01Overview

The Pulse is a Kontakt instrument aimed at composers and producers who want a starting point for rhythmic electronic material. Instead of static loops, it uses a dynamic ensemble engine that reshapes simple chord and beat ideas into fuller arrangements. Sonuscore says it draws on the engine and interface of its earlier library The Score, with extensive changes and additions. The sound set covers basses, drum kits, leads, plucks, pads and orchestral colors, plus 80 or more customizable sessions.

03In depth

Sound Palette and Real-Time Generation

The Pulse includes more than 100 sounds across basses, drum kits, leads, plucks, ambient pads and orchestral textures. The dynamic ensemble engine generates evolving, pulse-driven material in real time, so a simple idea can develop into a longer pattern without manual programming.

Sonuscore describes the library as built by professional composers and producers working across several genres, including Techno, IDM, Synthwave and Trap. The orchestral colors are meant to sit alongside the electronic sounds for hybrid scoring.

Workflow, Control and MIDI Export

The sessions give you 80 or more starting points, which can be adjusted at the level of beats, melodies and effects. This makes The Pulse useful both as a sketchpad for new ideas and as a tool for finishing tracks.

You can export MIDI from The Pulse and edit the result in your DAW, so generated parts can be reshaped to fit a full arrangement.
