Advanced Splytterz by PerforModule
Control Your Audio Stream.
Ideal for remixing and sound design, this suite of tools for splitting up audio by various methods provides expanded capabilities for placing effect chains on insert slots that affect only certain portions of the total signal. By using the built-in capabilities of Ableton Live’s Rack architecture combined with clever usage of native effects, these racks allow you to cut, splice, patch, and tweak with unprecedented surgical depth.
The pack provides 20 racks for splitting any audio source in different ways. The resulting multiple layers can each be individually processed on their own and are automatically recombined. It includes novel methods of splitting audio which have been heretofore unexplored, such as by time intervals, a focus bell filter, or by compression delta. The Ridiculous Splytter goes all out, splitting an audio source into 15 chains, each of which can have different effects.
Splytterz Included:
- Compression Splytter: place audio effects above and/or below an adjustable threshold. Super crazy useful, actually.
- Focus Splytter: place effects on only an adjustable focus frequency zone (or, everything except for that zone).
- FreqSplytters (various, from 3- to 16-way): place different effects on specific frequency zones.
- Gate Splytter: similar to the Compression Splytter, place effects that only apply to low-magnitude or high-magnitude material.
- Low-High Splytter: place effects on only above or below an adjustable focus frequency zone.
- LR Splytter: place separate effect on the Left and Right audio channels.
- LRMS Splytter: place separate effects on the Left, Right, Center, or Sides channels (with ability to fade/blend between LR vs MS FX).
- MS Splytter – Center, Sides: place separate effect on the Center or Sides channels (typical “MS”).
- MS Splytter – Center, Edges: place separate effect on the Center or Edges channels (the Sides further split into L and R).
- MS Splytter – Center, Sides, Edges: for ultimate MS control, place separate effect on the Center, Sides, and individual Edges channels.
- Ridiculous Splytter: split an audio source into 15 (!) different chains: Low, mid, and high; each further split into Center, Sides, and L + R Edges.
- Time Splytter: make your own bespoke sequencer effects by alternating between two FX chains based on a time interval.
- Voltage Splytter: splits audio into equal chunks by volume, from halves to sixths, with precise summation to the fifth decimal place.
Example Ideas:
- Place different reverbs on the left and right edges of the side signal for increased stereo width/space while leaving the main body of the L-R signal intact.
- Blend 4 amplifiers: one pair on the L and R channels, one pair on the M and S channels. Automate to fade between the LR and MS pairs during certain song sections.
- Set up two different effect chains to fade back and forth between each other every 2 measures.
- Set up a complex tremolo rhythm by having two different tremolo settings alternate in time.
- A distortion that only comes in on the parts of an audio signal landing below a threshold, affecting only the quietest parts of the signal.
- A delay which is only triggered by loud transients above a certain threshold, ignoring everything else.
- Saturating and chorusing the portion of a signal which would instead usually be compressed.
- Make a custom 5-unit parallel vocal compression chain, each compressor with different settings, all blended to unity gain.
- Split up a 2-channel stereo audio file into 5 channels in preparation for surround sound upscaling.
Bonus Racks – Three racks that explore split processing with reverb, glue, or tube saturation. They are split into three chains, separating the lows from the highs. The highs are then separated into left and right, leaving the lows centered. It’s a cool way to add stereo width while preserving the solidity of the fundamental mass.
- TriTube
- TriGlue
- TriVerb
Also includes the Behind the Back Panner rack which uses phase inversion for perceptual panoramic fun (mess with it using headphones).
Frequently Asked Questions
You get 20 Ableton Live racks organised into three categories: Stereo-Based splits (such as left-right separation), frequency-based splits, and more novel methods including time interval splits, focus bell filter splits, and compression-based splits. Each rack is ready to drop straight into your session.
Each rack divides your incoming audio signal into multiple discrete layers using Ableton Live’s native Rack architecture combined with clever routing through built-in effects. The layers are automatically recombined at the output, so you can insert any Ableton, VST, or AU effects onto individual layers without needing complex manual routing.
You will need Ableton Live Suite, as the racks rely on the full Rack architecture and native device set that Suite provides. Make sure your version of Live is reasonably up to date to ensure full compatibility with all 20 racks.
Yes, absolutely. Each split layer has its own effect chain slot, and you can load any combination of Ableton native devices, VST plug-ins, or AU plug-ins into those chains to process individual portions of your signal independently.
They are particularly well suited for remixing, sound design, and detailed mix processing where you need surgical control over specific elements of a signal. For example, you could apply compression only to transients using a time-based split, or shape a specific frequency band with heavy processing without affecting the rest of the signal.
Simply unzip the downloaded pack and drag the rack files into your Ableton Live User Library, or place them in a folder you have already added to Live’s browser. From there they will appear in your browser and can be dragged directly onto any audio track.
The racks handle all the complex routing internally, so you do not need a deep technical understanding of signal flow to get started. That said, having a basic familiarity with Ableton Live’s Rack system will help you get the most out of the more advanced splitting methods included.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
