Imagine a utility box that turns the wild, tactile patching of the Pulsar-23 into something even more intuitive, with screw terminals that grip your alligator clips securely for those marathon jam sessions.
This analog expander packs passive gems like 4 sturdy switch buttons, 2 photoresistors for light-controlled modulation, 8 touch-sensitive points to route signals through your fingertips, and 4 attenuators for precise level tweaks. Active circuits shine with 4 linear amplifiers (gain up to x25, AC/DC switching, phase inversion), a clipping VCA/limiter, 2 diode VCAs for warm harmonic grit, a warp waveshaper with curve and drive knobs, pulse converters, capacitors for bending, and LED visualizers to scope your CVs. All connections use Pulsar-style pins with screw mounts plus 3.5mm adapters, housed in a sturdy PCB build measuring 288 x 193 x 40 mm, powered by 12V DC center-positive (50mA max). It's not just for Pulsar—patch it into any CV gear like Eurorack for signal boosting, distortion, and hands-on control.
Players love how it unlocks deeper experimentation without complexity, though some note the screw version's more utilitarian vibe compared to turreted siblings.
