Polydactyl Versio is Noise Engineering's take on a multiband dynamics processor.
Designed for timbral processing on individual instruments as well as end-of-chain glue,
Polydactyl takes inspiration from Librae Legio's unique and transparent algorithm and
applies it across three bands for maximal dynamic impact. Add in the multiband
saturation knob, limiter, and noise gate and you have a processor that gives you
ultimate control over the color and dynamics of your sound.
Polydactyl Versio is also a DSP platform and can be transformed into a completely
different effect by loading a growing number of alternate firmwares, completely free—or
program your own firmware with open-source documentation.
Etymology
Polydactyl -- from Latin: "many, or more than the usual amount of, fingers or toes"
Versio -- from Latin: "versatile"
"Versatile Toes"
Color code
On boot, the PV's LEDs will shine with this color
pattern to indicate that it is running the current PV
firmware.

  • Page 1 Polydactyl Versio is also a DSP platform and can be transformed into a completely different effect by loading a growing number of alternate firmwares, completely free—or program your own firmware with open-source documentation.

  • Page 2: Installation

    Modules requiring warranty repair will either be repaired or replaced at Noise Engineering's discretion. If you believe you have a product that has a defect that is out of warranty, please contact us and we will work with you.
  • Page 3 Power If your Versio looks like the left picture, it requires 70mA +12v and 70mA -12v. If it looks like the right picture, it requires 125mA +12v and 10mA -12v. Versio does not use the +5v rail.

  • Page 4: Input And Output Voltages

    Interface Polydactyl Versio has two controls per band: Ceiling: Increases the level of the signal into the dynamics processor, creating more aggressive limiting. Room: This is a bipolar control: turning the knob to the left expands the signal, and turning the knob to the right compresses it.
  • Page 5 R outputs to your mixer. Start with Room and Ceiling controls centered and Sat minimized, then tweak to taste. Swapping firmware Polydactyl Versio’s firmware can be changed to a growing number of alternate firmwares via our firmware webapp. Webapp link: https://portal.noiseengineering.us/...

    We love Librae Legio for end-of-chain processing. Polydactyl Versio also works for this, but we tend to put it on single sounds (or smaller mixes) rather than at the end of the chain.
