Description / Specs
PULSAR-23 is an organismic drum machine designed by Vlad Kreimer. It has a semi-modular structure and consists of 23 independent modules. PULSAR can be used for synthesizing percussion instruments and rhythms, bass and melodic lines, effects and soundscapes, as well as a source of control voltage and a powerful analog FX processor.
The PULSAR operates in three different modes: stand-alone, MIDI control, and CV control. Moreover, all these features and control modes can work simultaneously in any proportion or combination.
Additionally, PULSAR offers live circuit bending capabilities and the use of the artist’s body conductivity to create patches and cross modulations. PULSAR continues the line of organismic synthesizers started by LYRA-8, but now in the field of percussion instruments.
Main features of the PULSAR-23:
– 4 drum channels: Bass drum, Bass/Percussion, Snare drum, Cymbals/Hi-Hat
– 4 envelope generators with the unique ability to generate sustain for the drum channels, turning them into noise/drone synthesizers. – 4 independent loop recorders with the option for individual clocking. They record triggering events, not audio.
– Clock generator with an array of dividers as a very powerful tool for rhythm synthesis.
– Wide range LFO (0.1 – 5000Hz) with variable waveform.
– Shaos – a unique pseudo-random generator based on shift registers with 4 independent outputs, sample and hold, and other cool features.
– FX processor with CV control including CV control of the entire DSP’s sample rate.
– Distortion.
– 2 CV-controlled gates.
– 2 CV-controlled VCAs.
– 2 controllable inverters.
Also, it has MIDI control and synchronization and many smaller modules such as 4 assignable attenuators and 2 dynamic CV sensors for CV generation, etc.
In total, there are 55 knobs, 11 switches, and over 100 inputs and outputs for patching, Eurorack integration, external mixing and processing, live circuit bending!
It comes with 30 alligator clip cables and a PSU.
PULSAR is available in orange, black, white, mint, pink, and ZANZIBAR blue options.
We also offer an alternative PULSAR-23 option: the PULSAR-23 Screw. It has the same functionality as the PULSAR Turret but at a much lower price because we used screws instead of expensive custom turrets (in the first photo, the black one has turrets, and the white one has screws):
Please note that Pulsar is an experimental analog synth, which means it has some small noise and bleed that won’t affect your studio production or live performance but can be audible in some modes. If you need perfect silence and isolation of sound modules, we recommend using 100% digital hardware.
