PULSAR-23 SCREW RUST: all the power, more affordable price

PULSAR-23 SCREW RUST is the alternative version of Soma Laboratory's celebrated organismic drum machine. In this edition, the custom turrets are replaced by screws-a technical choice that keeps **identical functionality**, but **reduces production costs**, making it more affordable.

23-module semi-modular organismic architecture

Like the Turret version, the SCREW RUST integrates 4 drum channels, event loop recorder, extended LFO, analog FX and the Shaos generator, as well as MIDI and CV controls that can be used simultaneously.
