Polydactyl makes it easy to precisely sculpt the dynamics of your audio tracks. Whether you're mixing a full band, tightening up a track, or just looking for creative inspiration, Polydactyl has you covered.
Polydactyl was designed for transparent multiband dynamics processing, perfect for mixing and mastering. Its huge range of controls allows for extreme and transformative effects, too: use it as a powerful sound-design tool to completely transform and synth or sample. Each stage has separate controls for dynamics and distortion, making it easy to dial in the perfect amount of compression, noise gating, expansion, and limiting on each adjustable band with ease. Weight controls for Pre and Post stages control how the plugin responds to your signal. Individual Link controls for each stage make it easy to adjust all four split bands at once. Polydactyl also features lookahead for transparent gain reduction.
Need some inspiration? Polydactyl also comes with a range of presets to get you started, from subtle and transparent to aggressive and in-your-face. If those don’t grab you, though, try the random and nudge buttons to get your creative juices flowing. Polydactyl will change the way you approach sound design.
Like all Noise Engineering plugins, Polydactyl comes with an extensive internal modulation matrix with LFOs, envelopes, and step sequencers – plus, modulators have adjustable randomization for easy humanization.
Our plugins come with free updates for the lifetime of the product. As long as we make the plugin, it will be supported, and if you buy a plugin, it is yours. We do not provide access to old versions. Our goal is to support operating system versions currently supported by Microsoft and Apple. You will be able to update all plugin(s) you purchase for free. Updates may include bugfixes or feature adds.

Processor Information
Our Intel compatible plugins require the SSE4.1 instruction set. This was added in the Intel 45nm Penryn architecture in 2007. Compatible AMD processors are Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Ryzen families.
In the Macverse any Mac built after 2010 should have the required instructions.
This is a minimum required specification
For optimal experience we recommend Intel's Haswell or later and AMD's Ryzen family. We also recommend Apple's desktop CPUs (M1 and friends).
We do not provide access to old versions. Our goal is to support operating system versions currently supported by Microsoft and Apple.
