PulseCode v1.2 VST/AU Drum Machine
PulseCode is a PCM Drum Machine that pays tribute to the gritty, lo-fi sounds from the late 1980s.
PulseCode takes a different approach to “sample-based drum synthesis”, using strategic layering concepts that are based on the various techniques used by producers of that era to get massive drums sounds.
All of the sounds supplied with PulseCode have been resampled in 12 and 13-bit with vintage gear to stay true to the era. Gated reverb is effortless with PulseCode, as each sound includes it’s own sampled 13-bit reverb layer recorded from a vintage unit from the same time period.
These techniques can usually be tedious and time consuming, but with PulseCode they are second nature.
The result is that big drum sound so prevalent in the 80s and often heard in EBM, Industrial, Electro, Coldwave, SynthPop and Synthwave.
But PulseCode is designed for experimentation and can easily be taken into uncharted territory for a more modern approach to these styles and beyond.
