Reply To: Kick Phasing sound?

[Cesar B.]

From SOMA’s FAQ :

“Bass drum phasing”

PULSAR-23 is set to classic PULSAR mode when it comes from the factory. This is normal and intended behaviour in order to create a more lively moving kick sound. The effect is caused by the absence of waveform retriggering in the BD generator.
If you would like the waveform to retrigger for each hit, this is possible by flipping a switch on the BD board inside PULSAR. To access the switch, unplug PULSAR from power, remove the eight screws on the back, lift up the backplate and locate the BD PCB inside. The switch is located in a corner. Flip the switch to the up position, marked as STAB. The BD oscillator will now restart on each BD trigger, resulting in an identical kick sound.
