What's new

Pulsers, version by version

What changed since the first alpha, newest first.

  1. Improvements

    1.0.9
    • AI agents page: its terms open on “Everything is yours”: your drafts, your photo and your agent's access
    • Fix: a patch's printed sheet shows the cables hanging below the panel, as on screen, with the room they need at the bottom of the sheet: they were cut at the panel's edge
    • Your data: audience measurement now keeps the browser's name and major version, to tell visitors from robots better; neither your IP address nor the browser's details are kept
    • Fix: Claude Code can connect to Pulsers: its return address, on your machine, was refused at authorization
    • New Behringer modules: the RS-9, a 10-track rhythm sequencer in 52 HP, and the BDS-3, a four-channel analog drum synthesizer in 70 HP, in the module library: they sit in a rack's 3U row and are cabled like any module; their synths are unchanged
  2. Improvements

    1.0.8
    • New home page: your patches first, a full row of modules at scale, the library's current figures, and the two ways to bring a rack in from a photo, with your AI agent (free) or the Pulsers analysis (in credits); new typefaces, narrow Archivo for headings and IBM Plex Sans for text, in both themes; the footer invites you to connect your AI agent
    • One page for AI agents: connecting yours (Claude, ChatGPT, Le Chat, Claude Code) in four steps, what to ask it, what is yours, free, and the Pulsers analysis for those without an agent; new My agent page, in the account menu: your connected agents, what they made and removing their access
    • The AI agents guide tells a real case: a conversation with Claude Desktop replayed step by step, from a question about a wobble bass to the patch wired on its author's rack
    • Your AI agent gives you the sheet to print for one of your patches: its link opens the patch with a "Print the sheet" button, in black lines with the settings marked in pink
    • ACL Variable Sync VCO and Intellijel Atlantix: the positions of the FREQ switch (HIGH, MID, LOW) and of the Atlantix's 27 switches (VCA DRIVE SYM, OFF, ASYM, VCO B LFO or VCO, VCF HP, BP or LP...) are named, for the AI patch generator and AI agents
  3. Improvements

    1.0.7
    • Light theme: the sun and the moon, at the top of every page, switch the site from dark to light, and it stays as you left it.
    • A warmer light theme: the page on an ivory ground, and what is selected (the menu's section, the current page, the view) as a slate button with lime text.
    • Faders laid sideways (the Softpop SP2's FINE-TUNE, RESONANCE and POP, Basil, Crust, Pizza, Dark Matter, Ikarie): they now follow the hand along their own direction instead of jumping from one end to the other.
    • Tiptop Buchla 248t: its programming can now be set, its 16 stages in a window, its lamps lit for the stage shown, its 12 memories, its key and scale; printed, a badge on the module leads to its filled-in Functions Score sheet, one per memory.
    • Home page: a one-minute video shows all of Pulsers, from a patched rack to a cabled table.
  4. Usability

    1.0.6
    • Tables: your synths and racks set down together, cabled to one another.
    • Synths go on a table; a rack holds modules only.
    • Create a table empty, with a synth, or from someone else's; set an existing patch down on it.
    • MIDI: MIDI sockets take a cable, on a channel from 1 to 16.
    • Zoom on the pages of tables, racks, modules and patches.
  5. New modules, new patches

    1.0.5
    • The official patches from the manuals: Make Noise, Moog, SOMA Lyra-8, Buchla Easel Command, Bastl Softpop SP2.
    • Three official setups: Strega + 0-CTRL, 0-COAST + 0-CTRL, Mother-32 + DFAM.
    • New modules: Mutable Peaks, ALM, 4ms Tapographic Delay, Nonlinearcircuits, Erica Synths' Pico series, Tiptop's TR-808.
    • Lights and banks that switch on with a click; silver or black panels of one module.
    • The Matriarch's rear panel takes cables.
  6. A rack from a picture

