  • Page 4 Rate This controls the LFO rate. The Rate range in Pulsar is very wide and can reach way up in the audio frequency range. The rate is indicated by the lamp to the left above the Rate knob. The rate can also be synced to the sequencer tempo by clicking the Tempo Sync button below the Rate knob (see “Tempo Sync”...
  • Page 5 Shuffle >50% Note that the total length of the cycle pair is always 2 regular cycles, which means that shuffling will work great also in Tempo Sync mode, see “Tempo Sync”. Range: 50% (no shuffle) to 75% PULSAR DUAL LFO...
  • Page 6 LFO 2 to LFO 1 modulation parameters Rate (LFO 2 to LFO 1 Rate) This controls the modulation amount from the LFO 2 signal level to LFO 1’s Rate. The result is frequency modulation (FM) of LFO 1. PULSAR DUAL LFO...
  • Page 7 Trig button, CV Gate In modulation input or MIDI Notes. You can also let LFO 2 trig/gate the envelope as described above. Range: 0.1ms-3.00s (Attack) and 0.0ms-10.00s (Release) PULSAR DUAL LFO...
  • Page 8 Negative modulation means that the LFO Rate gets slower during the envelope stage and then goes back to the set Rate: Env start Env end LFO signal Env Attack = 0, Env Release > 0, Rate modulation = -50% PULSAR DUAL LFO...
  • Page 9 KBD Follow It’s possible to control the LFO Rates in Pulsar from a connected MIDI keyboard: Create a sequencer track for Pulsar by selecting “Create Track for Pulsar n” from the context menu (right-click the device in the rack). A sequencer track is created and is automatically selected.
  • Page 10 Use this for dynamically modulating the Phase of the corresponding LFO. Attenuate the input signal with the knob. Shuffle Use this for dynamically modulating the Shuffle amount. Attenuate the input signal with the knob. Amount Use this for dynamically modulating the Level of the corresponding LFO. Attenuate the input signal with the knob. PULSAR DUAL LFO...
  • Page 11 A CV signal with a value > 0 present on this input will gate the Envelope (see “Envelope”). When the CV input signal decreases to zero or below, the gate is opened (deactivated). Envelope CV Out There is one CV signal output for the Envelope signal. PULSAR DUAL LFO...

    Using Pulsar as a monophonic synth Because the LFO 1&2 can work in audio rate and can be tracked from a MIDI keyboard, it's possible to use Pulsar as a two oscillator mono synth with a lot of character. Here's how to set this up: 1.
