This is mainly for dance music or more experimental tracks, possibly film scores etc. I'm sure it could find a use in contemporary jazz and classical as well. It can do bog standard delays/reverbs but there are plenty of other plugins for that. Suppose you want to slow down part of a vocal and have it repeat backwards as well as reduce the bit depth then this plugin can do it. If you like to have granular echos on your hihat every quarter or eighth then this plugin will do that. It can slow down, speed up, cut up, reduce bit depth, delay, reverberate and play backwards any part of a sound. This is great for rhythmic FX and evolving weirdness.Beardedone wrote:It took me ages to "get" Microtonic and some of the filters and synths I use that do not appear anywhere near the music I usually listen to (Jazz and Classical mostly) but I have learned to enjoy them as th fresh air that they are. As far as Permut8 goes I need to know what genre of music it is intended and what it can do in a musical setting.foosnark wrote:This is the kind of plugin where, if you don't get what it's for, you're almost certainly not in the target audience.

There are a few other plugins that can do this (Turnado, Stutter Edit, Reaktor) and each has its own unique sound. Permut 8 seems reasonably priced and as it's not a reduced, time limited intro price I'll wait awhile before buying it.
