Formerly payware but now available as a free download, de la mancha's PULS is a monophonic pulse wave synthesizer with simple controls but complex sounds. de la mancha says that, from 2 pulse wave oscillators you can get chunky basses, scorching leads, retro chiptune, dusty lofi and oddball noises.

A spokesperson told us, "With an unusual isometric pixel-art interface , what PULS lacks in knobs, it makes up for in sound. It features custom pulse waveforms, unison, oscillator sync and ring modulation for some big 'n' dirty sound potential, with a tempo-sync LFO for pulse width modulation (PWM) as well as detune and volume modulation."
