Soma Laboratory Pulsar-23 Screw (Blue Zanzibar)

• 4 drum channels: Bass drum, BassPercussion, Snare drum, CymbalsHi-Hat
• 4 envelope generators with the unique ability to generate a sustain for the drum channels, turning them into noisedrone synthesizers.
• 4 independent loop recorders with the option for individual clocking. They record triggering events, not audio.
• Clock generator with an array of dividers as a very powerful tool for rhythm synthesis.
• Wide range LFO (0.1 – 5000Hz) with variable waveform.
• Shaos – a unique pseudo-random generator based on shift registers with 4 independent outputs, sample and hold and other cool features.
• FX processor with CV control incl. CV control of the entire DSP’s sample rate.
• Distortion.
• 2 CV-controlled gates.
• 2 CV-controlled VCAs.
• 2 controllable inverters.

Semi-Modular Drum Machine

PULSAR-23 is an organismic drum machine designed by Vlad Kreimer. It has a semi-modular structure and consists of 23 independent modules. PULSAR can be used for the synthesis of percussion instruments and rhythms, bass and melodic lines, effects and sound landscapes, as well as a source of control voltage and powerful analog FX processor. The PULSAR functions in three different modes: stand-alone, MIDI control and CV control. Moreover, all the above features and control modes can work simultaneously in any proportion or combination. Additionally, PULSAR offers live circuit bending capabilities and the use of the artist’s body conductivity to create patches and cross modulations. PULSAR continues the line of organismic synthesizers begun by LYRA-8, but now in the area of percussion instruments.

Same functionality as the PULSAR Turret, but at a much lower price, because we used screws instead of expensive custom turrets.
