PULSAR-23: 1984 LIMITED EDITION
SOMA Laboratory is proud to announce global availability of the PULSAR-23: 1984 Edition through SOMA EU, with shipping worldwide.
This limited edition has been a year in the making: a collaboration between SOMA Laboratory, California-based synth boutique The Midium®, and an engineer Noah Jolly.
The name says it all: bare metal, red lights, angry. The 1984 Edition is not just a colorway — it is a reimagined machine.
Redesigned from the inside out.
The Bass Drum module has been completely overhauled. A new oscillator produces an asymmetrically clipped triangle wave that can be driven all the way to a square wave via the Drive knob, making the BD harder-hitting and more aggressive than ever. The tuning range is wider than on the standard model, and the OMG pin is now an AC-coupled FM input, opening up expanded sound design possibilities.
The Bass section introduces a new filter inspired by the Polivoks (the legendary Soviet analog synthesizer) raw, alive, and beautifully unruly. As SOMA US Division head Kevin Flynn describes it: “We wanted to see how far we could push the PULSAR-23 platform.”
As a bonus, each unit includes a user-swappable BD module from the original PULSAR-23 design, giving players the best of both worlds.
