Slava Ukraini
Pulsar is a longforgotten Ukrainian preset drum machine that was produced at the Elektrovimiruvach military plant. Now, thanks to TripleTech, you can have it on your iOS device.
Said to be “95% identical” to the 30-yearold hardware, Pulsar-ES has eight pads for the eight included drum sounds. You can use these to improvise over the included presets, of which there are 64. These cover not only pop, rock and dance styles, but also the likes of hopak, polka, kazachok and rasputin. If you need any further incentive to pay the £5 that Pulsar-ES costs, 20% of all sales will be donated to Ukrainian support. www.tripletechaudio.com
