ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION
PULSWERK's sound arsenal was created with top-of-the-line analog and digital gear by renowned sound designer Denis G kdag. Its 20 Special Kits come with custom patterns using chords, bleeps, glitches, drones, pads, and other pitched sound sources to deliver tight, pulsing sounds that cut through a mix with scalpel-like precision.
Carve out your own distinct tracks for the dancefloor with this groove construction toolkit.
SONIC MORPHOLOGY
PULSWERK is loaded with a set of inspiring Multi-Effect Kits custom chains of MASCHINE's onboard effects that load just like a drum kit into one of MASCHINE's groups. Pads feature pre-sequenced chains that automatically sync to the track tempo for precise, rhythmic sound morphing.
Route any sound or group an effect chain, and start tweaking record parameter automation and easily further route those chains into others for expansive, evolving textures.
FORGING THE BEAT
The man behind PULSWERK's signature sounds is Denis G kdag the creator ofTRANSISTOR PUNCH, and the name behind Surround SFX and Zynaptiq. To create each sound, Denis ran vintage and modern hardware synths, softsynths, drum machines, and modular units through select, high-end outboard gear carefully chosen for their character. Another round of processing added extra attitude, clarity, and punch for pro sound out of the box.
