Permut8 is a modular digital effects plugin from Sonic Charge built around a 12-bit delay line whose processing is set by programmable operators, and the developer presents it as a tool for experimentation.

What Permut8 does
The input and output stages offer virtual analog components for saturation, limiting and filtering, and the output can be fed back into the input to create echoes, comb-filter effects and chaotic patterns.
Permut8 is offered in VST2 and AU builds for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with macOS 10.13 or higher and Windows 7 as the minimum systems, native support for Apple Silicon processors, and a trial version.
Key features
- 12-bit delay core. The delay runs at a 12-bit resolution, and its sample rate can be varied from 0 to 352 kHz, so the character of the delay can be changed on purpose.
- Programmable operators. The processor assortment of operators sets how the delay is treated, and the developer states that it allows the creation of almost any type of effect.
- Virtual analog stages. The input and output stages include virtual analog components for saturation, limiting and filtering, placed around the delay core.
- Feedback loop. The output can be routed back into the input, which produces echoes, comb-filter effects and unpredictable, never-ending patterns.
- Anti-aliasing oversampling. Components that would otherwise alias, such as the analog saturation, use heavy-duty anti-aliasing oversampling.
Who it is for
The plugin suits sound designers and producers who want to build effects from low-level digital processing and who are prepared to learn a complex interface, since the developer notes the user interface may seem intimidating at first.
