All new features support popular VST and Audio Unit hosts with both an Editor and Patch Librarian... in the Host or as Standalone!

The VST-AU Pulse Editor™ is a real-time MIDI synth editor that allows you full control of every parameter of the sound on the Waldorf Pulse™ and Pulse Plus™ synthesizers. You can manage, view and edit all your patches on the computer itself. All parameters are fully automatable and you can even use your favorite VST or AU host, or use it stand-alone, giving you the ability to visually program the Pulse to your music via the host sequencer, or just manage the patches in standalone mode. This ability to model your synth patches in realtime, inside your main music production environment is part of what makes the VST-AU Pulse Editor™ unique. You may also use the standalone application if you do not need to work inside the host or if your host is not supported. Now you can utilize your Pulse to its full potential and build lasting and meaningful patches that will bring new life to your music.

You can manage, view and edit all your patches on the computer itself without the hassle of manual dumps. All parameters are fully automatable using your favorite VST or AU capable DAW host, giving you the ability to visually program the Pulse to your music in the host sequencer.  This ability to model your synth patches in real-time, inside your main music production environment is part of what makes the VST-AU Pulse Editor™ unique when compared to other hardware synth editors. You may also use the standalone application if you do not need to work inside the host or if your DAW host is not supported. Please check the DAW Host Support chart below for details.

Advanced Patch Librarian

The VST-AU Pulse Editor™ includes a new advanced Patch Manager view that allows you to manage your patches and bank easily in one view. See below for some of the features.

Here's just some of the amazing and useful features the Patch Manager offers:

• Rename patches with with ease.
• Drag and drop patches or blocks from one slot to another in copy, swap or move mode.
• Highlights other patches in the bank which are 'Duplicates by Name', and 'Exact Duplicates'.
• Easily remove all 'Exact Duplicate' patches with one click to clear space for other patches.
• Undo feature allows for non-destructive editing and reversing mistakes.
• Easily copy or swap patches, blocks, or bank A and B.
• Randomize a patch or entire banks with one click.
• Clear patches or entire banks with one click.
• Add/Remove a prefix name to patches or entire banks to easily identify your patches.
• Export just the Patch names as a .txt file.
• Import your existing patch and bank libraries via System Exclusive data dump direct from the synth, or load them in from .syx files.
• Save as standard .fxp/.fxb files or native .syx file format.

MIDI Setup and Filtering

The VST-AU Pulse Editor™ is based on an entirely new framework that allows you to select the MIDI input and output ports directly from within the editor itself. This allows you to send and receive MIDI system exclusive data, a feature not found in most VST-AU hosts or our previous product offerings. You are no longer limited by host system exclusive in-capabilities.

MIDI Setup allows you to filter specific MIDI messages from all MIDI data paths from the DAW host, Editor and Synth. Absolute control of the data paths allow for complex MIDI setups that can be saved and loaded for specific applications. By using specific MIDI Setups for different instances of the plug-in, you can now use multiple instances of the plug-in for multiple machine control.

MIDI Input and Output Monitoring

The Midi Monitor view allows you to view all MIDI data coming in to and out of the VST-AU Pulse Editor™ . Easily switch between Input and Output views of both Host and Editor/Synth MIDI input and output data. You can even copy the data from the event logs for pasting and saving into standard text editors or other applications.

The Waldorf Pulse™ synthesizer...

The Waldorf Pulse™ is a rack mountable, monophonic analog synthesizer built in Germany. It sports three oscillators, two with pulse width, two LFOs, two assignable envelopes, a filter and amp section and an advanced arpeggiator. There is also a matrix of four modulation routings that are assignable by source and destination. This in part, is what gives the Pulse a unique sound characteristic. Later came the Waldorf Pulse Plus™, the same great synth, but fitted with the added capability of utilizing MIDI CV control and the ability to route external signals through the Pulse’s filter and amp sections.
