Compact, Portable Design

The Bateleur System features an extremely compact and portable design, allowing you to take it easily to each of your gigs. It is powered through USB B Micro, so it can be powered through a standard phone charger cable, or through your laptop/computer. The compact design is ideal for the space-conscious synth user, allowing it to fit easily into any workspace. The Bateleur System is highly compact, yet delivers a powerful, raw analog sound, with a high amount of versatility.

Performance Friendly

The Birdkids Bateleur System is ideal for live performance, offering a range of large performance friendly knobs and adjustable functions such as filter cutoff and resonance, ADSR control, and a built-in mixer, allowing you to control your sound on the fly. The large knobs allow for easy adjustment, making it ideal for live performances. The compact design ensures it can fit into any space on stage, whilst its powerful sound is sure to shake the dancefloor, producing powerful low-end.

Create Thick, Beefy Sounds

The Bateleur System has a distinct meaty sound and comes with 4 classic waveforms, plus an additional sub-octave waveform allowing you to create rich, full bodied sounds. These are the sine, triangle, square, and pulse, all you need to create beefy sounds. The mixer section can be used to mix in each of the waveforms and also add noise to your sound, providing it with some high frequency content, allowing you to create a vast range of sounds. The low-pass filter can be used to add texture, and create thick, rounded bass tones. It features a large cutoff control and resonance control for sweeping through the frequencies of your patch during a performance. Additionally, the Bateleur System features FM capability, allowing you to create those classic FM bell-like sounds. The Bateleur is capable of linear and exponential FM. The Bateleur also features a digital ADSR/AHDSR envelope generator with a looping function, allowing you to control the dynamics and release times.
