Notes: PULSAR-23 is an organismic drum machine designed by Vlad Kreimer. It has a semi-modular structure and consists of 23 independent modules. PULSAR can be used for the synthesis of percussion instruments and rhythms, bass and melodic lines, effects and sound landscapes, as well as a source of control voltage and powerful analog FX processor.
The PULSAR functions in three different modes: stand-alone, MIDI control and CV control. Moreover, all the above features and control modes can work simultaneously in any proportion or combination.
Additionally, PULSAR offers live circuit bending capabilities and the use of the artist's body conductivity to create patches and cross modulations. PULSAR continues the line of organismic synthesizers begun by LYRA-8, but now in the area of percussion instruments.

PULSAR-23 main features:

- 4 drum channels: Bass drum, Bass\Percussion, Snare drum, Cymbals\Hi-Hat
- 4 envelope generators with the unique ability to generate a sustain for the drum channels, turning them into noise\drone synthesizers. - 4 independent loop recorders with the option for individual clocking. They record triggering events, not audio.
- Clock generator with an array of dividers as a very powerful tool for rhythm synthesis.
- Wide range LFO (0.1 - 5000Hz) with variable waveform.
- Shaos - a unique pseudo-random generator based on shift registers with 4 independent outputs, sample and hold and other cool features.
- FX processor with CV control incl. CV control of the entire DSP's sample rate.
- Distortion.
- 2 CV-controlled gates.
- 2 CV-controlled VCAs.
- 2 controllable inverters.

Also, it has MIDI control and synchronization and a lot of smaller modules such as 4 assignable attenuators and 2 dynamic CV sensors for CV generation etc. In general, there are 55 knobs, 11 switches and over 100 inputs and outputs for patching, Eurorack integration, external mixing and processing, live circuit bending!

It comes with 30 alligator clips cables and PSU.

The PULSAR-23 Screw has the same functionality as the PULSAR Turret, but at a much lower price, because we used screws instead of expensive custom turrets (on the first photo the black one with turrets, and the white one with the screws)

Notes: The new Multicassa is here, we added a snare channel with five dividers, tree trig out and tree trig input.

T3 input can now accept audio, CV and trig signal, while T2 & T4 only trig signal.

Routing an audio signal to T3 in, will give you the possibility to filter it with the Bongo and Legno channel and also trigger the sound.

A new swing switch, change the internal groove, updated clock in, synch to 2ppqn and 24ppqn. Individual audio out for each sound and a mix out.

Notes: The VSYSTEM-3 is a complete synth in a case of exactly the size of the Korg Volca synths. t contains the following AE modules:

DRUMKIT (lofi digital drum module):

DRUMKIT 010 consists of 11 8-bit drum sound samples; 6 of them can be triggered in parallel in any combination by the trigger inputs. With a BANK selector knob, different combinations of the 11 samples can be selected. The PITCH knob affects the pitch of all instruments together, and with the REVERSE button the sounds are played backwards - quite a nice effect to be added here and there.
Don't expect high quality from this module - it's by design a nasty, lo-fi drum sound source, but definitely with its own character. Works great together with the analog KICK module.

KICK (analog kick drum):

It has three knobs: PITCH for the overall pitch of the sound; with DECAY the length of the sound can be set and with DRIVE a nice distortion can be added to the sound.
With the pitch decay switch the pitch follows the amplitude, giving a bit different character.
And a trigger button is available to check the sound without an external trigger signal.

SAMPLYR (sample player with micro-SD card, various loop modes, almost unlimited sample length):

The samples are simple 8-bit mono WAV files. Features of the module are:
CV control for pitch with 1V/octave
Gate input
NO (practical) LENGTH LIMIT for the sample playback, because the module plays the samples directly from the memory card
Sample is displayed on the included OLED display
For each sample, following playback parameters can be edited: Sample start/end, loop start/end, loop crossfade, transpose/tune, all this settings are visible in the display and are saved per sample
Different loop modes can be selected: Oneshot, Reverse, Loop forward/reverse/alternating, loop hold (loop remains playing when gate goes to off)
Editing of the different parameters is accomplished with an endless encoder and a small menu
CV control for playback start, loop start, loop length, reverting playback, sample selection
Six buttons can be used for quick switching between six samples of the current folder
Additionally to the audio output, the SAMPLYR provides trigger outputs for loop start point, loop end point, playback end; by this, certain other operations can be triggered at these specific points, e.g. synchronizing to the loop points.
...and all this in a 1-unit AE module!

