Bastl Instruments Citadel FX Wizard
Stereo multi-FX in 16HP with patchable LFO, pattern generator and 9 modulatable modes.
16 HP Eurorack module
Citadel FX Wizard is a Eurorack reimagination of Bastl's Kastle 2 portable instrument: a 16HP stereo multi-effects processor with a built-in LFO, tempo generator, 8-step pattern generator (CV+gate) and an envelope follower, all exposed through a full 3.5mm patch bay. It hosts nine effects across three families - DELAY (delay/flanger/freezer), AMPLITUDE (panner/crusher/slicer) and PITCH (pitcher/replayer/shifter) - each driven by the same TIME, AMOUNT and FEEDBACK knobs whose meaning shifts with the active mode. Effects can be modulated externally or internally, synced to clock or MIDI, and pushed into glitch territory with the right combination of FX MODE and modulation.
