From the thread called: “Man on a Mission”, posted by Caleb, I've got what I think it is a VERY GOOD IDEA!
Let me explain you and please tell me what you think:
Caleb wrote: “In an effort to get the most out of the Pulsar/Scope platform, I've decided to start trying to get the most out of the synths that come included with the cards.
There's quite a few to get acquainted with, but I might force myself to make small tunes with just one or two of the provided synths so that I can gain confidence with using them in my ongoing projects.
I think in my future projects I'll also start forcing myself to use these synths as I become a bit more familiar with them to enhance my skills”.
Basing my idea in Caleb's “Man on a Mission”, I would like to proposition you a self-organized learning course made by ourselves:
“A Self-study Reference and Practice for Pulsar students".
To go through every one of our Plug-in Devices it's a well-known aspiration and goal everybody has had, since the beginning of the PlanetZ Forum. I think we have learned a lot so far, but we need to learn more…
The difficulty to get even farther has been that we have never organized the way we learn Pulsar. We are learning everything at the same time and in many different directions. Perhaps, if we join our knowledge and efforts going through a single theme till we get to the very bone of it, exhausting all mayor possibilities, we would learn Pulsar in a much shorter time. And so would those lucky ones who follow up!
This is undeniably a good moment to study together Pulsar profoundly, now that we have a basic knowledge of the platform.
I would like to put forward this practical first plan… please pay attention and get involved you too:
ONE: Building up a list of what we think are the most important things we need to know to start with; for example: the Pulsar Compressors, and so we weekly vote for the one device plug-in we want to go with.
TWO: Everybody – those who want to participate – studies the written indications in the Pulsar manual, the Internet, books, etc., and give it's own advice or point of view in the THREAD that was open specially for that purpose – for that particular plug-in Device.
THREE: We upload into the PlanetZ Music forum the file we have been experimenting with, in accordance with the theory we have just learned in the forum, explaining what we have done, why, what we wanted to achieve, etc. The file should ideally be no more than 30 seconds long, MP3 128.
If we were to really start doing it, it would be probably appropriate to post everything into the Creativity Forum. This is just information that is why it's here.
I would suggest to go from the very foundation of the use of any of the plug-ins Devices; if we were to talk about compressors, we should go first to study “what a compressor is”, “what it does” and then go into the most common uses in the market, the getting to know the most well known compressors, etc., and finally getting into experimentation as the result of our gathered knowledge.
What I mean, is that we should study EVERY device completely, without gaps as if nobody were to know anything at all, starting from a radical cero.
I really like this idea! I hope there are at least 50 people involved so we can start soon. I am suggesting studying only one kind of plug-in Device per week, because not everybody has that much free time to get involved in a daily basis.
I'm going to open a second thread with my own list of plug-ins Devices I need to know more, to get us started. Thanks for your interest!

Bizarre, cos I tour it to be yellow! Well, I'm going to modify it again, don't worry and sorry about that…
