PULSAR-23, the RAW sound [DEMO]

[@zjenji]

I’ve never wanted a drum machine more than this. Great performance!

[@SupahDupah]

Thanks! I am thus far very happy with my unit. It is very versatile!

[@Foopaa2]

You ain’t kiddin. This thing sounds gnarly.

[@Sousless]

Third jam is very resembling what I intend to make with this thing, when it finally arrives to me! Thanks for the video!

[@SupahDupah]

Yeah, I also want to explore the universe of 3... love the liquid filter!

[@PodOfHeat]

That kick sound on the third jam is sick ❤❤❤ Love these jams

[@SupahDupah]

Thank you for watching!

[@samadhist]

these are fantastic, simple patches. well done.

[@SupahDupah]

Thanks... Will make more in the coming weeks...! Studio is almost ready!

[@01untitleduntitled]

the third jam is soooo fire :) thx

[@SupahDupah]

Thanks for listening! :)

[@reason2910]

Never been this stoked for a drum machine. Sick video.

[@SupahDupah]

Thank you...

[@GoodMusicManiac999]

Can't wait for the first band listing a pulsar in its personnel! Really awesome

[@SupahDupah]

Don't know of bands... but a few techno dj's are spotted with them in their acts: Surgeon and Carl Cox for example :) I think Thom Yorke would be a good person to make something cool with it :)

[@sawsickmusic]

Amazing demo, exactlly what I was looking for 👌

[@SupahDupah]

Cool! Happy you like it... thanks for watching!

[@gretzelschnitke5108]

Осень крутой лайв получился! Круто! Молодец! 👏👏👏🎛️🎛️🎛️❤️

[@SupahDupah]

Unfortunately I can't read Russian ;)

[@maxmatson1578]

I have to say, number 4 is my favorite!👌 Kind of makes me wonder if I can get some similar sounds out of my "volca sample"? Manipulating the samples🎹🎧💫😵👍✌

[@SupahDupah]

Go for it... it definitely saves you a lot of money ;)

[@anthonymetcalf660]

You gotta use the right samples and it's digital, 16 bit I believe, but there is still a lot you can do with it. Not as much for sure, but enough to sound good.

[@EightsEverywhere]

demo 3 was such an acid squelcher dang I had this pre ordered but got cold feet but now I'm interested again hahah

[@SupahDupah]

I am so sorry for putting it back on your list ;)

[@mildheadwound]

Good endless source for the digi

[@SupahDupah]

Yeah... great combo, and super-great for (re-)sampling as well! Will pair it up with some lyra-8 samples by the way... That's an idea :)

[@lafoudrepasslafoudrepass5238]

ahh cool has a unique sound

[@SupahDupah]

All Vlad has it's own sound-universe :) Beautiful!

[@aSimpleChat]

Interesting video gave me so many ideas! How did you set up both devices so the MIDI from the Digitakt controls each instrument channel of the Pulsar-23??

[@SupahDupah]

Just with the learn buttons per channel... I set up on the digitakt track 9, 11 and 12 on the same midi channel with different note numbers for the sounds. And the bass channel on track 10 has it's own separate midi channel for melodic duties. Hope this helps!

[@phantazzor]

Yeah you enjoy, I'd everything to have that set up, live must be awesome

[@SupahDupah]

two cool machines to go live with and improvise yes!

[@phantazzor]

@@SupahDupah I just imagine play sequence it and play electric guitar on it

[@SupahDupah]

@@phantazzor Sounds like a plan :)

[@ameevamusic]

the last one is fucking amazing, whoah.

[@SupahDupah]

Thanks for watching!

[@dafimperator]

Open it! There must be something alive inside this instrument

[@SupahDupah]

It is probably full of insects running over highways of mycelium :)

[@ukbloke28]

Crazy. What is happening with the melodic section in 2? It sounds almost granular?

[@SupahDupah]

Yeah, it is somewhat of a weird 'Oscillator'... when you send longer notes in it :) Great fun

[@wurlinnawurl]

As much as I want this... This video really shows just how sexy of a device the digitakt really is... I can't help but feel the digitakt is really the star here..

[@SupahDupah]

The digitakt is such a versatile piece of kit... it keeps amazing me, and I almost always use it!

[@jontip]

Would the Soma pair well with a Digitone’s too?

[@niceguy7159]

These things are expensive AF I cannot afford that buy the way it sound like we are communicating with the aliens

[@SupahDupah]

I'll ask the aliens for some funding! :)

[@klinkske]

Not sure how you did,that but 1, my fav, took my brain into a sextrip. A good one.

[@SupahDupah]

Ha! That's a big compliment... you wouldn't even know! :D (Je bent niet toevallig Klinkske van synthforum)?

[@dalecutlemusic586]

@@SupahDupah I WANT S PULSAR 23!! Thanks for the video. I'm a DFAM guy. I'm buying a second one.

[@DayflightTrok]

what music styles is perfect for the Pulsar 23? Industrial Techno, Gabba, Deep House,......?

[@SupahDupah]

Industrial... also Gabba and techno/tekno will be really suitable... but hopefully I am gonna get some more subtle stuff out of it... classic Chicago deep house yes, newly hip deep house not so much me thinks... I keep on exploring!

