Elevate your sound design with Puremagnetik Parsec—a revolutionary spatial manipulation device engineered to scatter sounds across the stereo field in vivid, three-dimensional space. Designed for both professional and amateur music producers, Parsec transforms ordinary audio into an immersive sonic experience, making it an essential tool for experimental sound designers, foley mixers, and game composers.
Imagine taking a single sound and unleashing it into a dynamic 3D space where every nuance is meticulously placed along the X, Y, and Z axes. Puremagnetik Parsec does exactly that by employing minute phase offsets and precision filtering to manipulate the spatial characteristics of your audio. Whether you’re working with studio speakers or diving into binaural mode with headphones, Parsec offers you unparalleled control over sound placement, allowing you to create head-spinning, immersive audio experiences that captivate your audience.
Key Features
3D Spatial Audio Processing
- Dynamic Sound Scattering: Distribute sounds across a full 3D space with precision, using adjustable phase offsets and filtering techniques.
- Multi-Dimensional Control: Precisely position audio in the stereo field by manipulating the X (left/right), Y (depth), and Z (vertical) coordinates.
Intuitive Interface & Controls
- SPEAKERS | BINAURAL Mode:
- Switch effortlessly between a standard stereo speaker setup and a binaural mode optimized for headphones.
- In binaural mode, all stereo channels are summed to mono, or you can use it creatively with speakers for unique effects.
- SHIFT Control:
- A sensitive control designed for fine-tuning. Use it in tandem with the TRANSFER control to explore a wide range of spatial effects.
- TRANSFER Control:
- Applies variable filtering to either the right or left channel. Set to zero filtering at the default 12:00 position, this control lets you sculpt your audio’s texture.
- AZIMUTH & ALTITUDE (Binaural Mode):
- AZIMUTH: Adjust the horizontal angle from –720° to +720° to sweep sounds across your stereo field.
- ALTITUDE: Modify the vertical angle from –40° (below) to +90° (overhead) for precise vertical positioning.
- MOD & RATE Controls:
- MOD: Introduce a sine wave modulator to your spatial controls. Increase the modulation for creative tremolo-like effects.
- RATE: Control the modulation speed from 0.001 Hz up to 5 Hz, allowing subtle to dramatic shifts.
- SPREAD Control:
- Add a subtle layer of phase and filter offsets in the high-frequency range for that extra “sparkle” on percussive elements or guitars.
Advanced Binaural Processing
- Binaural Mode Excellence:
- Utilize HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) data, derived from MIT Media Lab measurements by Bill Gardner and Keith Martin, to deliver precise trajectory encoding for headphones.
- Optimized Sample Rates:
- Operates at industry-standard sample rates of 44100, 48000, and 96000 Hz to ensure the highest quality audio processing.
Seamless Integration
- Host Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Audio Units and VST audio hosts, making it easy to integrate into your existing production setup.
- System Requirements:
- Runs on OSX 10.8 and Windows 10 x64, ensuring broad accessibility for modern music producers.
