Rich Oscillators, Dual Sequencers, and CV Connectivity

The Analogue Solutions Impulse Command semi-modular synthesizer offers a ton of creative potential for creating melodic and percussion loops. At its core, you have two voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled filter, two envelope generators, two LFOs, and digital reverb and delay effects. The real magic happens within Impulse Command’s Sequercizer, a 16-step analog sequencer that encourages real-time experimentation. And with an array of CV inputs and outputs to create custom patches or to interface with your other modular synth gear, there’s a lot to love about the Analogue Solutions Impulse Command synthesizer.

MIDI note sequencer and analog Sequercizer

You’ll find two sequencers on the Impulse Command synthesizer — a 16-note MIDI note sequencer, and a 16-step analog sequencer. The MIDI note sequencer allows you to record in bass lines and melodies from a MIDI source, and the analog sequencer lets you add complexity and evocative modulations when you route it to the VCF or to its own CV output. Synthesists at Sweetwater love the ability to combine the best creative aspects of MIDI sequencing and analog sequencing.

ReOrder! creates new melodies from your sequence

After you have a melodic sequence looping on the Impulse Command synthesizer, use the ReOrder! function to generate completely new melodies from your existing sequence. This isn’t the same as a randomize function — it’s much more musical, perfect for creating evolving melodic lines on the fly.

Analogue Solutions Impulse Command Synthesizer Module Features:

  • Semi-modular analog synthesizer module with stereo output
  • 7 CV inputs and 8 CV outputs for creating complex patches or integrating with other modular synths
  • Dual analog oscillators and single voltage-controlled filter
  • 2 envelope generators and two LFOs for modulation
  • 16-step MIDI note sequencer plus 16-step analog sequencer
  • ReOrder! function creates new melodies from your sequencer, more musical than randomize
  • Analog sequencer can be routed to patch, VCF-L, VCF-R, and CV out
  • Built-in reverb and delay effects

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Magic in a box

Analogue Solutions Impulse Command 72 hour ownership review.

Hey SweetPeeps, I wanted to give some feedback on this crazy awesome synth. This was the first synth I ever bought and for me it's super perfect. Because it's new to me I can't address a lot of topics but I was able to sync it to a KORG Electribe 2 on day one and have it beat match, and I plugged a Moog Theremini into the CV control and it had a very cool effect. The result was a constantly evolving percussion that was like chocolate and peanut butter with the beat-box.

There is a lifetime of exploration and surprises in this box, which is super heavy duty with top quality knobs and feel. I am so glad I bought it. It might not give you the predictable, repeatable results of a 'traditional' synth but I can already tell it's going to be a 'gig maker' as I can tweak knobs on it all night long finding new sounds.

The two modulators and the built-in sequencing options give you infinite complexity and the mysterious interior routing and effects will take you where you never expected to go. It's got the magic, that's for sure.

I've only looked at a tiny bandwidth of what this thing can do but I can tell you that it's worth every penny, it's got lots of 'stuff' to play with, and the configuration is so special that you can get a lot of sounds out of it whereas you might need to get several components from other makers to have a similar range of options.

Get it. It's the real deal. There's so much there. You can do so many things with it. You'll never get bored with it and you'll probably never get another kit that can do what it does. Just get it.
Rated 4.5/5

This guy in the over review has no idea.

If you like out of this world sounds and to add an awesome percussive element to your mix, this is it. To experience the full joy of this unit, it must be run through stereo speakers (2 speakers) and you'll understand what all the fuss is about. Warning. Be prepared to get nothing done with this thing sitting in your studio. You start messing about and next thing you know, 2 hours has gone buy. I'm quite chuffed by this purchase and this thing is an awesome bit of kit.

Just noise

If you don't want to make anything musical, this is a good toy for you. Yes, it makes cools sounds but there is nothing musical about it. There are much better synths out there to make experimental music, unique sounds and remain in a musical realm.
Rated 1/5

Just noise

In the description it says, "After you have a melodic sequence looping on the Impulse Command synthesizer"........ well I never could create a melodic sequence and did not find anything musical about this device. The documentation that was provided online only was extremely limited and vague. I found it to be an expensive noise box and don't recommend it to anyone unless you want to spend a lot of money on a device that prides itself on knob turns and big hopes for some semblance of musicality. I know Analogue Solutions is considered a company that makes unique instruments but this was a big letdown. I do not recommend it to anyone unless you have a chance to try before you buy in case you find it usable. Note, I'm not a noob and am an experienced musician so the end user was not the problem. I devoted an entire weekend working with it, patching, etc and never found anything good to say about it other than the color red is nice.
