SUPERBOOTH 2026: After three long years of development, Bastl Instruments today launched Kalimba - a typically quirky hybrid synth/instrument that resembles - you guessed it - a kalmiba, complete with playable tines

To operate, Kalimba relies on tiny microphones, touch sensors and an accelerometer to yield all manner of expressive sounds. All of which are housed within a physical design that is inspired by the traditional kalimba, tines and all.