The sample files are organized as simple folders on the micro SD card named "A"..."Z" and per folder files named "0....wav, 1....wav, ..."

Included with the module is a micro-SD card with some demo samples; and each buyer will receive an update for the factory samples, made by the sound designer "empty vessel" exclusively for the SAMPLYR module (provided as download later in 2024).

The SAMPLYR module is of course not a hi-fi, high quality sampler module due to its 8-bit design. It has the flavour of the early samplers like EMU II, Fairlight CMI IIx, Ensoniq Mirage... The typical, recommended sample rate is 16000 Hz. these samples can be pitched up by approx. 1 1/2 octaves max.

Beyond the 8-bit resolution, the samples can be also encoded as uLaw and aLaw; in this case, the resolution is true 10 bits. For converting your existing samples, the open-source audio editor "Audacity" is great for the conversion and editing process.

Note: The SAMPLYR module is a sample player only; it doesn't offer recording of audio.

MIXER 4-4 (4-channel mixer):

This module consists of:
An audio mixer with 4 inputs and their level knobs
Additional 4 separate inputs that are mixed at full level (especially for mixing CV signals) and a separate output

HEARTBEAT (precise clock source, with BPM setting, and tempo-tapping):

HEARTBEAT is a master clock source for AE modular, with some additional features. The module offers:
Precise BPM setting with an encoder in the range of 30-300 BPM in steps of 0.1 BPM
A graphical display for the tempo and additional info and menu
A big tap button for setting the tempo by tapping it
An illuminated start/stop button
Six independent clock outputs; each of them can be configured by a menu to a time signature between 1/1 to 1/32th plus dotted and triplets.
Inputs for clock, reset and two CV and trigger inputs that can be assigned to different functions
The clock source can be either internal or an external clock (at 1/96th rate which corresponds to MIDI real time

TRIQ164 (4-channel, 16-step trigger sequencer, with repeat/ratched per step):

Four track buttons select the track to be edited; with 16 buttons each step of the track can be activated an is then displayed by an LED.

Stereo Headphone amplifier, 2 IN/OUT sockets via a stereo minijack

It is delivered completely with power wall adapter and patchwires; everything needed to get the modular system started!

This is a REAL modular synth system; all modules can be rearranged and swapped as you like.

Notes: Black version of arguably the best experimental drum synth in the world. Unique semi-modular, 'organismic' design with over 100 patch points and extensive controls for the four drum channels.

Supplier's Notes:
PULSAR-23 is an organismic drum machine designed by Vlad Kreimer. It has a semi-modular structure and consists of 23 independent modules. PULSAR can be used for the synthesis of percussion instruments and rhythms, bass and melodic lines, effects and sound landscapes, as well as a source of control voltage and powerful analogue FX processor.

The PULSAR functions in three different modes: stand-alone, MIDI control and CV control. Moreover, all the above features and control modes can work simultaneously in any proportion or combination.

Additionally, PULSAR offers live circuit bending capabilities and the use of the artist's body conductivity to create patches and cross modulations. PULSAR continues the line of organismic synthesizers begun by LYRA-8, but now in the area of percussion instruments.

Please note that Pulsar is an experimental analogue synth that means that it has some small noise and bleeds that can't affect your studio production or live performance but can be hearable in some modes. If you need a perfect silence and isolation of sound modules, it is recommended that you use 100% digital hardware.

What's in the kit:

22 multi-colour cables with alligator clips 65cm
8 multi-colour cables with alligator clips 30cm
High-quality handmade bag for transportation

Notes: The JMT VDR-1 is a synthesis-based percussion box made for pulsing noise that morphs from jarring bursts to highly tuned drum sounds. The VDR-1 gives the user a flexible drum voice in a small package with CV control of both the filter and the oscillator. Coupled with a capable LFO the VDR-1 is a great drum voice solution, with a no-frills aesthetic perfect for any synthesist from Monolake to Merzbow.

VDR-1 Features

VCO can morph between triangle and swatooth waveform
LFO for modulation of the VCO and VCF
Internal MIC for triggering of VCF and VCO
CV in for modulation of both VCO and VCF

This is a synth drum with a built-in self-oscillating VCF.

It is equipped with a wideband oscillator and has a strong SWEEP effect.

You can create various tones by tapping on the body or with an external trigger (sequencer or piezo).

The oscillator has a thicker sound from highs to lows, and the waveform can be selected as TRIANGLE or SAWTOOTH.

