Another clever module from SSF, Impulse Dynamics offers an easy way to bring velocity control to your LPGs, drums, envelopes, filters and VCAs. It generates pulses and envelopes and lets you control them dynamically, really bringing patches to life. DivKid’s demo video shows some smart ways to use it.
Manufacturer's description
Impulse Dynamics offers a simple way to produce discrete, dynamic transients within your modular system. The effect of the dynamic transient, or impulse, is synonymous to controlling the velocity within a DAW or keyboard synthesizer. However, achieving this utility within the modular ecosystem has not been streamlined into a single module, until now.
Applications: Velocity control for LPGs, Drums, SLEWs, Envelopes, VCFs, VCAs. Pulse Width Modulation, Synchronizing CV and Audio and other Digital VCA duties.
This 6HP utility offers a few additional useful features including the ability to convert any positive transition into a positive trigger or gate with manual and voltage-controlled WIDTH, as well as a simultaneous decay envelope that tracks the WIDTH controls.
While dedicated PULSE and ENV outs provide the static Gate and Decay Envelope, an integrated digital VCA offers the ability to control the velocity dynamics of these signals individually via a dedicated Dynamics Output (DYN OUT). The Dynamics VCA is not limited to operating on the integrated PULSE or ENV. Any external signal may be velocity controlled via the EXT IN jack and toggling to the proper selection via the DYNAMICS switch.
A fourth handy sample-and-hold output labeled STEP, returns the instantaneous voltage sampled directly from the Dynamic VCA’s LEVEL control voltage input.
The digital VCA is triggered whenever the signal patched into TRIG or EXT IN (via normalization) exhibits a positive zero crossing, which then synchronously samples the CV patched into the LEVEL input. The voltage controlling the VCA is held for the duration until the next trigger or zero crossing is detected. Therefore, any signal’s velocity may be discretely amplitude controlled using the Dynamics VCA.
Features
- Convert any positive signal into a variable width GATE and DECAY ENV – 0.1ms to 15s
- Three WIDTH range modes
- PULSE/DECAY Width control voltage input with attenuator
- Digitized dynamics VCA for controlling velocity and syncing signals
- Three-way Dynamics VCA input selection switch for internal/external signals
- VCA Level control voltage input with attenuator
- VCA Level Sample-and-Hold output
- Manual control over WIDTH and DYNAMICS via 30mm sliders
- Width: 6HP
- Depth: 23mm
- Power: 38 mA +12V / 15 mA -12V / 0 mA 5V

Shipping methods
All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:
- UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
- UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.
Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.
Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)
The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

| Sweden | 3–5 |
These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
