The rawness makes the Pulsar-23 so gorgeous to listen to. I've listened to countless jams from drum machines and grooveboxes and all the sounds tend to sound disjointed because of the lack of mixing/mastering inherent to a jam, but somehow everything that comes out of the Pulsar is gold. The Lyra-8 is the icing on the cake.
Haha! So glad you enjoyed Spaceman! Honestly, working on that play (and the sound design) is what got me interested in exploring sound more fully. I got the Lyra and Pulsar to create some atmospheres and noises for the next play (if that ever happens).
Just adding a little perspective from an old man. I love the relatively recent interest in analog gear but those techno artists doing stuff like this in the mid 90s didn’t find themselves growing artistically and adopted the analog modeling gear in their later years because they had to move on from their limitations to sound fresh. I know one artist who was recording his 909 almost straight to DAT and later the ol’ SP-1200 for something different yet gritty. I wonder how this generation will use their appreciation to continue to use theirs if hardware companies can continue to make more unique sounding and playable, experimental analog instruments.
The Pulsar has several input channels which you can route anything you want. If you feed that external signal through one of the synth modules it ends up forming a kind of side-chain or gated effect which puts the Lyra in rhythm even though it technically isn't.
The clump of alligator clips in the top left part of the pulsar-23 are connected to the clock dividers. Those send out trigger pulses in rhythm. The clock dividers end up being very important on this machine, for me at least. My finger drumming isn't the best, especially in one take.

They aren't technically synced. However, when you route the Lyra through one of the modules of the pulsar, it creates a gated effect on the Lyra signal that basically makes the Lyra sound like it's in rhythm with the pulsar. It's not, it's just the pulsar acting on the Lyra's signal. The Lyra has no midi so it's not possible to sync it to anything.
Super cool
Really nicely done!
2 weeks ago was at office and lab of VG Line, where they are produced: just imagine shelfs, full of Lyra-8s.
Not from this world....😂❤❤❤❤❤❤ Sooooooo good.... Btw, for songs like this i make an exception from the 3 and a half minute rule😂
Amazing demonstration
Was wondering when I'd see something like this
What shall I say ..... Magical, Classic, highly addictive, dry Like hell.... Unbelievably good.... Sound of the (how starting) future 🤫
The synths Tuning in at 2.17 and 3.24 are touching Just nice areas in my Body....
I think this Song should at least be listened 1,5mio Times ... Thank you ♥
Sounds great!❤

christ man you wrote SPACEMAN play was incredible, AND made this jesus ... hats off

Old school Covenant vibes from this one... Dreams of a Cryotank... Sequencer. Nice job!
Love to see this with the solar 50
This is wicked bud ! Keep em coming! Would be interesting to see polyrhythms and more experimental grooves
Sounds awesome!! How I want these machines 💚
REALLY been wanting to hear this set up and was not disappointed. Great use of paper clips.
And safety pins! Very punk.
This is an excellent demonstration
AMAZING!!!!!!!

All the ppl younger than us ever do with this great gear is make yet more disco-duck kill the cashier for crack money rap.
@@gwugluud "disco-duck kill the cashier for crack money rap" and this means... what exactly?
It means he’s a racist who thinks urban music is an excuse to spread his garbage.
some styles of music have been using the same instruments for 100s of yrs and can still sound fresh
it would suck to be old and still be closed minded like you bud.
MUSIC is art. there is no right or wrong.
This is the jam!! Thank you for sharing your audio worlds with us a bit. You bring these comrades to life! 🍻🙏👍🏼🇷🇺
brilliant
I like how you use paperclips and safety pins to hold notes. I've been using coins, and your method seems more pure. I'm gonna do that from now on!
very nice
YES
Techno banger!!
Awesome!!!
Hammer, really good! I want directly dance, is a good sign ;)
Always wondered what putting my Lyra 8 though a gate would sound like ........
Guess I'm saving up for a pulsar, then
the view of a lyra next to a pulsar already deserves a like. what you do with it a second one 😀
Subscribed 🙏
Reminds me of odd jobs Phoenicia
Nice
wonder if the lyra 8 will get a sequel that makes it patchable with the pulsar
catch esoteric modulations podcast ep.2 or 3, vlad says they dont do sequels
This is great! How did you route the Lyra to do that? Thanks
The Pulsar has several input channels which you can route anything you want. If you feed that external signal through one of the synth modules it ends up forming a kind of side-chain or gated effect which puts the Lyra in rhythm even though it technically isn't.
@@leegridstevens7097 Dude wow ,
to astonishing and compelling effect, this is massive. nice tweeking
Does the delay on the pusar sound the same as on the lyra?
How are you triggering the pulsar23

@@leegridstevens7097 So ni midi sequencing? All is played as an impro?

not bad
might be a dumb question but how do you sync the 2? I just ordered both

@@leegridstevens7097 thanks!
Has your wallet since recovered from this?
Fine! You don't really need TWO kidneys
very good
Awesome!
