Psychic Modulation has introduced PulseCode, a PCM Drum Machine that pays tribute to the lo-fi drum machine sounds from the late 1980s.

The sounds supplied with PulseCode have been resampled in 12 and 13-bit with vintage gear to stay true to the era. Each sound includes its own sampled 13-bit reverb layer, recorded from a vintage unit from the same time period.
