Yeah they are a little fiddly but I enjoyed trying out the Pulsar. It’s a work of art.

Made a little vid of the Pulsar-23 being sequenced by the Oxi One. They’re a good match, fun to mute/unmute entire tracks or sections of a multitrack. The Bass channel (set to Perc mode) is being sent into the delay while the other channels are going into the reverb - this is something that I discovered could be done far too recently!

wait you can use both effects at the same time?

Yep! Send the Out pin of a channel into the In pin of the Delay or Reverb. You can send one channel to both effects or to either. Game changer.
Haven’t even played about with the MAD pin yet.

I love using MAD to rain in run away delay feedback… I often send the BD envelope to mad, which resets the delay feedback every time the BD is triggered

This is something I noticed using a friends Pulsar, but the pads were higher up. Mine sit pretty close to the box by comparison, which i have no prob with. I didn’t know if the more recent productions had them heightened or something. Has anyone else noticed this?

Mine are pretty high up, super comfy and responsive though. In fact they’re more responsive than any pad-based controller I’ve used!

Yeah they are great pads. Just curious when you got yours? Mine was in August 2020.
Wondering if there’s a reason soma decided to raise them up. I could ask them perhaps but ehh don’t want to clog up the email.

Ah, love the orange one! Not sure when mine was born as it was second hand but here’s the serial:
Edit: sorry it’s sideways. 
Edit edit: does that mean it’s the 68th ever Pulsar?

Mine has the lower pads, bought last august.
I just got an used Ornament-8 but it showed up with a malfunctioning channel, I might just get a new one before they became unobtanium…

ahh i just looked at the back of mine and it was made in europe, not russia. I took someone’s spot in line who was based in europe, and then gave a friend my spot when it came up. i want to say that american orders came from russia.

Funny, it actually looks like these m4 hand screws I bought to mount my Analog Heat (and my Nord Drum 3P) on its stand

holy crud i just noticed mine are ribbed, THE PLOT THICKENS.
Had a little jam on the pulsar last night with nerdseq. I’m still learning the sequencer but like how it works with pulsar so far. Have a listen if you’re interested!

so the pulsar patch points send out max 10V and is all internally safe to work within this range. my question relates to external gear, and specifically in my case the Machinedrum, could you safely send P23 10V triggers to the audio/CV inputs of the MD without risk? same goes for devices like TD3 etc, which for some reason i;d assume are 3.3-5V ranges… but this a new area of learning for me.

That’s actually a very good question. Couldn’t find the info anywhere. Better be careful. Maybe run them through attenuators before reaching the MD ?

Recently got one. It’s the best thing ever, and holy f it’s heavy duty. That production process video was no joke.
The sound is also so full. I don’t even know how I’m going to try and mix in any sounds around it

I don’t have one, but from what I hear, you don’t. You let the sounds mix around you.

enjoying everything so far, but reaching out to the elektronauts logic base.
LR is a head scratcher so far in terms of recording, quantising and playing back with midi clock in. i fair much better in standalone.
sometimes the start point of a loop seems way off, but perhaps this is my timing recording and hitting play?
also has anyone experienced weird clock behaviour (kind of stuttering/stopping and restarting out of sync) when the Pulsar receives superfluous sysex information from another device alongside clock? with no midi filter i wonder if this clogs the midi in with data or if it’s something more my end i need to change.

I couldn’t get the looper or clock to sync to midi properly. Like, it’s in the correct tempo but doesn’t respond to stop/starts to reset despite this blurb from the manual:
Please remember that the LR has the clock up-sampling process that needs a little time for setting. The first few dozens of milliseconds after MIDI clock start can be inaccurate. To avoid this, the timespan between stop and start on your DAW or se- quencer that feeds MIDI-clock to Pulsar, has to be at least 5 seconds (then the up-sam- pling system stops to wait for the next clock pulse and saves the previous value that will be used after clock start). A second option is to use the LRST pin for alignment with the clock divider.
