Jamuary 2021 Day 30 // Pulsar 23, Deluge, Zen Delay

First Jam on the newly arrived Pulsar 23... This thing is a BEAST!!! Might have gone a liiiiiittle overboard with the distortion in the end XD
I sequenced it using the Deluge because I'm not yet accustomed enough with the internal looper.
The main output of the Pulsar is in mono, so I ran it through the Zen Delay for some "fake stereo" width and delay stuff.
You can route all 4 channels to individual outputs though, so the next step is definitely to find a way to mix them properly (panning, different FX).
I have to say the machine is a loooot of fun to play, and I only scratched the surface of what it can do!

Great job Karousin! Dope jam mate!

[@DomesticSceneMusic]

Yeah!! Nice job, really dynamic and full of energy.

[@Karousin]

Thanks, glad you like it! The Pulsar really lends itself to energetic techno with its gritty sound and squelchy filter.

[@SuperMarcozy]

OMG! Nice Nice

[@muffledthud1863]

Hi! Sounds nice! I'm having both synths but somehow the deluge is sending a weaker signal (velocity?) Then when you play the Pulsar with your fingers. How does this work?

[@Karousin]

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 😂
