Bastl have just released the first major firmware upgrade for their digital VCO: Pizza.

The Pizza from Bastl is a flexible and cool sounding digital VCO based around FM (phase modulation) with variable wave shapes, ring modulation and wave folding. Beneath its simple interface, it is a module that urges you to approach it from many different angles to explore its surprising depth.

In this video I have attempted to create a comprehensive video manual, followed by a selection of example patches, showing the module in a wide variety of guises.

Transparency notice: This module was provided to me by Bastl for free. They have not asked for and have not been given any editorial oversight for this video and I have not been otherwise paid for making this video.
