Pulsar
PULSAR is an effect processor that enables you to apply complex rhythmic and FX/Lo-fi textures to any kind of audio source.
Combining two “Slicers” (independent Step-Sequencers – one per audio channel – with variable gate repeats per step), you can “slice up” your sound and modulate the
parameters of the main FX and VCF/VCA sections.
-
Create your “sliced” signal with the variable number of gate triggers per step
-
Adjust the sync factor to the host clock, sequence length, step On/Off state and gate width for both sequencers
-
Shape the overall sound with the analog sounding multimode filter in the VCF section
-
Insert an effect in the FX section choosing from four different algorithms (Tape Echo, Pitch Shifter, Modulator and Lo-Fi)
-
Make the final adjustment in the VCA section with controls over stereo widening and distortion level
-
Modulate the main parameters with the CV control from the two step sequencers
-
Use the CV smooth to glide between values
-
Mix the dry/wet signals of either the two “slicers” and the main FX
-
See how parameters are being modulated by the sequencer with the LED blinking inside each main knob
