Pulsar-23 is my favorite drum machine ever!

[MusicalDistractions]

This is such a treat. Truly the highlight of my day. Didn't realize you had a side channel and seeing you make a video on a piece of hardware I've been so excited about is so great. There have been some really lovely videos made by small creators about the Pulsar 23 but I have to say, it's real nice to have it also get the Andrew Huang treatment.

@13:00 Body conductivity! This is soooo awesome! It sounds so good.

I really love these deep dive videos. I wouldn't mind seeing things like this on the main channel, but I understand if Andrew wants to keep the more bitesized/edited videos there.

The Pulsar 23 is the Holy Grail of drum machines for me. I am on the waiting list with Soma. So by June 2024 I should totally be rocking out with alligator clips.

This is a fantastically helpful review!!

[LeoPerantoni]

I totally lost it when you were patching things with your fingers. That's SO DAMN COOL!

This drum machine is amazing! It also makes a good study object to design a rack with separate modular modules to these kind of results...

[normanfreund]

Brilliant piece of kit going by the video. Their Tera (in development) looks exciting. Love their approach of left field.

Thanx for the recommendation!
Finally came in at the stores bought the pulsar 23!
It really is a great drum machine as you said!
Thanx.

This must be the best introduction video to the Pulsar. Doesn't seem at all that mysterious now, and it sounds better than in any other video.

Vlad is a friggin genius! Some of the most exciting and original gear today is being created by Soma - absolutely brilliant!

I just can’t believe how someone can conceptualise a machine like this and then translate it into something this intuitive and inviting — and sell it to the world (all be it limited) ... utterly flabbergasted! What a piece of art and timeless technology 🤘🤘

[snakeindigo]

Excellent review... Well structured explanation and you look to be well on your way to mastering an instrument that has baffled many other reviewers!

[MinusNoir]

I watched many but I think this is indeed the best / cleanest presentation of this drum machine on youtube.
Btw I want the white one!

[MichaalHell]

I’ve made a 54hp 6u rack with focus on drums which gives similar results as those Andrew has shown in the video. It’s centered around Plaits, Basimilus iteritas alter and Bastl Waver. If you feel like you don’t want to wait for this then it’s a great starting point to get similar results

[CypiXmusic]

This must be the coolest drum machine i have ever seen!

[jonmackenzie]

that midi learn button stuff is reason enough to be interested in this, wow

The volatile pattern memory means it's not a machine so much as an _instrument_ ...which is no bad thing, and a better descriptor anyhow.
it means the user must attend to it - as any instrument that is played must. Automation is programming.

Sweet Tutorial man. thanks, Gotta get on the list for one of these babies.

Picked up a second hand Lyra-8 a couple months ago and then found out about the Pulsar-23, was immediately on the waiting list, expensive as it is, i'll work something out.
