It seems to fade to a more narrow pulswith depending on the A-ADSR. The longer the decay stage fore example the longer is the fade to a more narrow pwith.

Does the âkeytrackâ value set the depth of the pw fade envelope? Or the decay time? Iâm not clear on the relationship between ENV A and the value set by the âkeytrackâ.
Yes. This is what I think it does. The higher the âkeytrackâ value (fade) more of the adsr will affect the pwm.

Coincidentally, I just rebought this synth after briefly owning one when they first came out. I only sold it because there were so many other analog mono synths coming out at the time that I also wanted to try.
I really like how this synth sounds; the oscillators, FM with osc 3, the precise filter, and modulation possibilities⌠itâs a really underrated beast imo.

I have owned a Pulse 2 for quite a while and although it doesnât get used all the time when I do plug it in I am always surprised by how good and most of all clear it sounds. I think itâs the most
defined sounding analog synth I have tried.
I even sold it once it, but while packing it for shipping I noticed one of the indicator lights not working so I ended up keeping it. I am genuinely happy this happened.
And donât forget the randomizer function. Crazy modular like sounds to be had with a few tries.

The implementation is not the same.
Not all matrixes / modulation sections are created equal.
Ok Elektron I donât have to change pages to alter lfo destination vs lfo depth&speed.
On Waldorf I do. It slows down the process.
Of course itâs a great synth, itâs a Waldorf!

I just ordered one.
Question for the owners : how fast does it respond to incoming CCs ? Can you automate the filter cutoff in a steppy way ? How fast does it respond to PC messages ?
Thanks !
There seems to be some smoothing to the filter cutoff. Possibly other parameters, too.
So maybe not as snappy as youâd wish.
But I donât really have an issue with that at all, it feels quite musical that way.
Itâs super fast on program changes, great fun!
And has a lovely sound.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the answer. Itâs a pity for the filter cutoff, though. It became a very important aspect of my sequencing habits.
Bear in mind that you need some smoothing to avoid the stepping artefacts when sweeping the filter over a 7 bit range.
Most people by far will prefer a smoothed response over 128 discrete values. If you remember reviews from that period of early affordable analogues, always a huge talking point.
Same with the BS2, although I find Novation went a bit overboard with the filtering of the filtering. It wonât keep up with faster cc or wheel modulation. Pulse will, but thereâs still what feels like a few ms of glide if you feed it non-continuous cc values. As I said before, it has a kind of musical vibe to it that I really like.
That being said, a linear CV input for the cutoff frequency would be dope.
Iâll see when itâs home ! The BS2 is indeed THE standard of unbearable cutoff smoothing.

I bought the MonstrumPulse editor and vst plugin. Using
Ableton Live 11.I canât control the Pulse 2 hardware from vst MonstrumPulse.Iâve probably got something wrong in the midi in Ableton.
Could you tell me where Iâm going wrong?
Iâm working in Win 10.
thanks for any advice.
