    Just come across this instrument and it’s obviously a modern classic up there with the greats and I’m a bit surprised that it hasn’t had more influence on music as its been around for a few years now. We need a Pulsar 23 master to maybe change how music sounds.

    this is amazing, you're a very concise and clear teacher. Also i would easily buy an album of your pulsar/hapax experiments, the groove you had going at the end was awesome. I'm drawn to a similar approach to 'harvesting' rythms that sound organic, swingy and natural, things you either can't get from grid sequencing alone or a combination of grid sequencing, morphing and melting and restructuring linear patterns on the fly. Bruce Haack called it a future where artists put down their mallets and stop bashing alloys into shape in favor of plucking recalcitrant sound fish from liquid circuitry. I watched a few harpax videos after this because i never heard of it, but the fact that it be programmed to do tempo fluctuations and certain tracks can be set to phase in an out against steadier time keeping tracks is exactly what I've been searching for. The combination of the 23 and harpax seems like an opportunity for a lot of what I'm wanting to explore. Would you recommend the harpax as a controller or do you think theirs something else now that rivals it?

    Hey Mick here, I think yes the Hapax makes for a fantastic controller. I personally don’t like the drum mode on it as you cannot polymeter each drum lane of the drum tracks, but this is easily remedied by just using different tracks for each drum voice. However for drum programming, the Pulsar is very good by itself, though if you have an iPad, Patterning is an extremely fun and intuitive percussion sequencer well worth checking out.
