Ferrofish Pulse16 Reviews

Great hardware, license sold separately

This is the hardware you need to take a pulse 16 and upgrade it to have a MADI port. Do be aware that there is also a software license you need to buy to enable the module. Just buying this doesn't turn your Pulse into a Pulse MX, but this plus the license does. That isn't available from B&H, if you're in the US you need to contact Synthax USA, the Ferrorfish US distributor to buy it separately.
