Kastle 2 Wave Bard

Both devices are built upon the same Kastle 2 platform and they share the same internal hardware. They differ in the faceplate and manual. You can easily load Wave Bard firmware into FX Wizard and vice versa.

No, the UF2 files generated by the web app already include the latest Wave Bard firmware. You can easily upload it onto your existing FX Wizard.

Actually not! Even though it’s a web app, all the samples are processed locally in your browser and you can easily install the web app as a native-like application using Chrome or other Chrome-based browsers and use it without internet connection. See the full guide in the App Offline Mode section of the manual.

The Wave Bard is a “sample player,” so it does not record external audio. Its layout isn’t well-suited for this purpose, and organizing samples would be quite challenging. Instead, we focused on creating an intuitive and user-friendly web app to make organizing samples easy and enjoyable.
The Audio In jack can be used for chaining multiple devices together or, alternatively, for routing input audio through the effects. For more details, refer to the Advanced Settings section of the manual.

No, Kastle 2 family uses completely different hardware, so the firmware isn’t interchangeable with 1.5/Drum/Arp.

Kastle 2 Wave Bard saves input and output volumes, tempo, advanced settings /see the manual for those/, currently selected Bank and fine tuning. All other parameters and settings are cleared when the device is powered off.

Kastle 2 Wave Bard comes with a pack of 10 cables with rounded pins, if you need more you can grab extra long ones at B-shop or use any other breadboard wires (both round and square shaped).

No, it doesn’t charge batteries. It just prioritizes the USB when both options are available.

Currently, the USB-C is used for powering the device and firmware updates/loading samples.
