I had a play with a mates Pulsar-23 a few weeks ago and loved it.
His was a standard version.
SOMA Laboratory, has however recently collaborated with musician/video producer
Andrew Huang to produce this exclusive edition PULSAR-23
It has a loud yellow exterior with custom knobs which is accompanied by an exclusive
alligator clip-emblazoned hat.
The Pulsar-23 is a semi-modular drum
machine with an open-ended approach
that sidesteps and outright rejects
classic drum machine tropes.
Described by its creator Vlad Kreimer
as "organismic," PULSAR-23 is all
about building living, breathing,
evolving rhythmic structures using
alligator clip patch points and
physical interaction....
Like other SOMA devices, Pulsar-23 creates a seemingly organic connection
between the musician and instrument, tapping into the deepest parts of your
subconscious to rely on instinct and reaction rather than conscious decision-making.
PULSAR-23's four voices are tailored to produce kick, bass, snare, and hat sounds,
respectively, all of which can be controlled using the built-in recorder/sequencer or external
MIDI or control voltages. But by patching together its many control voltage utilities and
effects, it reveals a unique life of its own.
This Perfect Circuit exclusive PULSAR-23 includes a custom colorway, knobs, and hat
— all developed in collaboration with Andrew Huang to complement his unique take on this experimental drum machine.
The PULSAR-23 Andrew Huang Edition is available here:
Cost: $2250 USD
