Er, I already have it because… I made it! That vid is of the first unit in my studio… (video of it coordinating a Digitakt / Serge duo coming soon).

Look for a new post with more details and discussion in a day or so…

Ah looks super cool. I’m more interested in hearing it a bit. In theory I love it, but I’m looking for that sound ticket to ride.

Yessssssssssssssssssss. Great to read.

Got mine hooked up yesterday and spent a little time with it. Definitely think it is unique and extremely versatile and creatively inspiring. The sequencing capabilities are something I’ll have to dig in deep, but the limited time I have had with it makes me feel as though they are a bit lacking, though I am pretty sure that is by design. Some logic would have been nice as well as some odd divisions like 7, 5 and 3. I did however use the Controlled Switches to modulate the clocks and let through faster pulses less frequently in this video

I definitely see myself enhancing the clock and sequencing with external eurorack modules or sequencing, but I am really enjoying how it is getting me out of my comfort zone.

can I just compliment your track. It sounds very good to my ears.

My hope is that the loopers and patch points make the pulsar more real-time-playable than sequence-able. I try and stay away from endless, boring (to me) loops, and the pulsar looks good in this regard. I want to just sit down with it, mash my fingers on the looper buttons, get a cool rhythm going, rinse, repeat.

Absolutely. But I’m still going to have use an outboard module to reset on odd times (when mine arrives in about two weeks from now). If only he had given us divide by 3, 5, and 7…

Yeah, this works well. I did this a couple days ago, my friend was mashing while another couple of use were turning knobs and patching. The results:

Yeah, that is a big on for me too.

Thanks so much. I had about 3 hours with it when I recorded that, so it is not too hard to figure out if you have some familiarity with modular synthesis.

Well … I just blew most of my Pulsar budget on a couple of Instruo modules. Got tired of waiting. :man_shrugging:

And I’m pretty sure I can replicate a lot of what the Pulsar does with my (way too many) Euro modules. The loopers look kind of special, but this may be a Euro alternative. Or I’ll script some up with Norns :slight_smile:

Hi Everyone, great to hear what people are doing with the Pulsar 23.
I was wondering what the wait time is? I put my name on the list around Superbooth 19 time. Hoping it comes soon!

#73

Full disclosure: I have no idea what wait times are as I don’t know the backlog and production volume. But if it’s any indication, I had ordered mine in June 2018 and took delivery about 10 days ago.

The Lyra is ever so slightly smaller and the faceplate is a bit lower then the Pulsar as well. But they still look great next to each other. White Lyra plus black Pulsar over here.

that’s got to be worth a photo :wink:

That’s fair enough.

Probably most intriguing Soma product ever.
Still… I’m just not sure how to incorporate this in my setup I guess I’ll wait for a used one

Last night I got what sounded like pitch-shifted delay coming out of the Pulsar. I kept poking around the fx module to figure out how it was achieved. Eventually I realized it wasn’t coming from the fx at all. I must have sent some stepped modulation to one of the oscillators’ tuning pegs. Wife called me to bed before I could figure out how I did it though.
