Pulse 2 : Very versatile synth

Like said in the manual, the modulation matrix is the heart of Pulse 2. This takes the synth from basic subtractive synthesis into the world of modular synthesis. The mod matrix is also one of the few things that actually makes use of the fairly large lcd screen - all 8 modulation routes are displayed at once. Hopefully a future firmware update will make more use of the screen elsewhere, eg. visual ADSR envelope or the ability to see all the parameters at once as a list, etc.

At the time of writing (summer 2014), there is still no news about the upcoming FX board, but I have high hopes for it. The drive circuitry is quite nice.

Very adjustable CV and GATE OUT's are definitely a nice bonus if you have other analog gear.
