Workshop: SOMA Pulsar-23 with the guitar

SOMA Pulsar-23 with guitarThe SOMA Pulsar-23 can also process external signals and so I asked myself whether and, if so, how you can combine a guitar with the semi-modular drum synthesizer. Continue reading “Workshop: SOMA Pulsar-23 with the guitar”

SOMA Pulsar-23 (screw) with a Guitar

In this video we use the screws version of the SOMA Pulsar-23 to find out how guitarists can use this wonderful device for their needs.

In the first sound file, I selected the BPF delay and controlled the feedback via a CV touch plate. This allows you to set accents and drive the delay into oscillation.

In the second sound example, I use the LFO to create the modulation that modulates the delay time. Since I connected the LFO to another CV plate, I can switch from a light chorus effect to a vibrato with the touch of a finger. At the same time, I play with the feedback part.

DOD Rubberneck vs. Ibanez DE-7 Delay Comparison

This is a comparison of the DOD Rubberneck with the Ibanez DE-7.

The DOD Rubberneck has got much midrange and provides the rough sound of a marvelous vintage delay. By using the tone pot you can set beautiful dark delays. The Rubberneck is perfect to create ambient sound and soundscapes. The gain pot enables you to produce grittier delays.
All pots are quite interactive and offer numerous setting options.

The special thing about the echo mode of the DE-7 is, that the digital created signal must pass an analog circuit with a JRC 4580, clipping diodes and analog filters. You can easily produce beautiful rhythmical delays. A switch allows to chose between three different delay “ranges” which can be fine-tuned by the delay time pot.
Echo and delay can be selected by the mode switch.
