input can be easily calibrated to match correctly with any source. Just play note C corresponding to 0V and C two octaves higher (2V), and you are ready to be perfectly in tune. You can also quantize the V/OCT input.
Big thanks go to Nathanaël Roman aka @pipeandpallet for his amazing graphics works
