User Interface

The heart of

Permut8

is the 128 kilowords 12-bit memory, visualized by the LED ar-

ray at the bottom of the user interface. The red dot shows incoming audio that is writ-
ten to memory, i.e. the "write position". The green dots represent playback positions
for left and right outputs, i.e. the "read positions". Use the two instructions to change
and modulate the read positions with different "operators". They are processed in
order, i.e. instruction 1 is executed first and then instruction 2 is calculated on the re-
sult of instruction 1.

There are two eight-bit parameters per instruction, called "operands". You can set
individual "bits" of these parameters with the switches. If you set MIDI CONTROL to
BITS you can use MIDI keys to flip the bits. In most hosts it is also possible to
"automate" the switches. Shift-click and drag to set single bits more easily.

The current operand settings are also shown in "hexadecimal" format to the left of
the switches. For your convenience you can click and drag these displays to adjust
the settings or click the small up and down arrows to increment and decrement one
step at a time.
