In this demo, we're running a beat made on the @weareelektron Model:Cycles into two PUMPs. Slow attack and fast release lets the transients poke through, and a hint of AtMod emphasizes them even more. Detector HP helps to stop low frequencies from swamping out the compressor.

In this demo, we utilize PUMP solely as a saturator with no compression enabled. Set PUMP to its 1:1 mode (no Ratio LEDs lit), enable the Saturator, and crank it up!⁠ This beat was created on the @weareelektron Model:Cycles.

Spice up your synths with PUMP! In this demo, we start with a chill synth loop created on the @weareelektron Model:Cycles and add some dirt using PUMP's Saturator. This circuit uses Germanium diodes to soft clip and smooth out peaks while adding some pleasing harmonic content.
