SOMA Pulsar-23 // Hauntingly Beautiful (not only as a drum!)

I finally did it!
I've never waited so long for a video to come out since I bought an instrument, the turnaround is usually one week, I think for this we're closer to 6 months.
But a lot of stuff happened, I moved, I've left many instruments behind, but I decided to take with me this, probably the most obscure and the one I have least confidence with.
Finally, I cracked the (very personal) code, of using the Pulsar like a very different and powerful Lyra, instead of a drum machine.
I made many previous attempts, but I was always ending up with trip-hop borderline eurorack farts and bubbles, and it wasn't quite video material.
Now, that's mine, that's what I like from my instruments, and I love the Pulsar even more for being able to get me *THERE*.
For any discussion about the process or the gear, I'll wait for you in the comments :)
Enjoy ✨

I wish more people were thinking outside the box to demonstrate the Pulsar's depth like you are here. This is the first time I've actually considered adding it to my kit.

This was amazing. This side of the Pulsar 23 is seldom seen on YouTube. The Pulsar 23 is capable of some serious beauty. It is incredible.

You really have to do a patch breakdown on this, I'd love to know more about your process, method and technique.

It sounds amazing 👏

Dream trio. That reverb takes the Pulsar to another level- if that’s possible 🤯 💥

Appreciate you taking the time to read each comment. I have been looking for a way to design some experimental sounds without starting at a screen all day. And I love how you demonstrated it can be used like a "pseudo-polyphonic" synth. This might just be the right tool for the job.

This is refreshing. My ears are tired of hearing the P23 playing endlessly dull 4/4 techno. Thank you for the new direction.

[aevai]

Sounds amazing! Really refreshing to hear such different sounds coming from the Pulsar

[znzerna]

This is really beautiful, and a super creative use of the Pulsar!

[kurisuchiinathecrocodile]

Haunting and beautiful indeed! Thanks much for this gem.

[chris_economou]

Thank you for this beautiful musical moment in time you created :) A tutorial on this patch would be glorious and greatly appreciated!

[FrozenLonesome]

Very innovative and expressive way to use the pulsar 23. Very much a solid demo of less is more.

[wnderr]

Absolutely awesome🎉, beatiful performance👏👏👏

[haraldkarla]

Totally unexpected to hear this from Pulsar-23 - 10 thumbs up: GREAT WORK ❤️

[AbyssalReverberations]

Excellent performance, Dexba. I am stoked to add the P23 to my rig.

I think the pulsar is a better drone synthesizer and ambient noise box than it is a drum machine. Very mystical sounds, me likey!

[TheJackJulian]

Amazing!! Very inspiring to hear this side of the Pulsar.

[AgustinDavidF]

Well, you did it! So beautiful passage

[obscursounds]

[IvanovSergeyMusic]

Very beautiful and inspiring. Now I have to buy a pulsar🥲
