Pulsar 23 BD

A GAME CHANGER FOR YOUR SOUND

Pulsar 23 BD is the only official virtual Bass Drum plug-in built to give you the sound, character and best features of the original BD module from the legendary drum machine SOMA Laboratory Pulsar 23.

The sound that will blow your mind!

We developed Pulsar 23 BD using the official diagrams of Pulsar 23, originally designed by genius Vlad Kreimer and SOMA Laboratory – he tested and approved our Pulsar 23 BD plugin by himself!

We also added features not available in the hardware version: dynamic and chromatic triggering that allow you to transform your Pulsar 23 BD kick drum into a solid and fat bass line, the TUNE parameter so for the first time you can change by Hz or key — and many more.
