PULS: Monophonic Pulse Wave Synthesizer

Introducing PULS by de la Mancha – a compact yet powerful monophonic pulse wave synthesizer. This plugin masterfully combines ease of control with a rich palette of sounds capable of giving your tracks a unique character. Despite its minimalist interface, executed in an unusual and visually appealing isometric pixel art style, PULS hides significant sound-creation potential.

Based on two oscillators with unique pulse waveforms, PULS easily generates everything from rich, deep basses and sharp, mix-cutting leads to nostalgic retro chiptune, warm and slightly distorted lo-fi, and experimental, quirky noises. Its versatility makes it a valuable and expressive tool for creating strong monophonic parts in almost any musical genre.

Key Features and Functions

PULS is equipped with key features for detailed sound shaping, allowing you to achieve significant depth and dynamics:

  • Two oscillators with custom pulse waveforms.
  • Adjustable pulse width, which can be modulated from the LFO (separately for each oscillator).
  • Unison, oscillator synchronization, and ring modulation functions.
  • Non-linear adjustable Release time.
  • LFO with host tempo synchronization (4 waveforms, speed/depth, PWM modulation, pitch, volume).
  • Built-in arpeggiator with host tempo synchronization (6 patterns).
  • Arpeggiator range from 1 to 4 octaves.
  • Arpeggiator speed from 1/32 to 4 beats.
  • Adjustable arpeggiator note length (0-100%).
  • 32 ready-made presets.

Sound Capabilities and Applications

PULS is ideal for creating solid bass lines, bright lead timbres, as well as authentic vintage chiptune and warm lo-fi sounds. Its intuitive interface encourages experimentation and quick finding of the desired timbre.

This synthesizer combines classic pulse sound with modern modulation functions, making it a flexible tool. The 32 presets demonstrate its potential. Regardless of your genre, PULS can become a valuable tool for adding unique monophonic parts to your compositions.
