The sound of Permut8 is raw and complex but noisy and warm at the same time. The input and output stages offers virtual analog components for saturation, limiting and filtering. The delay is controlled by a programmable processor that allows you to change and modulate the delay time with various "operators". At its core is a 12-bit digital delay with variable sample rate from 0 to 352 khz. I can assure you, within the first few minutes, you’ll probably fall in love.Permut8 is an effect plug-in that embraces the sounds of primitive signal processing hardware. Therefore, you have no excuse not to check it out.

Like all Sonic Charge products, there is a demo version that only requires a code to unlock it as the full item. The most amazing part is that the asking price, at $66 + VAT, for Permut8 is as cheap as its impact on your processor. Honestly, this is some of the most fun I’ve had in ages, and it sounds amazing. This is my favorite mode, as it makes Permut8 very similar to Stutter Edit and The Finger. This, in turn, causes Permut8 to become melodic, while at the same time giving you the possibility for the ‘tape stop’ effect when using your Pitch Bend.įinally, in Prog mode, you can use your MIDI keys to switch between multiple effect programs. In Freq mode, you have the ability to transpose the effects playback speed. Because bits play such a major role in how the Instruction sets work, simple keystrokes can have massive effects take place. In Bit mode, MIDI keystrokes will toggle individual bits. In fact, it has several modes in which MIDI will do different things.
In this way, it really does have something for the right brained, and left brained camps.īut, what really takes Permut8 over the edge is MIDI controllability. Technically though, with its hexadecimal leanings, you really can get as deep as you like behind the mindset and theory that Permut8 is based on. That’s an experience I’ll happily pay for! And with the 80’s style graphics, it does take you back a couple of decades mentally, while at the same time remaining modern with its ‘circuit bent’ sound. Personally, I’ve grown to greatly appreciate the return to the ‘just push a button and see what happens’ approach that Permut8 inspires. It should be noted that because the interface is so cryptic, and vintage ‘techie’ that it can be a little intimidating off the bat.
Permut8 is a delay, a filter a limiter and several beat synched effects that behave differently depending on what ‘bits’ are enabled in each ‘instruction’ panel, and what tempo your playing at. What is Permut8?Įven Sonic Charge do not supply a complete explanation as to what Permut8 is, but I’ll do my best. The reason I make the comparison is that this is the closest I’ve come to having a plug in, again, completely redefine my sound.
Permut8 is no DB Glitch, and I’m not saying this to put it down. Then no more Glitch, it was just no longer an option. I used DB Glitch for a long time up until I went totally Mac. Because the plug in was relatively cheap, up until it became a freebie, and because it gave such instant gratification as soon as you’d run anything to it, regardless of the complexity you supplied it with. One such plug in, for many, was DB Glitch. It is very, very rare that you run into a plug in that redefines your sound.
