Bastl Softpop 2 is a powerful and versatile modular synth, but to get the most out of it, you'll need some creative patch ideas and examples. In this video, I'll show you some of the best ways to use Bastl Softpop 2 with your eurorack modular. From mixing oscillators to creative tricks with the built-in sequencer, there's something for everyone in this video!
In this video I'm also using the new Bastl Basil delay and time-manipulation module. I'm going to do a deeper dive on Basil in a future video. And I have Dark Matter set upin a creative way as a kick drum!
I want to thank Bastl Instruments for sending me the Softpop 2, Dark Matter and Basil modules to experiment with in videos. Check out the Softpop 2 here: https://bastl-instruments.com/instruments/softpop2
