PULSAR-23 in-depth explanation BASS MODULE

[@a.w4846]

Being an old vintage synth musician I love to see something that has the build, the class and genius (with a 2020 mindset) and few synths and modules has all this. Soma Labs stuff does and Pulsar23 in particular is to me the most awesome contemporary synth on the market. I am hoping to own one later this year. Watching these videos the time being and it does things to my spirit's wanderlust.

[@kosmikmusa]

This thing is going to shape the future of music.

[@Phlow]

I don't own a Pulsar 23 but I enjoy your great in-depth videos very much. It's incredible how deep your machine is and how versatile.

[@extraterrestriallover1484]

Thanks for being here with us! The Pulsar is out of this world.. Vlad, you're a legend!

[@rrrobart9]

Bad Vlad! You are a wizard! The pulsar is the best drum synth of 2020. I love these videos! They put my kid to sleep and give me crazy dreams. THANK YOU!

[@anthonyrothercom]

thanks for that great tutorial. It's incredible to use Pulsar-23 Bass as a Synthesizer and the other modules as modulation and manipulation sources. It becomes a fascinating modular instrument.

[@electric.kitchen]

@ 27:35- whoa! it's like the whole 70s NY underground scene in a box!

[@gaspardguilbert728]

Never seen something like that

what musicians/records would it be please?

[@XanderEwald]

Nice reference! Got to dig out those NY No Wave and noise compilations for some inspiration again.

[@The_Invisible_Hand_Of_CV]

This device is speaking my language!!! This absolutely incredible patch-programmable percussion powerhouse will be my 2025 purchase! This and the utilities unit will be mine. I have not been excited by a drum machine since the TR-8 came out..

[@deastman2]

Thanks again for making these in depth videos. I'm learning so many new tips and tricks!

[@pseudobeast4653]

Most impressive synth in a long time!

[@joelizquierdo8624]

Those who thumb him down has no business being on this site. I think he did an awesome job explaining all its features. Thank you Vlad Kreimer.

[@TheFlippertube]

As I watch this video, I appreciate the subversiveness of having taken the definition of a synth bass module and perverting it to ignore the typical manufacturer conventions. Lovely

[@simianuk]

This is definitely the most eccentric demo video I've ever seen

[@bitegoatie]

I still love it. No surprise there - only in some of the sounds.

[@abregegere]

16:30 that's a really beautiful sound!

[@RonCavagnaro]

Really cool stuff!

[@michaeldulsky8492]

Very cool synth. 😎 I may have to to scoop one up. 👍 👍 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@ГлебПолищук-с8о]

Техномашина какая-то лютая! Я просто включил и слушал поток звуков.

[@Heavy_Distortion]

Sounds fantastic. Deep with a lot of character. .

[@spaceman103]

I have to change my wishlist and rearrange my career path. Make some some money, buy a Lyra, a Pulsar and shut up and play it. This is damned good stuff!

[@kevinbirge2130]

Brilliant. I salute you, sir.

[@Ian-gw2vx]

Can you record a melody played direct from a midi keyboard into the Pulsar for playback ?

[@thomasbrown3325]

Can you get constant drone from bass module without using midi keyboard gate? I guess the looper will sustain a note?

[@somasynths]

yes! on any pulsar module you can get a constant drone

[@AmyKnoles]

Fantastically insane!!!

[@tomlovelight2376]

Great instrument. Sounds alive.

[@ninabrodskayanina]

Молодцы! здорово! Wonderfull stuff!!!!!!

[@TheFlippertube]

I have a question. I am trying to control the drums and the bass synth from one external midi device (Tracker); how should I go about ensuring that the bass synth does not trigger chromatically when the other 3 drums are triggered? Is there a range limit on the bass synth notes to allow space for assigning the other three instruments?

[@somasynths]

Just use CV mode and it will be assigned to one note

[@VJFranzK]

Truly interesting! Will these be seen at NAMM?

[@somasynths]

we will be with Pulsar on PCA postnamm meeting

[@chellentano79]

А на великом и могучем есть обзоры?

[@gnrhsl1763]

[@somasynths]

Already started!

[@montserrattgrimaldo7095]

Can make power electronics or death indsutrial with Pulsar-23?

[@ys521wow]

Why my pulsar 23 didn’t come with Red Copper Cables?

[@jmfhsmith4923]

Is there a way to connect an electric guitar, using this like a guitar pedal? How would you recommend the most professional way to do this?

[@somasynths]

Just amplify a guitar in any way you want to get 5-8 V p-p signal

[@tusk1_]

incredible machine right here.

[@quantum_ocean]

why subtitles unavailable?

[@emilyschmanks]

are you planning to make any of the sections of the pulsar into eurorack modules? i'm building my first rack and the lyra fx is going to be a big part of it. i'd absolutely love to get a pulsar, but i can't afford it right now. regardless, this machine is on my wish list of things i simply must own one day. by far the most unique drumsynth of the decade.

[@somasynths]

not yet

[@brnsndwch]

Although I second the idea of having more Soma Labs modules, I think there are already some modules that may give you (almost) the same capabilities :) For instance I would advise the vpme.de quad drum voice if you want to go drummy !

[@VladTheSour]

any future chance to release the bass as a standalone desktop module?

[@thomas.moerman]

Hey Vlad, I was wondering whether it is still possible to order a Lyra-8 or a Pulsar-23 in a custom color? I remember this was possible a while ago. If not, I totally understand. I can imagine that's a bit difficult when sales volume increases.

[@somasynths]

You can order military green Lyra in EU division. The rest unique colours - need enough orders to do it. But you can leave a request

[@Kalus_Saxon]

My neighbours will love it

[@michaeltan_]

sounding really nice

[@daveapple205]

Take my money....must have orange beast!

[@thomasbrown3325]

Does percussion mode track volt/octave cv?

[@somasynths]

Yes

[@VEsound]

Thanks Vlad

[@Phlow]

What was the wood at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIG6gIGNoN-LZ9U for? Did you hide something behind it?

[@somasynths]

Yes, under the wooden block seats a little gnome who helps me turn the knobs. Gnomes don't like to be visible for people that is why I put this block. :))

[@Phlow]

@@somasynths I hope, they don't touch the pins and get a shock ;)

[@electric.kitchen]

@@somasynths Surely this will be offered as an official SOMA add on?!

[@DayflightTrok]

Good for industrial Techno, Gabba, etc. I guess, or?

[@BrawnyBeats]

I'm guessing it would sound great, but have heard people ask about how to get a consistent sound from it. I would say use it, then sample it for those genres or mixdowns and mastering would be harder. I'd still be sorely tempted to buy and use this in some kind of live gabba set though!

[@DayflightTrok]

@@BrawnyBeats Yes indeed Ableton Live Rec on and than experimenting. Later review to result and snip out what you have created good and through away what is shit. I bought this machine because it’s really different from the standard machines xy. Subtractive or additive or FM ... it’s strange and that is the adventure.

Take my money

[@Barefoot_Joe]

I really love the Pulsar-23 and most of your work, so this is not criticism, but for myself I would have prefered another analogue drum channel instead of Bass, personally I would have put a second BD or SD in, as everyone has a decent monosynth now.

[@SnashDerFlasher]

As demonstrated in the video @40:27, the bass module has a PERC mode. In this mode it can do all kinds of percussion sounds. It can be your second BD, SD, Tom, Hihat, even shaker... This is brilliant!
