It is a late unit, clean, fully responsive, sounds like a beast.
Ideal for collectors or studios that care about gear.
The Plus is the best and most sought-after version of the original Waldorf Pulse.
The differences between the regular Pulse and the Pulse Plus are remarkable, and turn the Plus into a Swiss army knife for modern studios:
MIDI to CV/Gate converter with two CV signals.
It can interface different brands of synths and modules by selecting different voltages, and use the extensive modulation matrix on the CV signals.
CV/Gate inputs to control the Pulse with a modular or from other CV/Gate synths or controllers
External Audio Input to the filter, which is the best version (moog ladder type) of the 24dB LP filter in Waldorf 4Pole "Miniworks".
If you do not know, the Pulse is a serious vintage synth that oozes power and electricity.
As soon as you hear it live, you will realize instantly that it has nothing to do with modern offerings.
Seriously, do not be fooled by its appearance, this thing sounds open, has incredibly fast envelopes and punches very hard, much in the lines of a minimoog or a vintage roland. You will hardly find a better bass machine, it is second to none.
You will see many demos using aggresive sounds, as Waldorf allowed it to saturate the filter by design; however, it can be gentle as well, just by leaving the output of the oscillators to the filter at about 50%, and it will sound very much like a Roland filter.
The allowed frequency range is FULL, so be careful with your speakers... and the filter can also self-oscillate, yielding pure sine signals that are a real blessing for subs, or to make piercing glitches or sounds.
Last... it has a powerful internal modulation matrix and a groovy arpeggiator with panning. The synth responds incredibly well to midi, and there are plenty of VST and IPad editors (and also some hardware programmers) with which you can make easier to edit or perform with the Pulse."
