Vlad Kreimer Plays The SOMA Laboratory Pulsar-23 Drum Machine

[@zjenji]

I’ve seen quite a few videos now, and Vlad’s performances still outshine them all.

[@e.b.1279]

Man! That's a FULL ON Experimental Beatbox! NICEE!!! Actually, it makes me realize that there are quite a lot of Roland-"esque", LinnDrum-"esque", Oberheim-"esque", MPC filter-"esque", Emu-"esque", etc... drum machines out there. And in general, they kinda have a similar sound palette - digital samples of drums and/OR a mix of analog/digital computer acoustic drums sounds. It's kinda nice having a experimental drum designs like this, or the old Metasonix tube modules, and the Folktek Matter, and others. Real world percussion is SUPER VARIED (definitely NOT just an acoustic drum kit), it's nice to think that one day maybe even electronic instruments could have such a rich, varied palette to pull from, if one chooses.

Proud owner of black model #27 (I was crazy enough to order after the prototype video). This machine is a compelling journey; experimentation takes you on paths you would never expect, and it is never boring. As a drone box, it's something else. I put a few demos of it on my channel if you're curious. Also, my dealings with Soma have been very pleasant. They are responsive, and kind. They really care about what they make.

[@Ian-gw2vx]

I have the Lyra 8 which I love. Would this complement it ?

[@donaldpriola1807]

@@Ian-gw2vx Oh, yes! It would be a really good companion. Especially since it can do noise, but also cleaner sounds.

[@benmeyk]

love it, incredibly beautiful soundscapes

[@PerfectCircuit]

Glad you like it!

[@ThroughTheBag]

We fucking love & appreciate you Soma Labs 🤘❤️

[@1vootman]

That thing paired with nice vintage wavetable synth, like a Waldorf Xtk would be perfect and nice contrast, maybe throw in a Syntrx and you'd have yourself an Alien death machine

[@luctmelod]

remarkable performance!

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

Would like to see a band with a guy using this for drums, and other guys playing other non traditional instruments, or playing traditional instruments, in non traditional ways. Kind of acid jazz improv, constantly evolving. To many use beat box as set and forget, then switch to other instruments. I want one guy dedicated to making and evolving the beats.

[@praticle]

I ordered one in hopes of becoming exactly that guy! I just need to find the rest of the band now haha

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

Practical, wishing you the best, in your search for fellow musicians to join you in your musical endeavors. Hope I can see you playing then 😎

[@Claidheambmor]

I can just imagine a brooding Bohren-esque saxophone and a fretless bass keeping things in time. Would be rad.

[@neomono2303]

Waiting to make an entire album with it. So inspired!

[@dalecutlemusic586]

I cant wait to see a DFAM Pulsar 23 jam!!!!!! Do it Perfect Circuit

[@ZElTGElST]

[@hereps]

Organismic Noise Machine 😍

[@trevor4835]

1000% WANT

[@vprice509]

With this machine we shall call to distant stars. Our space brothers will be all like, "Well, it's about time, primates." And then we will be initiated into the Uberdorf and take our place in the fellig of golden sun water planets. The chair, staff and skyloop is already waiting for our duly appointed representative, Mr. Russell Brand.

[@mikegeary8056]

God I want one so bad!!!

[@pablumpicasso9207]

So, uh, yeah... this thing is amazing. When will Perfect Circuit have them for sale? 😁

[@purposemaker909]

Double dope

[@yeppy013]

Are these available and what is the release date?

[@annother3350]

[@thomaskenneally219]

"Uhhhhhhhh" (Master P voice)

[@Arperture]

Trent Reznor has added this to his cart.

[@ZOSIMAH]

First three ppl I've got on my mind, when I've heard this beast were Trent, Richard (Aphex) , Mick Harris (and myself 😉).... This is a revolution! I'm in love!

[@HelmutDerMann]

Yeah, got some autechre vibes

[@bigkingsha]

Sick.

[@guitdafunkadelik]

Fan tastic! Is it possible to record the automation of a knob while in record loop mode?

[@Ratskank]

Pretty sure that's a NOPE, But you can patch clock dividers etc to do similar things

[@rekcor3]

MIDI controllers work

[@gaellopez5532]

Sound like Spiral tribe ... curiously the machine is called 23 ...

[@holografik3327]

the most bizarre drum machine ever !

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

🎶🔝🎶

[@punitalamba1502]

The question is "how does it make you feel"?

[@jf542]

[@nickhem12]

[@christoroppolo8742]

This was epic ! But please ! Get them in the shop! The wait for the Pre order thing is painful at this point. Peace Christo 🛸☮️👽🎶🐕

[@PerfectCircuit]

We will be getting them but we don't know when yet.

[@nutritionalyeast7978]

really want one of these tbh. just wish it had bananas instead of those metal prong things

[@politesociety]

Gator clips means you can attach multiple clips to one peg, and makes it easy to add in other electronics in the signal path. I think he demoed using diodes and resistors to affect signals.

[@nutritionalyeast7978]

@@politesociety I'm not questioning his design choice, just that I'd prefer to use it with bananas. Gator clips don't have the best grip which would make it annoying to bring to a venue pre-patched

[@politesociety]

@@nutritionalyeast7978 that's fair, it does have the feeling of a homebrew breadboard circuit. For better or worse.

[@annother3350]

but you can play this by spanning your fingertips!!

[@1vootman]

Made for Industrial

[@mr4viertel]
