You can use the second channel of the pulsar for the bass, but you have to use some kind of MIDI controller to play it chromatically.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

The drums and the pad starting at 3:54 are coming from the Deluge. The bass and blippy melody are coming from the Pulsar.

It's more about possibilities for me... I love the chaotic noisy stuff that the Pulsar can do! But I also love the "softer" side, trying to tame it, see what kind of other places you can take it.

Great Idea, might try that soon!

Thanks, really glad you liked it =) The Pulsar is definitely one of a kind!

Hi, glad you liked it! The default velocity of the Deluge is 64, which is about 50%. Since the Pulsar is VERY velocity sensitive, you will get pretty quit sounds. You can increase the velocity on the Deluge by holding a note in clip view, and turning the left / right scroll knob. Now all future notes you put into the sequencer will have that velocity.

@@Karousin Thanks, this is so obvious. Glad you could help this Noob 😂

@@muffledthud1863 no problem at all, I have wondered about the exact same thing many times 😂

I like to do both. On this track I used samples on the deluge. I don't remember which ones exactly, but I mostly use single samples from splice and combine them into my own drum kits. Other times I have sampled the Pulsar or my other synths like the Peak and used them as drums. It's also very fun to run around with a portable recorder and sample all kinds of household items like sofa cushions, lamps etc, and use that for drums!

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks ❤ Yeah i guess so, for better or worse. I know the track kinda highlights some negative sides of this, but I still love being online, connected to all those I love. So there's light and shadow as always, and I can't wait to find out where all this is heading 🤖

Haha danke! Irgendwie bleib ich immer wieder mal bei den 80er Sounds hängen, die haben einfach was durchsetzungsfähiges 🤩

That's great to hear, thanks a lot =) I will definitely do some more, no worries!

🤩🤩🤩

Thanks a lot, Yeah it is an awesome machine! I love the direct Interface compare to my Deluge!

Yeah the Pulsar has awesome distortion - I just can't switch it off!

Definitely, they go reeeally well together!

Thanks :-)

Thanks, really glad you liked it! They seem like a great combination so far. I just love the bass Sound of the Pulsar and the weird textures you can get out of it, and the Play covers everything else nicely. The randomization features are really awesome! How do you like it so far?

@@Karousin yeah agreed man. I like it a lot for the same reasons. There’s something about the quick maneuvering that I’m really enjoying about the Play. Dial in Euclidean fills, hit a button, boom. Don’t like it? Dial it down, hit the button, boom. The ability to drop sounds on ANY square and then manipulate the timing/direction etc is fantastic. It’s like, all of this has been done before but never so easily digestible and fun. I also like the clever designs. At first I was like “why have knobs if you can just tap on one and then use the far left encoder to change the parameters? But then it was like “ohhhhh every one of these can control MIDI cc messages”. Very robust but still simple. Great stuff!

@@_adrienmccarthy7473 exactly! I also love all the little features to get you started fast. Load 3 sample folder (Kicks, snares, hihats), generate a beat in your favorite Genre, bam. Up and running in 15 seconds. Don't like the current samples? Just tap a button, now you got a new random kick/snare/hihat combo. Tap the button a few times, keep the combo you like the most. Hihat too boring? Tap a button, randomize sample in folder, bam. It's just blazing fast and get's you into the creative space in seconds.

Awesome, i would love to hear what you use it for and how it is working out for you!

Thanks, really glad you like it =) The manual states that the right connector is the input, the left one the output, so I use them that way. In practice I think there is not a big difference however ;-)

Yes i probably interpreted it such as: the right connector is the input (sound source) and the left is the output destination (modulation source) but i agree not much difference its just a little less effective as speaking about range of The knob, at least thats my experience, that s why i wanted to ask if its on purpose to tame down even more the modulation source

Thanks =) Same here, love the sound of that filter! I often use it for a single note that plays now and then. You can do this on the other voices as well, this way you get a bit of polyphonie ;-)

Yeah that really is crazy! I guess so many other parts are analog (filter, overdrive, ...) that you can't tell the difference...

Thanks, I really liked your jam session! Always a pleasure to find new like minded synth heads =)

Thanks, it is a great machine! I'm still learning new stuff all the time!

Thanks a lot man :-) The Deluge plays the drums, the pads are done by Novation Peak.

I tried all combinations, and settled on the Deluge sending clock to everything else. It is the "Main brain" of my setup anyway, so it makes sense. It is important, however, to send clock pulses from the gate outs of the Deluge, and not send clock via midi, as that seems to be a bit unstable and can result in drifting out of sync. In this video you can hear the machines go out of sync a bit actually, because I still used midi to sync everything.

Awesome, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, I will :-)
