Switches and things you may or may not recognize… but, you know, don’t worry, not only are there hundreds of presets, but randomly switching presets is a lot of fun.
Permut8 is the kind of thing that inspires the dreams of people who love digitally-manipulated sound. From legendary Swedish developer Magnus Lindström (Malström in Reason, MicroTonic), it’s a digital delay gone very, very mad.
Think delays, flangers, bit crushing, beat repeating, and “circuit-bent” digital insanity.
The core of the idea is a 12-bit digital delay with variable sample rate, all controlled by a programmable processor. That lets you do things you … shouldn’t. Various digital operators let you mangle and manipulate sounds, for effects that can be sonorous and beautiful or clangy or hideously-distorted, subtle or extreme, or any combination. You can get some idea of what this means by listening to the sound samples below.
It’s raw but delicious – you know, like sushi. I’ve started playing with it and I’m already in love; full review soon.
Specs:
- 12-bit digital delay
- Variable sample rate from 0 to 352 khz
- Programmable processor with selectable operators
- Virtual analog saturation, limiting, filter
- 11 program banks with 320 presets
- VST 2.4, Audio Unit 2 host support, or try a free host; Mac, Windows
US$66.

Nice one !
Sonic Charge create very innovative plugins.
Bitspeek is nice too.
Its able to change itself with swappable firmware upgrades (saveable/recallable with the preset too).Have some fun in the terminal!
I should say you need to have it registered/own a license, not sure if it will work for those using demo….hit the PERMUT8 logo and terminal will open….Type SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) or Ringmod..should work.
Very nice so far (especially with the 25% discount) but I have had no luck with the terminal. All it I can get is the help text, all other commands prompt me for a user name and password. Apparently it’s supposed to be some sort of challenge (the popup help talks about “cracking the logon”). Anyone here know more about this?
Hi Random Chance…enter:
user=user
password=password
other commands:
login
logout
reset
should get you going.
Yeah, it works with “username” and “password.” The assembler bits are seriously cool (for some twisted definition of the word). My god, it’s full of data statements …

I have yet to test drive this plugin, but I love the PDP-8 inspired looks and word length as the PDP-8 is one of my favorite vintage mini computers. In addition to that i’s very inspiring. Makes me want to fire up XCode and see if I can wrap my head around the new Audio Unit API introduced in 10.7.

I luv that they took the time to make it unique. To much copy-paste stuff floating around VST-land.

This looks amazing. Reminds me of some of the sounds I used to get sampling synths into my old Akai through a crappy guitar head. Definitely gonna give this a go.

Wow, I’m not sure I’ve seen anything on this site get 10 positive comments in a row/ no disses. I better download this now, as the apocalypse is apparently minutes away 🙂
