Pulse has a couple of different meanings in a modular synth. When you alter the shape of a square wave so that one portion is narrower than the other, it is referred to a pulse wave (see Pulse Wave Modulation below). Also, a narrow gate or trigger used as a clocking signal for sequencers and the such is often referred to as a pulse.
