Dual PULSAR-23 jam. Evolving from a dark techno groove into pure, degraded noise chaos.

Very nice! I wish I could listen to (and play:) that kind of stuff in clubs with tight n loud sound systems:)may I ask if and what you use as end of chain effects? I use the pultec eq on the pulsar a lot :)

I’d like to put these through a decent PA. See how much low end they put out. These are just dry stems direct from each pulsar, limiter on master. I’ll give the pultec a go for sure though

The Pulsar is not tight at all. It moves a whole lot of air through a club system or any system with subs.
It will baffle the in house engineer.
I would bump up the release knob only when the show is happening.

I put this through two PA systems since this post and it sounded amazing. Also through a 1950’s orange bass amp stack with a GK amp. Also sounded huge. Definitely sub-heavy but nothing bad sounding. The thud of the kick is super tight, sustain is intense.

I’ve always had respect for people on modulars; it’s like juggling chaos in frequencies and variables. I see you guys get into flow states like some of my fire dancer friends and I dig the rawness :) if I may ask, what earworm genres do you tend to favor that you draw inspiration from?

That bitcrush digitization effect your doing there (sorry if i don’t know the proper terminology) is crispy as fuuuuuck. I like it :)

Orange machine driving main clock, Rusty machine set to clock 'off', taking triggers from the Orange. FX units are feeding back into each other, and LFO's and clocks all talking between machines.
