overview
a closer look.
Pulsate makes it easy to create your own sidechain shapes, stutters, and rhythmic effects. choose from over 120 shapes, or draw something completely your own. from simple pumping to unusual movement, there's a lot you can do with just a few controls.
beyond sidechaining
create moving filters, rhythmic stutters, stereo movement, custom modulation, and drawable shapes. go beyond the usual volume pump.
future updates
future pulsate updates are included at no additional cost, with more shapes and creative tools planned.

snap draw
make your own shapes directly on the grid. you can add points, move them around, or give each part of the shape a different curve. it's especially useful for making your own rhythms and stutters.
free draw
draw shapes with one stroke. it can be a simple sidechain curve or something completely chaotic. you can smooth it out afterward or make it move.
rhythmic patterns
these shapes turn ordinary sounds into rhythmic patterns. try them on pads, melodies, or vocals to create chops and stutters. you can also move individual pulses around to change the rhythm.
weird shapes
hearts, smiley faces, infinity symbols, and other strange shapes. they might look ridiculous, but they actually affect the sound. pulsate follows the shape itself, which can lead to some pretty unexpected results.
moving shapes
imagine a normal sidechain curve, except it's constantly moving instead of repeating the exact same way. that's what these do. they're great for adding movement without having to draw a bunch of automation.
settings + edits
behind the + menu you can turn shapes into one-shots, use bipolar modulation, retrigger shapes with midi, and customize how drawing works.
destinations + presets
choose between gain, lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and pan. you can also link two destinations together. for example, make the volume pulse while the sound moves from left to right.
watch and listen.
