Pulsark
Pulsark is a sample-based groovestation for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Every sound starts as a sample: record it, chop it and make it yours. Then build rhythms across 16 tracks, mix with console-style controls and arrange full songs – standalone, or as an AUv3 inside your host.
Pulsark is developed and published by VAAG Fabrikat.
