Pulsar-23 + Cloudbusting [skip to 2:00 for audio; no talking; captions available]

The Soma Laboratories Pulsar-23 and the Error Instruments Cloudbusting Eurorack module both use pins to enable connections within their respective components by means of alligator clips. It occurred to me to try connecting the pins between the two devices. Disclaimer: compatibility of the pins between the two devices is not endorsed by either company; the pins themselves were not specifically designed to link to external hardware, although both devices are designed to work with Eurorack equipment by means of 3.5mm jacks. 

This demonstration documents what I consider the baseline level of cross-modulation between the Cloudbusting module and the Pulsar-23 patching alligator pins exclusively across the two devices. Supplementally, I patch a couple of additional points on the Pulsar-23 alone to bring in a little more tonal texture and interest to the sound. 

I do not narrate the patching with my voice, but rather using cards. I have transcribed the cards to closed captions in case you have difficulty reading my hand-printed cards. The audio from the Pulsar-23 comes in at the 2:00 mark.

Final disclaimer: if you choose to replicate this patch or another like it, you do so at your own risk. I am not liable for any damages anyone may incur to their Eurorack equipment or Pulsar-23 device if they decide to experiment in a similar manner upon watching the video.
