At NAMM 2026 back in January, Marc Daniel Nelson sat down on camera to talk about the work he and Pulsar have been doing together. The conversation traces both collaborations, the P455 MDN Sidecar that started it and the P821 MDN Tape that followed, and Marc opens up on the secret behind the two converters paired with the P455.

Now Live

Zorba v1.1.3

The latest update brings MIDI-Learn with full mapping management, so you can save, load, and recall default mapping sets. Polyphonic aftertouch arrives as a per-voice source reaching 20 destinations, joined by a new dedicated breath controller source. And the modulation matrix now runs 208 routes, up from 174.

Own Zorba already? Update to v1.1.3 from your account or straight from the product page, and the new sources appear in the matrix immediately.

MAS built a full lo-fi track where every sound but the drums came from Zorba, and put together a dedicated collection of lo-fi presets now included with the instrument.
