❀️ Introducing Bastl Kalimba - A unique desktop instrument that combines microphones, touch sensors, and an accelerometer, with a user interface inspired by the traditional kalimba and its main interaction element: the tines.⁠
⁠
Plucking the Kalimba’s tines with varying intensity is captured by internal microphones and touch-sensitive areas, which then exciteboth the physical modelling engine and the FM engine. In certain settings, you can even excite the engine by knocking or strumming on the unit’s casing or directly on the tines.⁠
Motion and expressiveness are central to this instrument. The internal accelerometer acts as an alternative exciter for the physical modelling engine, while also interacting with the FM engine by dynamically filtering the left and right channels as you move and rotate the device. The front panel features function-based touch points (for creating pads, pitch slides, and timbral modulation) and there are also 2 function-assignable ones on the back of the device.⁠
⁠
Custom scales, octave shifting, an arpeggiator, presets, an internal layering looper, tempo/metronome, and built-in effects (such as reverb, delay, bit-crush, overdrive, filtering, and modulation) are all included.⁠
⁠
Get the Bastl Kalimba now on Kickstarter at Early Bird prices starting at €389 excl. VAT. Estimated shipping Dec 2026.

The perfect sundowner for @superbooth_berlin on the rooftop at @klunkerkranich with the amazing @bastlinstruments Kalimba! So grateful that I could Betatest this instrument and I am sure people will love it. Here I show the audio looper which is independent from the drone and arp live notes which can be transposed, but the looper stays. The looper can be manipulated in other ways.
