Soundtoys PrimalTap 5

The PrimalTap 5 provides an indistinguishable sound from the Prime Time-style delay hardware capturing the distinctive sonic signature and character whilst hugely expanding on the functionality and performance as a plug-in for your DAW. Well-loved among musicians and engineers for its unique character and parameters PrimalTap brings to life the quirky and unique parameters such as Multiply Adjust and the LFO that stray away from conventional delay settings to allow you to create something completely new and unique. Featuring a limitless feedback amount and 512 milliseconds of delay time as well as a Freeze function PrimalTap gives you endless decay to play with allowing you to create infinite loops warped delays and grungy atmospheric echos and everything in between all with the same grit and tone that made the original a staple in the recording music studio. The unique Multiply feature doubles the delay time and halves the sampling rate at each interval up to eight times letting you add a new layer of sonic colouration to your tone to carve your sonic signature. Encouraging you to perform with the effect PrimalTap is much more than a traditional set and forget delay plug-in instead you should experiment with adjusting parameters in the middle of a delayed phrase to create evolving and expansive repeats that can completely change the way you approach your delay effects in your projects. Please Note: This product comes in the form of a digital download code that will be sent to your email for activation.

The Primal sound Modelled after a unique and fabled digital delay effects processer PrimalTap delivers the same unique characteristics that made the original hardware popular amongst artists in the 80s for rich guitar delay chorus and flange. The attraction to the original unit was the Multiply feature a parameter that enabled you to double the delay time and half the sample rate on each turn up to eight times. This lead to some unique and unusual delays that rewrote the rules on what a traditional delay effect should sound like allowing you to explore long lo-fi loops warped delays grungey atmospheric echoes and classic spacey delays all in one plug-in. Twist and shout Much more than simply a set and forget delay unit PrimalTap requires a hands-on approach to get the best of it. Treat PrimalTap as an instrument more than an effect and you will reap the benefits of a completely unique soundscape that will sound nothing like anyone else stamping your sonic signature. Explore automating each parameter in a recorded phrase to find the oddities that pique your interest and give your tracks a unique flavour that stands out from the rest. The Adjust dial allows you to create pitch shifting or chorus effects when moved and can be used with automation to create a host of other different effect types when used in conjunction with the other parameters available in PrimalTap. What sets it apart from traditional delays is the input dial that when pushed will drive your sound into a unique saturation that simply isnt possible with traditional delays. VCO Modulation Much like the big brother hardware original PrimalTap includes a VCO section to add modulation to your delay trails. Here you can create a barrage of different effects from the subtle to the extreme including tap-flanging chorus-like effects pitch-drifting echos shimmering octave harmonies and much more. Think of the classic 80s clean electric guitar tone and here is your answer. Unlike the original hardware unit PrimalTap lets you take control over the rate of the VCO letting you go into the audio frequency range to create robotic ring-modulation effects as well! Not limited to just instruments take any sound effect that you may have in your contemporary film score and you can drastically change the landscape of your sound to warbling creature sounds that will fit perfectly with any contemporary silver screen cinematic sci-fi adventure. Chill your audio with Freeze In the most basic of description Freeze lets you loop a section of audio from a slice that you chose from an incoming signal either synced to host BPM tempo or via a length you set manually. When used in conjunction and adjusted with Time VCO and Multiply settings this is where the real fun begins! You can quickly warp your looped audio into expanding evolving and out of this world soundscapes that can completely transform your original sound into something truly unique. Expanded functionality Pushing the envelope means that PrimalTap needed to be brought into the 21st century. Although modelled on a vintage hardware unit adjustments have been made in PrimalTap to fit the demands of modern producers and engineers by adding features and optimising the performance and sound. Included in the improvements to PrimalTap are new Feedback algorithms that offer four unique types of feedback not found on the original hardware unit allowing you to run in parallel series ping-pong and reverb. An input drive has been added to virtually send your signal into searing harmonic overdrive that can completely reshape your sound and give you grit and attitude to your delays. The delay times can now be set to sync to host BPM as well as set manually for both delay lanes to keep in time with your projects and songs. Host automation is now compatible to let your imagination run wild draw simple automation on the feedback tail to increase the wash of your trails over time or go into a manic frenzy and automate every parameter simultaneously as much or as little as you want to create completely unique sounds. Lastly the VCO that drives the LFO has been given a serious upgrade by providing you with four different options for the waveshape letting you tailor your tone to your mix much easier than ever before along with an expanded VCO rate you can move it into the modulation up into audio range.
