PULPOLUNAR

Three instruments. One wire.

PULPOLUNAR is the product family of the ZRGRT: three original software instruments that run standalone and play together over a single NYDUS wire —

  • CATCH-22 — the twin Soviet-chip stereo filter (2 × 12 dB Soviet-chip-style multimode cells, UD1208 mismatch, LINK FREQ/CV, three wiring topologies).
  • PULPO-23 — the organismic semi-modular drum machine (23 modules, 0–10 V patch ecology, looper-recorder, SHAOS, MIDI-to-CV).
  • LUNAR-24 — the microtonal ambient drone workstation (8 voices, 45 effect cartridge programs, 12-plate arc keyboard, patchbay graph).

The headline feature is the family session: three instruments, three processes, one wire — LUNAR-24 follows PULPO-23's clock, CATCH-22 filters the room, and everything is captured as heard. No samples, no overdubs.

Product law

  1. Product surface is PULPOLUNAR — one word, all caps, no space, no hyphen, no camel case. The instrument names are component names inside the product.
  2. Branding hygiene — every public surface says inspired by classic hardware; never "recreation of", "implementation of", or any phrasing that implies endorsement or affiliation with a hardware manufacturer. Factual, nominative references are fine in documentation; product surfaces stay generic.
  3. One Steam product — one AppID, one store page, one price, one review pool. The three instruments are content of the single product, not DLC.
  4. All audio is synthesized in code — no samples anywhere, in any instrument, ever.
  5. Artist/label is ZRGRT — music and recordings credit ZRGRT, never a manufacturer-adjacent alias.
