How to sequence PULSAR-23 with the DIGITAKT. [IT IS SUPER SIMPLE]

[@theau61]

thanks for the video. Did you figure about the clap ? I think something is wrong...

[@SupahDupah]

No, not yet... I am looking into it further... and then will check with Soma...

[@SupahDupah]

I found what the problem is! The clap-delay thing is only being triggered by a full velocity trigger... as well as through the internal sequencer, as well as via midi. So standard on the Digitakt the velocity is set to 100 instead of 127 which is full velocity. So put it on max velocity and the "Clap" knob works fine :)

[@theau61]

Thanks

@@SupahDupah Cool! I'm happy that you diagnosed the problem. I was doing my best to squint at your video and try to find some patch point or indication on the panel. :) I already knew that getting a Pulsar 23 is essential to my survival. Now this cements the fact that I will be buying a Digitakt very soon. I was already seriously considering it since I really need a decent drum machine and sampler. These bits of gear plus a Porsche 911 GT2 and a 21 year old 1/4 Japanese, 1/4 black and half Swedish girlfriend is all I need to be truly happy. Enlightenment, here I come! Namaste.

[@SupahDupah]

@@vprice509 Haha, your outlook on life is so inspiring! Namaste!

[@Zeitstill_music]

wow, thanks! that‘s the easiest and yet most powerful connection I have seen between a digitakt and a drum machine so for!

[@SupahDupah]

Cool that you liked it. Thanks for watching...

[@LiamKillen]

Thx for this!

[@SupahDupah]

No worries! Thanks

[@PixelBokehProductions]

Great video! Super helpful and inspiratoinal. Apprecaite that you took the time to see if it remembered the settings.

[@SupahDupah]

Glad it was helpful!

[@studiogodard]

Thanks for your time! I was looking in order to resolve an issue on mine (same) setup. When manual triggering, all is fine. But when I sequence, only the A Midi track is troggered by the pulsar... Any idea? Thanks!

[@LaymensLament]

i have a digitakt and a pulsar and i didnt even think about how well the integration would work. i think this will be my new sequencing setup.

[@SupahDupah]

Yeah, it is a great combination... very powerful!

[@gluepet2074]

Excellent video - was up and running quickly with these tips! Not being a midi expert, I was curious about the decision to use only one midi channel for the various drum tracks vs. separate channels for each. Thx!

[@SupahDupah]

Well not really a well thought off decision in a small setup like this, but I often work in my studio with lots of synths, and then a midi channel is very precious and 4 sounds occupying 4 channels is not needed in this case. Hope this helps!

[@gluepet2074]

@@SupahDupah Makes sense - Thx!

[@sonickoas]

Great video , keep them coming

[@SupahDupah]

Thanks... will continue to explore this :)

[@deastman2]

Thanks for demoing this combination. I haven’t tried MIDI control of the Pulsar-23 yet, but I’ll be pulling out the Digitakt immediately and attempting this myself!

[@SupahDupah]

It is the way to go imho... although the internal sequencer is cool for just standalone jamming... the things becomes useful when you midi sequence it, for use in tracks and stuff

[@logicisirrelevant5913]

thank you for video! I try to sequence Pulsar with Rytm mk2 and the only kick I can hear its an " infinite noise", not a "normal kick", and I'm asking to myself if its produced because of the old BD module on my Pulsar. . do you think its the answer? thanks you very much

[@SupahDupah]

I can't help you I am afraid...

[@stujay]

Excellent video, but I can't get mine to work. I can play Pulsar with the keys on my Digitakt, but once I'm using the Digitakt sequencer, the midi is not transmitted to the Pulsar at all. Nothing is muted. Any ideas? Thank you!

[@stujay]

When I hit Play on the DT sequencer, the midi light next to the volume knob on the Pulsar flashes red, not green, which I believe means it isn't receiving midi. Hm.

[@SupahDupah]

I am sorry, I don't know what is happening... did you resolve it yet?

[@medenine4828]

Just received my pulsar 23 and tried sequencing with Digitone. Good to know about full velocity. The hi hats seem to be triggered as gate, can you kindly explain where to get the gate out so as to put it through the gate-trigger converter? Thanks a lot!

[@SupahDupah]

Well, you can't intercept the midi and make a trigger of it... But what you can do, is change the note/gate length in the digitone sequencer, to make it a really shot gate mimicking a trigger... Hope this helps!

[@medenine4828]

@@SupahDupah ohhhh I didn’t think of changing the note length on the DN

[@kieran4512]

Can you do this same type of midi sequencing with Elektron’s Analog Rytm MkII, or the elusive Machinedrum? I want to add either to my setup to control Pulsar 23. Which, if either, would you recommend? Only reason I am not considering Digitakt is because I want on-board sound engines, just need to choose analog or digital. Thanks so much, the video is super super helpful!!

[@SupahDupah]

Yesss the rytm has midi out, if the machinedrum has midi out it can also do the trick. What about the syntakt? Analog/digital machines… with all the dreams of someday they release a sample machine 🤓🤩

[@busch028]

The sequencing goodness of the Digitakt with the power of Pulsar 23. DEADLY!!!

[@SupahDupah]

Yes indeed! Digital sampler/sequencer with a massive modular addition ;)

[@lordymosh]

You've sold me on the Pulsar. Already have the Digitakt 😀

[@SupahDupah]

Killer combo! :) Have fun with them!

[@tranceformater]

Thanks for the Video.How can i delete Midi Learn?

[@SupahDupah]

Why would you want to delete? Just overwrite the midi learn with the one you want…

[@Fabriziomedia2023]

Hi, thanks for your video it helped me a lot to connect my new Pulsar to my Digitakt, can you please let me know about this issue i have, i have been writing Soma about it and ask for a replacement of my unit, the Digitakt when is sending Midi Notes to the Pulsar 23 on 4 channels when i put the volume down on on the 4 voices i hear those cliks noise coming from the incoming midi, they are quite loud i can hear those also when the volume of the voices is higher, so i tested CV and finally internal connections but i get same issue.. cliks and noise everywhere, do you find that problem? just want to know if i have a faulty unit, thanks a lot for your work, Fabrizio

[@SupahDupah]

I don't have the Pulsar anymore, so I cannot test this... I think I mostly sequenced with midi on the Digitakt, so never ran into these issues... when I mute a channel, there is no midi being send... if controlled from the Digitakt

[@DayflightTrok]

I will get my Pulsar soon it on its way to me. Please show more content on it.

[@SupahDupah]

In my new studio I will.. I will

[@TristanBaldi]

Great video. What a synth...

[@SupahDupah]

It is... it is... can't wait to jam more with it! (and make video's again :) )

[@TristanBaldi]

@@SupahDupah it's hard not to pull the trigger. I'm on the mailing list I hope I'll get the mail soon and that I won't freak out when it's time to pay ;) but I'm obsessessed with this synth. Especially since I can sequence it with the Deluge or the digitakt (and even the Digitone, with which I can add the Digitone fx on the audio output of the Pulsar!). It's a dream of a synth. Thanks for your videos, very cool!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Hi SupahDupah , how cool is this !!! You just made the Pulsar-23 a definite buy , for me..... but itll take a couple of months hard work to get that kind of cash , for me atleast .... but i WANT IT ! 🤣

[@SupahDupah]

Sorry for your wallet :) But it is a cool machine :)

[@barrydunlop480]

Mikkel Grum Bovin what’s the wait time like now for new pulsar orders?