[@Braunld]

Troubled house, moderate rock, weird uncle, distant cousin's house, dubious electro, reality raps, and recks on/off

[@kevynquiros4014]

As soon as I get it I’ll do an industrial techno album for sure

[@conormaloney126]

Silly question, but how are you sequencing it with the Digitakt exactly? Is it sending triggers for drums and gates+cv for the bass synth? It sounds pretty complex, just wondering if there are lfos or other complex mod tools at play within the sequencer.

[@conormaloney126]

Ah, just spotted that you've made a video on that actually, going to check it out. Subbed, great jam man!

[@SupahDupah]

Cool you found it... I have the duo setup now... and make some more jams today... video up coming week somewhere! :)

[@ItsThatJahncke2]

@@SupahDupah God damn some of the sounds you were making with the pulsar were freaking awesome man. I was thinking of getting this about a year ago, but didn't have anything to really sequence it so I decided not to get it. Now I am a proud owner of an Octatrack and with the the POWER of the Octatrack slider I'm very tempted to get this in the future. I know a quite a few people say the Pulsar is not worth its weight in music, but man I find it interesting. Normally drum machines are kind of boring to me, but not this and also the Elektron machinedrum is awesome too.

[@SupahDupah]

@@ItsThatJahncke2 Yeah, it is a cool machine/universe of sound... I think it will work very well with the octatrack... never owned a machinedrum, but a friend of mine is a big fanboy of it as well... so much good boxes out there... it is all a matter of getting the sound you want... like a painter chooses it's color :)

[@qmulus1]

Can the alligator cables be connected to CV patch cables coming from a eurorack?

[@SandcastleTheory]

From what I understand, you can patch just about anything into the circuit, and indeed the developer encourages people to do just that; so, yes, modular CV should be fine. The connection points are protected against over-voltage. Be reasonable though, like I wouldn't go sticking a fork in the wall socket or anything. ;) Cheers!

[@Mutempo]

Top left corner contains 8 ports for eurorack integration.

[@SupahDupah]

Glad the community helps out! Yes, there are 8 ports top-left to integrate with eurorack!

[@carmeloponente5030]

Awesome, do the effects go to the individuals too ? :)

[@SupahDupah]

You can route any audio signal (or cv signal) to the individual outs... these are patch points on the lower left corner of the unit!

[@jupitor919]

Will this machine be produced in the Green of the Lyra 8?;-0.

[@SupahDupah]

Not at this moment... ;)

[@cowmilkbiz]

is the texture of the actual machine plate the same as the lyra? it looks more like a brushed, coarse metal than a smooth shiny metal (which i'm totally down for)

[@SupahDupah]

I can't remember what the lyra-8 really was... and I am not a plate-texture-expert... send them an email!

[@StudioMagnetique]

Bit late, but yes, my Lyra and Pulsar are identical in build, height and finish. Sadly, the ‘Ornament’ I have just received is not and seems to be built differently. Granted there is far less going on inside the Ornament, but it doesn’t feel the same quality and isn’t the same finish. Perhaps most annoyingly (if you are obsessive like myself) is that the Ornament is not the same height as the Lyra and Pulsar which pains me when using them as a trio.

[@anthonymetcalf660]

Wow that kick is fat. It's moving my phone the way a real kick moves the floor.

[@SupahDupah]

Only real kicks will move phones :)

[@Handheldsounds]

That sounds great man. Is the Pulsar capable of receiving any other other MIDI messages other than note on/off?

[@SupahDupah]

Thanks! And yes, it also receives velocity, and you can assign CC's to different params of the bass track and to 4 custom alligator clip points... check out my previous video for all the info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPKamyGgaZkj9E

[@ukbloke28]

7:19 that kick! but then you back off it :(

[@SupahDupah]

haha, I am known for my anti-climatic performances :D

[@eladreltuc]

I know its the same but different...but how is this compared to the DFAM? I plan on buying a Pulsar 23. Im a DFAM lover. Thanks for the awesome video!!

[@SupahDupah]

I dont have the DFAM nore have I studied it much, so I can't say anything about it... maybe someone else can? And thanks for watching :)

[@lucapecss4698]

Looks like 4 dfam all togheter

[@ys521wow]

It s all analog right?

[@SupahDupah]

Most of it, but it also has digital parts in it...

[@ys521wow]

Thanks

[@diedforurwins]

So harsh ...

[@SupahDupah]

Hopefully in a good way :p

[@diedforurwins]

Lol maybe a low pass on some of the tinnier elements but what the hell do i know, I just use omnisphere presets 🤪. How do you like that elektron?

[@SupahDupah]

@@diedforurwins Ah, yeah... this is just the raw sound :) And I love the Digitakt... simple but complex at the same time!

[@NachtSchreck13]

Nice jam. It's a bit overrated, in my opinion. It's capabilities are awesome, but I just don't really like the sound of the thing. Quite pricey, too.

[@SupahDupah]

Yeah, it is not for everyone... it has a specific sound! I like it, standalone... hopefully I can integrate the sound into my music! For example, I once had a Jupiter 4 (the most beautiful sounding synth I ever owned), but it just not fitted in my type of music. So I changed it for an Andromeda, which fitted better... still mis the J4 :(. ( ;) )
