Hi Dieter,

It’s very simple. First you open up your Pulsar by removing 8 screws on the back. Gently lift up the back panel and locate the BD pcb inside your Pulsar.

First you need to remove the current BD PCB. Using a tweezer you need to release the four latches by squeezing them. Then you pull the BD board up by pulling on it equally on the top and bottom sides.

Install the new BD board carefully by pressing the opposite edges down equally.

The BD oscillator restart switch is in the bottom-left corner.
In the up position, marked as STAB, the BD oscillator will restart on each BD trigger. In the down position, the BD works in the original Pulsar mode.
To make the restart function work stable, ATT knob must be in the minimum or very close to it. REL must be short enough to decay before the next triggering.
Triggering velocity must be close to the maximum.
In some settings stability may also depend on TUNE knob position.
