(as well as to the feedback)

. The different placement settings can make a big dif-

ference to the sound if you have a lot of digital distortion going on.

FEEDBACK AMOUNT

The FEEDBACK AMOUNT knob determines how much of the output signal is fed
back into the input again.

FLIP L/R

With FLIP L/R you can switch the left and right feedback channels so that for each

iteration the audio will bounce from left to right and vice versa.

INVERT

Turn the INVERT switch on for a 180 degrees phase inversion of the feedback sig-
nal. With very short delay times this produces a totally different sound.

OUTPUT LEVEL

The OUTPUT LEVEL knob controls the final volume of the "wet" signal. To give you

that sweet saturated sound there is a soft clipper on the output gain stage, just as

there is on the input stage.

MIX

Use MIX to adjust the balance between the "dry" input and the "wet" processed

sound. Because of the variable clock frequency technique in

Permut8

, the total input

/ output latency varies and this cannot be compensated perfectly by the host. The

MIX knob on the other hand makes perfect latency compensation even if the clock

frequency changes. Therefore it is better to mix the dry / wet signals within

Permut8

rather than mixing them in your host.

Programs

All the settings you see on the front panel constitutes a

Permut8

"program" and

Per-

mut8

can have 30 such programs in memory at a time. You can instantly switch be-

tween these programs either by clicking the program number display or the rocker
switch next to it. You can also use "MIDI Program Change" messages to switch pro-
grams on the fly or put MIDI CONTROL in PROG mode and use MIDI keys.

The programs are numbered A0-A9, B0-B9 and C0-C9, but you can also give them
names that are shown in a popup list when you click the program number display. If
you do not name a program it will be given a default name consisting of the "opera-
tor" and "operand" settings

(e.g. "[B0] and:4420 xor:0081")

. Programs that have

been modified since they were last named are marked with a *.
