Punchiness: Evolver v. Pulse

2002-11-11 by Ravi Ivan Sharma

The Waldorf Pulse is undoubtedly a punchy monosynth. I find the Evolver to
be slightly less punchy although pretty punchy in general. I have been doing
A-B comparisons with my Pulse and I am feeling that the Pulse's Osc seem
slightly more middy than the Evovler's and that the VCA attack is just a bit
harder on the Pulse.

So the question: Is the Pulse punchier? If so, why? What is it about the
Waldorf?

Or is it something else, like the filter in the Pulse being more overdriven
or something?

If anyone here has both, I would be interested in your detailed observations
on this topic--the hope being that we can isolate the magic dust and have
that added to the Evolver . . .
