Great videos, loving the tutorials, so many things I forget in the moment when I'm playing these help remind me to use more of Soft Pop's feature powers in my modular chains. It's such an amazing semi-modular that surprises me in accidental and wonderful ways sometimes, I absolutely love it. I have mine mounted in my eurorack for now, love being able to decide if I want to take it on the go or fill 32 HP! Guess I need a blank panel that says SPII goes here! Loving the digital osc update as well!

[@JurekPrzezdziecki]

Is it just a similar idea to Voltage Block?

[@deepvivid9757]

What is the device on the right?

Dirtywave m8

your getting younger ? is this your younger twin brother?

[@bastlinstruments]

We have a talented video editor 🤭

[@random_meteor]

I just got my softpop 2 and it's incredible. The most fun I've had with a synth right out of the box. Great job bastl and thank you for these videos:)

[@bastlinstruments]

Thank you for nice words!

[@Congasjones]

Enjoy ! it’s an amazing synth

[@KeurslagerKurt]

Incredible sequencer on this machine. I've never got such interesting, musical patterns so quickly. Also, nice nod to Jeff Vandermeer 😊

[@quantum_ocean]

I bought the B Drum Kastle and found it very fun. Then, I learned about the Softpop 2 and thought it would be like the B Drum on steroids. But actually, I'm not finding it very inspiring.. It feels more like an overpriced mono synth Pocket Operator, with an arpeggiator. Will probably send it back.

[@pyrox2518]

I really like the Softpop2. But I got to say that my least favorite part of it is to create scales. I find it really confusing and very time consuming. Would it be possible to maybe make some software editor for it? Or perhaps make it more intuitive like the ''Intellijel scales''? where you can just turn on and off notes you like or not on the fly with easy button presses.

[@pyrox2518]

Also another question, with the trig+play looping FX. Is it also possible to make this part longer? It feels like if i make a long sequence by chained patterns that the FX loops over all the patterns instead of just the few ones I wanted to add the FX to.

[@Eskaltor]

would be cool to have this sequencer in eurorack format

[@tonysharp1615]

Thanks for yet another informative and creative video. Absolutely inspirational. Love all my Bastl synths and effects. Keep them coming guys. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@bastlinstruments]

We have few more in the works!

[@superultramegarobot]

Wish everything could be quantized to stuff other than semitones for us microtonal peeps! Just an idea :)

[@bastlinstruments]

You can use Fine tune function for that. Of course everything will be shifter the same but it is something

[@superultramegarobot]

@@bastlinstruments That wouldn't really cut it for microtonal music, it would just shift everything up or down as you suggest. I just wish we could fine tune each note in the scale individually (e.g. for music from different cultures). Just an idea for a future update :)

[@mariomontreuil7097]

the softpop 2 is also good tool for shamanic trance induction ceremony

[@Congasjones]

The sequencer is one of the many great features of this unique and stunning synth❤

[@bastlinstruments]

Sequencer is definitely one of more unique features. We wonder. What you like the most?

[@Congasjones]

@@bastlinstruments that’s a million$ question! I can’t answer that but for me it’s the pure interaction you have with it -it’s so hands on it’s like a “groove box synth” It so easy to use and get great sounds from the wild and furious to mellow and chilled I sold my o coast to fund mine and I’ve never looked back. Pure juicy synth goodness in a tiny box Leaves me grinning from ear to ear every time I use it 😍

[@chipfilmstv]

Such an inspirational synth. I play it daily b

[@bastlinstruments]

Thank you for your support ❤️

[@tylerlannan5935]

Definitely gonna have to watch this one again. Aside from the great ideas shared that jam the end was so much fun! Thank you 😁✌️

[@FluxFreeman]

I’m fascinated with this instrument, I’d love to own one it speaks to me

[@AlexanderCook87]

Would love a video with patch ideas for all the new digital oscillator modes.

[@stevecurcuru]

Is the CV output post-quantizer or pre-quantizer? Would be great to sequence other synths with this.

[@bastlinstruments]

It can be in CV SEQ or in CV PITCH TRACKING mode. Basically it is pre and post quantizer with some other stuff

[@politesociety]

Seems so immediate to jam with. It's been on my short list for a while. One day. Love seeing it with the M8.

[@bastlinstruments]

It is really great with m8
