Thank you Johno and Modular World for putting on such an amazing show. The performances were brilliant and really showcased the pulsar. Glad to be part of this community! Also thank you to everyone for their generous feedback in the comments - I was too slow to respond at the time; humbled reading them back now. 🙏🖤

Thank you Vlad for your amazing instruments that have truly changed our lives. ❤ such an inspiring event, now it’s time to play !😁

100%, Cari. The kind of inspired that makes you want to stop what you're doing and make music... Again--thank YOU and Kevin (SOMA U.S.) for helping make this event happen!!!

[@exanmusic]

Just wow! Incredible work from everyone. The variety of sound is absolutely fantastic and leaves me feeling humbled 🙂🙂

[@ModularWorld]

God, well said. I looked at my pulsar after the show...and I could almost hearing it say----you? Really? LOL

[@TheNimasan]

[@hissquiet]

@@ModularWorld aww you are too kind Johno! So much love and respect right back at ya!! ✨🐍

[@joeboonmusic4004]

Whole lot of expensive gear in these videos... but most just sound to me like someone having a panic attack in the engine room of a freight-liner.

[@ModularWorld]

This is a great comment - I needed a good laugh today. Thanks for checking it out - I understand it's not for everyone. :)

[@Probbie]

So good. Some amazing performances 👏👏👏

[@ModularWorld]

Thanks for hanging out, Paul!

[@MassofWorms]

I jumped in the very deep end of the pool today. Wish me luck.

[@ModularWorld]

Oh I wish you luck! How was the water? Were you able to swim?

[@clbr7572]

Great show! Thank you!

[@ModularWorld]

Absolutely---thanks for hanging--and your support of the show. Much appreciated, my friend.

[@kuanjian]

Hey Modular World, Thanks so much for putting this together! I appreciate the hard work put in here by you, your team, all the artists and Soma. Very cool. It's great to hear the instrument and also be introduced to new artists as well. Cheers!

[@ModularWorld]

Thanks for the kind words. You're right, these shows take a lot, but it's just so worth it seeing the community shine like this. Brilliant. Again, thanks for being part!

[@Honeysmack]

exceptional show, thank you

[@ModularWorld]

You're so welcome. Thanks for being here!

[@dangayle]

It's cool to see someone using an Ornament-8 in practice

[@ModularWorld]

oh, agree---wonderful stuff...

[@rainerd9890]

It be nice to know which track you're referring to!

[@ModularWorld]

@@rainerd9890 32:20 is the Shimura set. He rocks the shit out of the Ornament-8. I'm sure there's another one--but you really shouldn't miss Shimura.

[@ammachado]

I never thought I'd find a podcast about modular synths and people making art with them. Appreciate your work so much!

[@ModularWorld]

Well, thank you! For a good modular podcast, I'd have to recommend our friend Tim Held, who runs Podular Modcast. Brilliant. A pillar of our community for years. podularmodcast.fireside.fm/ instagram.com/podular_modcast/

Finally managed to listen to it all yesterday while working. It was really great to hear all the different approaches with the pulsar. Thumbs up to everyone involved!

[@ModularWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@erbro]

This is what this thing can do.

Классно!

Спасибо за просмотр!

[@Beanofritz]

This is awesome

[@ModularWorld]

right on--thanks for joining us!

[@TwoThreadsAhead]

This thing can produce some really amazing drum and percussive elements, From simple and straight forward to down right monolithically filthy, the thing that really peaks my interest in it is how it can be used to make those really subtle or in your face other worldly textures and melodic elements like Dexba does at 2:28:21 I've seen just a handful of people use it in this way now and what I'm realizing is that it's massively underrated and virtually untapped in that unconventional/experimental context and wayyy more than just a drum machine in regard to what it's potentially capable of.

[@ModularWorld]

Well said! Definitely so much more than a "drum machine".

[@ndywlf7746]

I thought intaMC's whole setup was gonna come crashing down. 😁 Great stuff.

[@ModularWorld]

Totally! LOL When the case starts rocking'........ :)

[@gylp2]

[@ModularWorld]

Yes!! All the fire! :)

Serious stuff. Mark is a leader in our community both in spirit and also in talent!

[@corticallarvae]

@@ModularWorld he's incredible

[@simion01]

That dude Shimura absolutely kills it.. Pls, someone tell me, he has a modified/turned modular Lyra 8, wired to the Pulsar?

[@agentmith]

It’s an Ornament-8, not a Lyra.

[@ModularWorld]

That's the Ornament-8.

[@tangledwaves2659]

💜💜🙏💜💜

[@ModularWorld]

YES!!!

[@kaszaniarz]

Dexba, Trovarsi... WOW!

[@ModularWorld]

So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for hanging out. :)

Bonjour tout le monde!

[@thierrymaillard132]

please how to save his paternals on soma pulsar 23?

[@ModularWorld]

Sadly you can't save patterns on the Pulsar. Or paternals for that matter. :)

[@GenuinePureSetae]

Hey vlad can I trade you some paintings for a pulsar? Anybody got $2k they could spare and share? So good all of it. Much love

[@ModularWorld]

:)

[@Duke_Silver]

What is the ring controller that electric.kitchen is using in his performance? (The thing on his finger)

[@err_rawr]

I believe it was the Wave by Genki

[@Duke_Silver]

@@err_rawr Thx!

[@MarkLentczner]

Yep, Wave by Genki. I connect it into my setup by having it pair with a Raspberry Pi (the small orange box on my table.) That box simply routes Bluetooth MIDI from the Genki out to USB MIDI. Then I use a Midihub by Blokus (grey box on the table) to pass USB MIDI to DIN MIDI over to the Pulsar-23. I have the three axes of the Genki Wave ring mapped to three converters on the left side of the Pulsar-23. You can see the label I put on the Pulsar-23 in my video to help me remember which axis is where. All in all, it sounds like a complex set up - but it is pretty much set it up and it just works from then on.

[@err_rawr]

@@MarkLentczner ooo interesting thanks for the breakdown

[@ModularWorld]

Mark....always innovating....love it.

[@SocbaEcaid]
