Midi control – Sonic Charge Permut8 User Manual

Page 11

The "Main Menu" contains functions to load and save the entire "program bank"

(all

30 programs)

, rename, copy and paste individual programs, randomize instructions

and more.

(There is a short-cut for randomizing the instructions by shift-clicking the "Main
Menu" button.)

If you save a

Permut8

"program bank", a VST .fxb or an Audio Unit .aupreset, all 30

programs are saved in the file. When you create a new instance of

Permut8

, the

most recently used programs will automatically load.

(You may disable this feature

from the "Main Menu".)

MIDI Control

There are three different ways to control

Permut8

via MIDI

(provided that your host

application allows routing MIDI to effects)

BITS

The BITS setting will let you toggle individual "operand bits"

(the 32 flip-flops under

INSTRUCTION 1 and 2)

with MIDI keys .

FREQ

FREQ makes it possible to transpose effects with MIDI keys by adjusting the clock
frequency up or down when keys are held. Note number 60

(C3)

is the root key.

While holding down a key you can use the pitch bend, e.g. bend it down quickly for a
"tape stop" effect.

PROG

In PROG mode you can switch between the 30 programs in memory using MIDI
keys. Great for sequencing glitchy effect patterns. Click the program number display
and check the popup list to see the assigned MIDI keys.

(You probably want to avoid

"automating" parameters in this mode as parameter changes are permanent and
cannot be easily undone.)
