Polydactyl Versio
Stereo-in, stereo-out multiband dynamics
processor and saturator on a DSP platform

Overview

Type Multiband dynamics
processor
Size 10 HP
Depth 1.5 inches
Power 2x5 Eurorack
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.
