Psychic Modulation PulsCode is a new creative drum machine plugin that recreates the vibe and sound of vintage drum machines using 12 and 13-bit sound content!
Psychic Modulation, developer of the Phonec 2 Synthesizer has relesaed today PulseCode, a new vintage inspired drum machine plugin for PC & Mac. The plugin features content that is resampled vintage gear in 12 and 13-bit (late 80s). All this is powered by a creative 64-step pattern sequencer with some clever features.
Overview
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 its 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.
