Bastl Instruments - Neo Trinity

Bastl Instruments Neo Trinity is a flexible 6-channel modulation hub that combines musical complexity with ease of use.

There are three modes for each channel of this compact module. Firstly, there is an LFO with various waveforms that can be tempo-synchronized. The envelope mode adds rhythmic modulations to your patches and offers various trigger options as well as a slew limiter mode. In CV mode, Neo Trinity can act as a CV recorder, recording the knob movements and generating CV or gate sequences. Playful modulations, polymetry or algorithmic fills are just a few of the possibilities.

Even more complex settings can be achieved by using the CV inputs. Particularly impressive is the META input, which can affect all, none or selected channels. In addition, channels E and F have their own inputs, for which the same setting options are available as for the META input. Among other things, the behavior of the rate control can be controlled and the amplitude behavior of the respective channel output can be influenced in VCA mode. Additionally, the inputs can be used as external trigger inputs or to control the internal sample & hold function. In CV mode, Neo Trinity can also act as a quantizer and becomes a practical voltage processor in combination with the CV inputs.