    1.0.4
    • Create a rack from a picture: drop the picture of your rack in “New rack”, Pulsers reads the modules, finds them in its library and places them, with a reliability mark for each. You keep the ones you want and the rack is created; missing modules are passed to the team. Each analysis costs one credit; credits are bought in packs and followed in My account.
    • Usernames accept any visible character: accents, symbols, emoji, ASCII art. A photo upload that fails says why and what to do. Credits offered by the team are announced by mail. On phones and tablets, the header keeps only the account icon and puts the credits in its menu; an analysis result reads without overlaps.
    • An analysis not turned into a rack yet can be found again in “New rack” and from the credits history in My account, even after leaving its page.
    • A help page “Your rack, from a photo”: the demo video, the two ways to give the picture, examples of good and bad photos, what follows the analysis, credits and frequent questions. It is linked from “New rack”, the Racks page and “How it works”. While a photo is sent, its preparation and the end are announced; during the analysis, the photo sent is shown beside the steps. Creating from a picture carries a “Beta” badge. The help page opens on the full-width video; “What happens next” shows each step as it looks on screen, and the credit rules fit in one line above the packs.
    • My account is laid out in cards (profile, language, credits) and keeps your language: chosen there or with the header's switch, it follows you on all your devices, at sign-in and in Pulsers' e-mails. On the Racks page, “from a photo of your rack” leads straight to the help. Credit packs show their price per analysis, the saving and what they suit.
  7. A patch to print, tidier editors

    1.0.3
    • Export the image “As a plan”: the panel black on white, every setting marked in fluorescent pink (a needle on knobs, a bar on faders, an arrow or the chosen option underlined on switches), to read the patch next to the instrument.
    • Rack and patch editors: the mode, Delete and Save always stay in the same place; the cable colour and the tags fold away.
    • The plan fits one A4 sheet, turned the way that prints it largest. The arrows on the Filtopia's rockers laid on their side now point the right way. Jacks show only their inside, and Doepfer knobs are no longer drawn the size of their shadow nor off their axis.
    • Export the image “As a poster” for a rack patch: the plan enlarged over 1, 2, 4 or 6 A4 sheets, or at actual size, with a 10 mm overlap, crop marks, each sheet's name and an assembly page. Past two rows, one sheet per row (104 HP at most per sheet): a cable going elsewhere stops at the edge with the name of the sheet and socket it reaches, and the whole plan follows on the last page.
    • Private or public racks: a public rack changes for others only once the version is saved. Adding a row no longer reloads the page.
  8. Versions for your racks and patches

    1.0.2
    • Versions: on Save, overwrite the current version or create a new one, name it, go back to it from the editor; versions can be browsed on the rack's or the patch's page.
    • Rack editor: changes stay in a draft until “Save”, Ctrl+Z undoes, removing a module asks first, and the width changes live.
  9. More synths in the racks

    1.0.1
    • Ten more synths on the “table” rows: Mother-32, DFAM, Subharmonicon, Spectravox, Labyrinth, Filtopia, Easel Command, Pulsar-23, Lyra-8 and SY-1. The 60 HP Moogs also fit in a 3U row, and existing patches are kept.
    • New synth: Analogue Solutions Ample and its pin matrix.
    • New maker: Endorphin.es. New modules from Befaco, Erica Synths and Tiptop Audio.
    • Every module described in one sentence, followed by its key features.
    • Easel Command: the three-position GAIN switch, the fader scales retraced, and its output sockets recognised as such.
  10. Patch a whole rack

    1.0.0
    • Desktop synths (0-CTRL, Strega, 0-COAST…) sit on “table” rows at the bottom of the rack and patch with the modules.
    • Sound examples: up to 20 SoundCloud sounds or YouTube videos under each patch.
    • Racks wider than the screen: arrows to see the rest. An empty row can be removed, a rack narrowed without losing a module.
    • The Moog Matriarch redrawn from the maker's own drawing, existing patches included.
  11. Listening to you

    0.9.0
    • Feedback page: suggest an idea, vote, read the team's answers.
    • Every page has its own share picture.

    • New synths: Analogue Solutions Filtopia and Buchla Easel Command.
    • Only its author edits a patch or a rack.
  13. A community

    0.7.0
    • Member profiles: every patch has an author.
    • Automatic translation of the text you write, in French and English.
    • Search, instrument filter and tags on patches and racks.
