Pulsar 23 by Soma Explained: A Deep Dive into Diode, Capacitor, and Controlled Inverter Sections

[@drgwon]

Best explanation of pulsar 23 diode and capacitor ever. TOP!! Congratulations

[@badador]

thanks a lot for your feedback 🙏🏻

[@tvoreksolitude]

One of the best video tutorials on Pulsar ever!

[@badador]

thank you for the kind words!

with no drums sound..,?

[@rainerd9890]

Thanks, a much needed clarification of some of the pulsar 23 utilities! Especially helpful was the oscilloscope.

[@badador]

Thanks!! yes using an oscilloscope has helped me a lot in understanding stuff

[@rulindachatt]

Super helpful for me as a brand new pulsar owner. If you were still imnspired to make videos on this topic and could discuss how to use the GND pin when using the machine stand alone I would appreciate it so much. I see patches of people using GND in patches and never have a clue what the purpose is. Thanks again.. Great work

[@badador]

so glad to hear that you find it useful. and I will try to make a video about using GND in patches ✌🏻

[@OgloVermark]

Really great tips, thank you so so much ! Really enjoyed your meticulous explanations, something some pulsar enthusiasts do not do I have the Zanzibar one :)

Great tips! Would be nice to have a closeup view on the things, but super useful nevertheless

[@badador]

thank you! thats a great tip. I will try to incorporate close up shots in the future

Great video demonstration. It’s really helpful to see the scope. I'm surprised you can plug in the direct outputs of the pulsar into your soundcard? is that just done through the line in jack on the computer soundcard? is there any concern about frying the soundcard with voltage? would love more instruction on how to do that, monitoring the pulsar with a scope is really really helpful I would like to try it.

[@badador]

@@bradon2318 Thanks 😊. So my soundcard is ES-8 by Expert Sleepers which has DC coupled ins/outs and this allows you to pass CVs and gates thru it.let me know if you need me to explain more

[@bradon2318]

@@badador ah ok so it has to be a special sound card then. I'm not sure how to know if a line-in input is DC coupled or not on general soundcards? I have one that is built into the mother board but I also have a M-Audio FW external that has line inputs... but i don't know if any of them are DC coupled or not.

[@badador]

@@bradon2318 the ES-8 is a sound card in eurorack format. most of the desktop sound cards don't have DC coupled Ins but the outputs could be, you have to check on their websites(I don't think your have dc outs)

[@bradon2318]

@@badador Thanks for that info... I kind of assumed most built in sound cards wouldn't work. The ES-8 looks great. I just don't have a eurorack case and was kind of avoiding it having to get whole eurorack setup. But If i need to go Eurorack I may just get that mordax data which is a hardware scope that would maybe do the same thing? The scope is absolutely critical for understanding how the pulses are being shaped its kind of a necessary in my opinion.

[@badador]

@@bradon2318 no worries, glad I could help. yes I totally agree, a scope is definitely needed to better understand things

[@KeithDuncanSound]

Yeah cool man nicely explained

[@badador]

thank you!

Thanks man that was awesome 👌🙏

glad you like it man

[@Tinyvince1971]

Thanks a lot.Can you briefly tell me what you mean by 16th triggers from the PNW. In my case here i cant clock the shaos with one the different clockouts of PNW PPEXP1 or an square pulse with a very short width.Cant clock the shaos with pam at all.But it works perfect with the right hand tigger out of maths ! Its a higher voltage shows me my DATA or VCR.

[@badador]

sorry for the confusion, I meant 16th notes triggers, which is, if you assign one of the PNW's channels to Square and the speed at X4. what you said is correct, you can't clock the SHOAS because the PNW voltage output is 5volts and SHAOS needs 10 volts. so to make it work you can use your Maths. patch the output of a PNW channel that you want to clock the SHAOS with to channel 1 of Maths (the left side). make sure to put the Rise knob all the to the left and then use the EOR (end of rise) output of Maths to clock the the SHAOS. an alternative is to clock Pulsar with PNW (PNW is the master clock). with this one you don't need to use Maths. just assign a channel of PNW to the speed at X8 and SQR. patch it to the clock in of Pulsar(the clock in of Pulsar doesn't need 10 volts to work it works just fine with 5 volts), from here you can clock the SHAOS with one of Pulsar's clock dividers. just make sure to put the "INT MIDI" switch in the center which is the external mode. let me know if have any other questions

[@Tinyvince1971]

@@badador Yes thanks i found it out .Can you tell me which value of BPM come from PPW ?

[@badador]

@@Tinyvince1971 if you mean in the video, it was X4

Hi! You should check Adamski A (The Advanc3d) videos about his DIY tinkering. This man explains some things in a pretty casual way but he gives some schematics also! You'll get better about all these components and get more ideas for Pulsar. If Pulsar has +-12v supply for users then it will be handy as well! If not then you can use your modulars' PSUs. I think it's not a crime to borrow some power from your "boxes" :)

[@badador]

thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out
