extreme frequency modulation. Flanger effects can also be achieved by turning up
the FEEDBACK amount.
The high operand sets the rate of the oscillation and the low operand sets the magni-
tude / depth of the modulation. Both follow exponential scales. The highest
(leftmost)
bit can be turned on to achieve a wide stereo effect by inverting the modulation of
the right audio channel. A rate of 00 will freeze the oscillation and turn this operator
into a fixed delay.
RND
Use RND to add sweeping random motion to the read position, effectively modulat-
ing the pitch and / or speed randomly. The high operand sets the rate and the low
operand sets the depth of the modulation. Both follow exponential scales. If you turn
on the highest
(leftmost)
bit, a wide stereo effect is achieved by randomizing the right
channel separately from the left.
At moderate rate and magnitudes, this operator adds subtle pitch modulation in the
style of chorus effects. At extreme settings it turns into white noise that follows the
level of the input. A rate of 0 will effectively prevent the "sweeping" effect and make
the read position hop to a random offset each time the write position completes a full
cycle, resulting in a "sample-and-hold" style of modulation.
(The pseudo random number generator will generate the exact same sequence
every time you flip the RESET switch.)
OR
The OR operator works like AND but instead of clearing the selected bits, it sets
them. This means OR will "push" the read position in front of the write position, un-
like AND. If you want to repeat the last section of a beat, OR is your friend.
(However,
if you put Permut8 in REV mode, OR will work exactly like AND and vice versa.)
XOR
XOR works on the bits of the read position data word (similar to AND and OR) . It in-
verts the bits that are set in the operand. This changes the order of playback in dif-
ferent ways. If you set all the bits to 1
(FFFF)
the read position will move backwards.
If you leave the higher bits cleared you will reverse short slices of audio, and if you
set only the higher bits the slices will play forwards but in reversed order. Flip the
lowest bits to create ultra nasty "aliasing" effects. The highest
(leftmost)
bit turns on a
stereo effect that offsets the right channel against the left.
