Description

Unleash the full potential of your soundscapes with the Propellerhead Pulsar, a dynamic rack extension for Reason that's meticulously crafted to be a modulation powerhouse. Whether you're sculpting lush, evolving pads or gritty, hard-hitting wobble basses, Pulsar offers the flexibility and control you need. This dual-LFO tool is not just about modulation; it transforms into a two-oscillator monosynth when connected to a MIDI keyboard, delivering a realm of sonic possibilities.

Designed with comprehensive patching options on the rear panel, Pulsar allows you to take control of your creative process, offering seamless integration and flexibility. Tweak the modulation parameters with the Shuffle feature to inject an element of unpredictability into your tracks, or smooth out harsh waveforms with the Lag control for a polished sound. And when you push the rate up, Pulsar morphs from a low-frequency oscillator into a high-powered synth, bursting with character and a range of edgy tones.

Perfect for both studio and live performances, Propellerhead Pulsar's LFOs can even trigger the built-in envelope, creating an automatic sync with LFO 2 for rhythmic precision. Whether you're an aspiring producer or a seasoned musician, Pulsar is a powerful addition to your sonic toolkit, enhancing your creative expression and sound design capabilities.

Key Features:

  • Dual independent LFOs for versatile modulation
  • Comprehensive patching options for flexible integration
  • MIDI keyboard control for use as a two-oscillator monosynth
  • Shuffle and Lag controls for dynamic modulation shaping
  • Built-in envelope automatically synced with LFO 2
  • Transforms into a high-powered synth at increased rates
