About This Sound

Pulse Rhythm is a soft, regular thump of noise, like a slow heartbeat or a washing machine on a gentle cycle heard from another room. Each pulse arrives quickly, drops to a quieter tail and fades, then the next one comes. It is calm rather than driving.

The color is 2.5, between white and pink, with grey EQ on so the pulse feels full rather than hissy. The envelope loop attacks in 0.1 seconds, decays over 0.3 to a 50 percent sustain, holds for 0.5 and releases over 0.8, a cycle of 1.7 seconds, or about 35 pulses a minute. There is no LFO pulse.

It suits people who like a rhythmic anchor without the aggression of the mechanical presets. Diesel Engine is the darker, faster chug at full brown, and Machine Rhythm in the experimental category multiplies this idea into four interlocking gated voices. At low volume it can also serve as a loose timekeeper for slow breathing or walking.

Best Used For

Try this: Set the duration to 0.2 and the release to 0.4 for a cycle near one second, about the pace of a resting heartbeat.