SWEEP is set to be applied very strongly, so adjust it in conjunction with CUT OFF COARSE.

SUSUTAIN Setting of the decay time from the onset of sound

SENSITIVITY TRIGGER (When the plug is inserted into the trigger, the internal trigger of the unit is turned off) is to adjust the input sensitivity of the SENSITIVITY TRIGGER.

LFO.F controls the amount of LFO applied to the filter and LFO.

LFO.O controls the amount of LFO applied to the oscillator.

FINE is a finer pitch control for the oscillator than COARSE.

The RESONANCE oscillates at maximum and the pitch can be changed with the CUT OFF knob.

It can be powered by either a center minus 9V DC or 9V battery.

Notes: An exact replica of the legendary Pearl SY-1 Syncussion drum machine, featuring expanded I/O board. Classic analogue sound with individual trigger inputs, two voices and six different oscillator modes per voice.

Supplier's Notes:
The Michigan Synth Works SY-1 Drum synth is a full size, exact replica of the Pearl SY-1 Syncussion. Every detail has been replicated from the original board layouts to the mechanical construction. The assembled version has been modernized to use current manufacturing processes while still using the original board layouts and all parts have been carefully chosen to match the behaviour of the original. Case, boards, and I/O Boards are all interchangeable with the original Pearl device.

Assembled versions come with the METAL back standard, the wood case is available as a DIY kit separately.

The Syncussion:

The Syncussion is a 2 voice drum synthesizer with two oscillators per voice and six different modes. Five modes mix and modulate the oscillators plus a noise channel. Each voice has controls for TUNE, DECAY, SWEEP amount, SWEEP Speed, Sweep up/off/down, LFO amount, and LFO speed, LFO Shape (Tri or Square), and sample and hold.

OSC Modes:

A: One oscillator sound, at this position the regular drum synthesizer sweep can be effected.

B. Sound of one oscillator adjusting the other oscillator frequency; produces a metallic sound.

C. Sound of a mix of two oscillator outputs; sound is similar to that of a vibraphone.

D. Sound of mix of two oscillator outputs; produces a low to high sweep and is done by hitting pad softly or hard; there is no connection to SWEEP SPEED and SWEEP RANGE

E. Sound of one oscillator adjusting the other oscillator frequency with a mix of noise; produces a sound similar to hitting thin metal.

F. Sound of only noise

Triggering:

The SY-1 is designed to be triggered via drum triggers which output a very low pulse signal. Modern 5V trigger signals (v-trig) can be used, how it i recommended experimenting with simple audio samples or more dynamic triggers. One of the more interesting features of the Syncussion is the dynamic response to the drum triggers and just sending a straight pulse which maxes out the trigger inputs does not do the device justice.

Tuning:

The original SY-1 uses a tune pedal to adjust the pitch of both oscillators while playing. This functionality has been retained in the original configuration but is of limited use without the pedal. The expanded version DOES have per voice CV control (1v/Oct) as well as the MIDI.

The inputs and outputs use 1/4" Stereo to 1/4" (3 included) to greatly expand the capabilities of the device. The Mod input is prewired to VCF freq but can easily be switched to decay via jumper on the voice cards.

The SY-1 ships with a metal base panel but the DIY wood case can be used instead. It is provided UNFINISHED and sold separately.

Whats included:

SY-1 Synthesiser

Universal Power adapter (100-240V, 12V DC out, Tip Positive)

Expanded I/O: 3x 1.5m TRS 1/4" Phone to 2x TS 1/4" Phone

Notes: The legendary Alpha Base drum machine gets a major update. Sheer analogue power meets hybrid sampling options, now with improved visual feedback, better control and tweaked sound engines. Immense.

Supplier's Notes:
The ALPHA BASE Mk II is the successor of the already legendary ALPHA BASE.

What's new?

-Graphic OLED display
-Real RGB LEDs in the sequencer
-More buttons: Last Step, Roll/Flam, Store Kit/Patt, Rec Para and Rec Sample
-Analogue panning circuitry for the hybrid sample channels
-Improved analogue engine
-Noise volume is controllable in the hybrid sample channels
-More samples
-Headphone volume is independent from mix volume

It's true analogue. Eleven instruments, sequencer, Midi/USB/SD-Card. Samples. Sampling inputs, balanced individual outputs.

