Pulsar 23 “Stuck Tone” problem

[Max Matthews]

Hello everyone,

 

I’m having a problem with my Pulsar 23.

If I play any of the “add” inputs they seem to get stuck randomly. It happens with all four – BD, Bass, SD, HHT

This causes the pulsar to emit constant output for a few seconds and then it stops.

Does anybody have a fix for this?

I have no alligator clips in use at the moment. There is just an audio cable running from the output.

 

Thank you, Kind regards

Max

No fix but just to let know that I sometimes have the same issue.

Is the internal clock set to its minimum value? If it is, try increasing it.

I got my PULSAR-23 yesterday and noticed this behaviour, but it only happens when the internal clock is turned all the way left to its minimum value.

I emailed SOMA support about it. It’s normal PULSAR behaviour – a quirk of the design.

The solution is to turn up the internal clock a bit.

ELV15’s fix solved the issue for me.

It was driving me crazy, panic ensued shortly before finding this thread.

Happy to also confirm that increasing the internal clock (TEMP knob) above ZERO will prevent this problem from occurring.

As to the mechanics of why this occurs… is beyond me.

Thanks ––
