Permut8 Description

Permut8 is an audio effect plug-in which provides the sounds of primitive signal processing hardware. The main aspect of Permut8 is a 12-bit digital delay with variable sample rate from 0 to 352 khz.Furthermore, the delay is controlled by a programmable processor that allows you to change and modulate the delay time with various "operators". The input and output stages offers virtual analog components for saturation, limiting and filtering. The sound of Permut8 is raw and complex but noisy and warm at the same time. With Permut8 we have made a serious effort to make a plug-in that feels and sounds like a piece of physical digital hardware and not like your typical software effect. Permut8 can make aliasing noises that would make any Commodore 64 green of envy, but its aliasing is different from what you normally encounter in software DSP. For example, it is unrelated to the host sample rate and you can tune it exactly with the "clock frequency" knob. Furthermore, the components that should not alias, e.g. the "analog" saturation, employ heavy-duty anti-aliasing and oversampling techniques to avoid doing so. Permut8 has just the right dose of hiss, hum, distortion and unpredictability to make it come alive without sacrificing fidelity when you want it.
