HAINBACH Gets Weird: Bastl Kalimba Reviewed Like a Roo on a Trampoline
Ever wondered what happens when a kalimba and a synth have a wild night out? HAINBACH’s latest video dives headfirst into the Bastl Kalimba—a physical modeling FM synth that looks like it’s ready for both a bush doof and a living room jam. With early firmware quirks and a design that’s part game controller, part thumb piano, this beast is as unpredictable as Melbourne weather. HAINBACH’s experimental flair meets Bastl’s madcap innovation, and the result is a portable sound machine that’s equal parts chaos and charm. Strap in, mates: this one’s not for the faint-hearted or the strictly acoustic purists.
