Build a Groove with the Soma Pulsar 23 Diode

Initially more for myself than as a tutorial, I recorded this video. Exploring the working of the diode on the Pulsar 23.

While recording I spoke to myself as a sort of note keeping, but I ended up using the audio from my phone in stead of the audio recording, so I decided to include the voice over and add some CC for you non-Dutch speakers 😎

This video can be used as an inspiration or guideline on the use of the diode, as it's somewhat of a mystery to a lot of people (not excluding myself). Loving the Soma instruments!

Be sure to let me know if you liked it and found it helpful in any way!