Although it may appear similar to the classics XBASE 09, 999 and 888, the ALPHA BASE has an entirely new design under the hood. Jomox have put in the concentrated know-how of their drum machines and synths of the past 20 years. Some things have been simplified, but also added new components or have combined them new. The outcome is the best sounding and most versatile drum machine that Jomox has ever built.

Kick Drum

The centre instrument still is the analogue kick drum which has gotten a facelifting again. The legendary punch and assertiveness of all Jomox kicks is convincingly continued. LFO, pitch envelope, metallic noise and gate time are famous features that may not and do not miss out.

MBrane
As a second analogue instrument, Jomox have put in a complete MBrane voice. It covers a gigantic spectrum of analogue snare drums, percussions, cow bells, claves, glasses, toms, bass drums etc. etc. It uses the technology of the Mod.Brane11. Of course, this instrument has 2 own LFOS, pitch envelopes and metallic noise as well.

Samples+Filter

The succeeding six instruments are built hybridly and consist of samples that are run through real analogue filters and VCAs. Each analogue sample channel has an own metallic noise that alternatively can be used as a signal source or being mixed to the sample.

With metallic noise only, it becomes a pure analogue instrument again. Four channels make use of a multimode filter that is capable of resonance - again they can be used as true analogue instruments with the self-oscillating filter as the only sound source if you wish.

Hi Hat

Two of these six channels are reserved for hi hats and make use of a proven and improved HH filter that was used in the XBASE 999 already. It is specialized for analogue hi hats and may conjure wonderful noisy hi hats from a sample mixed with metallic noise.

Clap, Rim, Crash, Ride

The succeeding four channels have each a resonateable 2-pole multimode filter that can be switched between LP, HP and BP. The filter cutoff can be modulated by an ADSR envelope and an LFO per instrument. If the filter is self-oscillating, one can create wonderful analogue toms, claves, sticks etc. by means of the VCA envelope behind. Or even extremely bend samples sonically. By principle, each of the four MM filter sample channels is a little synth voice of its own. A sampled synth bass run through the analogue filter is nearly indistinguishable from a real analogue synth.

X Sample 1+2

Moreover, there are two sample instruments that work purely digital. It's even possible that the Alpha Base can sample external audio on these channels for about max. 5 seconds. Which is more than enough for drum samples. The recorded sample can be stored on SD card or being copied to the internal flash memory and then being played back by the other sample channels. Samples can also be copied from SD card into flash memory. The format is RAW/WAV mono 16 Bit / 48kHz. The internal organization divides samples into fixed memory slots that can be addressed by the parameter sample select in the instruments. All samples can be pitched and modulated in a wide range. The sample start and stop can be edited and they are loopable as well. Modulation targets are: pitch, filter cutoff and volume. Each channel has an own LFO for that.

FM Synth

As a little digital gadget, a mini FM synth has been added. With 4 operators and maximum 6 voices it can create weird and crazy percussion sounds up to simple chords. Played over an external midi keyboard, it can be used as a polyphonic synth.

Effects

Two digital effects are on board: delay and reverb that act as send/return effects. Each of the analogue instrument outputs has an own A/D converter. The delay effect can also be inserted into the six hybrid sample channels and becomes then part of the sound production chain. The reverb can easily be killed by an encoder click but is indeed a great advantage for life performances with minimal equipment. Reverb times may reach to almost infinity, and the damping filters act quite extremely so that the reverb meets the requirement of modern electronic music and can be an essential part of sound.

Editing

For the editing of parameters there are 16 encoders arranged in a 4x4 matrix. Each instrument only addresses two pages by 16 values to make the editing as easy as possible, without deep menu cursors.

Notes: Inspired by vintage drum synths, the unique Seven Sisters creates everything from classic percussion tones through to experimental synth effects. Play via buttons or trigger inputs compatible with widely available sequencers.

Supplier's Notes:
Seven Sisters is a percussion synthesizer with seven voices that aims to capture the essence of late '70s instruments like the Syncussion and Syndrum.

Each voice is equipped with multiple oscillators, noise generators, and filters, providing rich, complex tones beyond the capabilities of the original devices. This allows you to recreate classic sounds or craft more realistic snare, hi-hat, and cymbal effects. The result is a powerful percussion synthesizer that blends the essence of early drum synthesis with modern flexibility.

You can trigger Seven Sisters using the buttons at the bottom of the unit or trigger inputs at the top. It's the perfect companion for your Beatstep Pro, Korg SQ-64, Eurorack, or other trigger sequencers, whether in the studio or on stage.
