Description : PulseCode is a PCM drum machine that pays homage to the sandy, lo-fi sounds of the late 1980s. PulseCode takes a different approach to “sample-based drum synthesis,” using operational overlay concepts based on various techniques used by manufacturers of that era to produce massive drum sounds.
All sounds supplied with PulseCode were sampled in 12 and 13-bit vintage equipment to stay true to the era. A gated reverb has been applied and each sound includes its own sampled 13-bit reverb layer recorded on a vintage device with a repeating period of time. These methods can usually be tedious and time consuming, but with PulseCode this is the tenth thing. The usual sound of a big drum so widespread in the 80s and often heard in EBM, Industrial, Electro, Coldwave, SynthPop and Synthwave in PulseCode can be used for experiments and can be easily transferred to uncharted territory for a more modern approach to these styles.
Here’s a quick overview of some of the key PulseCode features :
Drum Technology – Each drum sound supplied with PulseCode consists of several layers that you can mix and customize to create unique drum sounds. Add the Grit parameter for the lo-fi crunch. Add the Hit parameter for the top hit. Add the Body parameter for low frequencies. Add reverb for great sound. Add noise where necessary.
Resampled for maximum crunch – All layers of each sound have been re-sampled using vintage equipment to create a truly authentic sound with many characteristics. Each sound has a special Grit layer designed to bring in the most crunchy aspects of classic lo-fi sampling.
Gated Reverb – Each drum sound includes its own reverb layer, captured from a block of vintage effects and resampled from a classic sampler. The reverb can be altered, filtered and gated, giving your drums the perfect backdrop for this famous 80s sound.
Pattern Sequencer – PulseCode uses a versatile 64-step pattern sequencer to create and execute rhythms using interesting accents and loses. Each drum can change its speed and length, making the creation of polyrhythmia easy. Pattern offsets allow you to adjust its starting point, with the ability to create four different options that can be launched in real time.
Flow parameter – Instantly transfer and change static sequences using a single Flow control. The Flow parameter can be adjusted and shifted to modulate volume, attenuation, and pan. Complete this by adding a little instability to the sequence.
The Fracture parameter allows you to change the rhythm with the help of builds, breaks and wild stuttering, using a single control for each reel. Slide the knob to the right to build insanity, slide to the left to completely collapse the sequence. Release the control and it will start working again.
Fill Arpeggiator – Create custom beats and rolls that you can play on your midi keyboard, perfect to the beat of your pattern sequencer. Use the Velocity Grid to give some movement. Pitch Envelope will swing the pitch up or down for classic drum roll effects. Set the speed independently of the sequencer for fast rolls or slow flickers. Play multiple drum notes at the same time to create cyclic arpeggios and unusual grooves.
Drum Mixer – Mix the entire beat with individual volume and pan, and redirect each drum to its own audio channel to add external effects.
Full control – Assign Fracture parameters with Pitchwheel, Flow with Modwheel and Pattern Offsets with just one slider, and all this while playing the arpeggiator on the keyboard, and you will completely control the drum machine.


Brutalist drums expansion:

 Developer’s site : psychicmodulation
Brutalist is an expansion pack for the PulseCode drum machine, containing over 100 8-bit drums that were sampled using the legendary Mirage sampler, capturing its lo-fi, sandy character. Brutalist is ideal for Industrial and EBM, as well as for the genres Drum & Bass, HipHop and Lo-Fi.
Each drum has been carefully crafted and compiled as sound elements that contain multiple layers. These layers can be tuned and used in PulseCode to get completely different sounds from one source sample. Get the extra “lo-fi” effect by mixing the “Grit” layer, which was resampled at a much lower discrediting rate using the old-school sampling method.
