PAULA 1.94

PAULA is a Max for Live device that emulates the Amiga A1200 sound chip resampling / downsampling behaviour to a specific note like ProTracker 2. This release is free and is part of the MANY WORLDS SAMPLE DVD.

Features include a faithful recreation of the Amiga A1200 audio chip filter circuitry (PAULA), LED filter ON/X2/OFF, stereo sampling, variable bitrate, bit scaling, ADC/DAC character features, ADSR envelopes, reverse, loop, accurate fine tuning and realtime playback!

FROM THE MANY WORLDS SAMPLE CD:

"Modern recording capabilities have perfected digital audio quality, rendering it virtually flawless by eliminating undesirable artifacts such as aliasing and noise. However, exploring and emulating the characteristics of vintage sampling technologies by manipulating sample rate and bit depth can yield desirable sonic qualities. By embracing the imperfections inherent in older technologies, artists can not only enrich their sound but also gain a deeper understanding of the history and evolution of sound design. As we continue to innovate in digital audio, it is valuable to remember and integrate this knowledge." - Embracing Imperfections  - Exploring Vintage Sampling Technology & Techniques.

Please note that this device is dependent on an installation of TAL-DAC VST3! If TAL-DAC is not installed the device will not work as intended. If anyone knows how to replicate the ‘variable’ reconstruction filter offered in TAL-DAC in MaxMSP please DM me! https://tal-software.com/products/tal-dac
