Puremagnetik Releases Sage Spectral Delay

Puremagnetik has released Sage, which they describe as a sophisticated spectral processor, drawing inspiration from the iconic but discontinued Native Instruments Spektral Delay plugin. They say that it offers advanced capabilities in crafting shimmering rhythmic patterns and manipulating subtle harmonic overtones.

A spokesperson told us, "By dissecting and modulating audio across the frequency spectrum, Sage can reveal hidden layers of sound, introducing rich textures and evolving sonic landscapes that were previously unnoticed."

Here's an overview of Sage's key features direct from Puremagnetik...

• Spectral Processing: Sage divides incoming audio into up to 1024 frequency bands using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. Each of these bands can then be delayed, modulated, and processed individually.

• Frequency-Dependent Delays: You can control the delay time, feedback, and amplitude for each frequency band independently. This allows for highly intricate and evolving delay effects, such as creating complex rhythmic patterns or spatial effects based on different frequencies in the input signal.

• Advanced Modulation: Sage also includes modulation options for each frequency band, allowing for dynamic changes to the delay and filtering, making it possible to achieve shifting and morphing sound textures.

• Creative Sound Design: Sage excels in experimental sound design, as it allows for a wide range of creative effects that go beyond typical delays, such as spectral smearing, rhythmic filtering, and complex echoing textures.

• Graphical Interface: The user interface provides a graphical display of the frequency spectrum, making it easier to adjust the delay and feedback for specific frequency bands visually.

• Sage can function as an effect plugin, allowing real-time processing of incoming audio or the processing of audio files directly from disk.

* Sage is a consolidated version of Puremagnetik's discontinued Lore plugin. Many of the extra features were cut to focus on an optimized spectral delay effect.

Minimum Requirements
• OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 (Puremagnetik Plugins run as M1/2 Native)
• Audio Units or VST/VST3 compatible audio host

Pricing and Availability:
Sage is available for introductory pricing of $15 through September. Standard pricing will be $35.
