A mathematically precise collection of Utility presets plus Audio Effect Racks for dividing or multiplying audio levels by Sound Pressure (SPL), Acoustic Energy (SIL), or Loudness Sensation (Perceived Volume). Quicker than calculating gain and typing in a number, these provide the technical calculation and the gain change in one step.Additional information

Amplitude Operands by PerforModule
A mathematically precise collection of 164 Utility Presets and 4 Audio Effect Racks for dividing or multiplying by Sound Pressure (SPL), Acoustic Energy (SIL), or Loudness Sensation (Perceived Volume).
SPL is used for calculating the combined loudness of multiple objects. Useful for precision when splitting, duplicating, and stacking copies of audio files.
Multiplication Example: x2 to make something to be the exact level duplicating it and playing both copies together would cause
Division Example: ÷4 to adjust each of four copies of something which you would like to play back at the same level as the original copy.
VOLUME is used for altering level as it perceptually appears to the human ear. Useful for subjective estimations of how loud something will sound to the listener; recommended for use early on during rough shaping in the pre-mixing phase of production, since the level intervals are large.
Division Example: ÷3 on each of three harmony vocal takes to reduce them in comparison to the lead.
Multiplication Example: x2, automated to boost a soloist’s vocal mic among a choir during their solo.
SIL is for calculating the acoustic energy of physical objects. Useful for sound design.
Multiplication Example: x1000 on a cricket chirp to simulate the level of 1000 crickets chirping together.
Division Example: ÷2 on a crowd applause recording to simulate a crowd half the size.
In addition to all the prests giving direct operand values, there are included Divisor and Multiplier Audio Effect Racks for SPL and Volume which allow you to dial in a desired multiplication or division value. The number shown on the macro knob is the operator value, so you can either grab the knob and twist it, or click on the knob and type it in.
NOTE: Even though you can’t see the full numerical values in Ableton Live’s display, the values do acutally go down to the 5th decimal place for maximum possible precision.
Frequently Asked Questions
You get 164 Utility presets and 4 Audio Effect Racks covering three amplitude measurement types: Sound Pressure Level (SPL), Sound Intensity Level (SIL / Acoustic Energy), and Loudness Sensation (Perceived Volume). Each preset handles a specific multiplication or division operation so you never have to calculate gain values manually.
Amplitude Operands works with Ableton Live and uses the built-in Utility device, so no Max for Live licence is required. It is compatible with Live 10 and above, though we recommend checking the product page for the exact version requirements.
SPL (Sound Pressure) is the right choice when combining or splitting copies of the same audio, for example compensating for the level increase caused by stacking duplicate tracks. SIL (Acoustic Energy) relates to intensity calculations, and Perceived Volume is based on how loudness actually registers to the human ear, making it the best option when you want to match subjective listening levels rather than physical measurements.
Drop the preset files into your Ableton User Library in the appropriate Presets folder, and place the Audio Effect Racks into your Racks folder. Once added, everything appears in your browser and is ready to drag onto any audio track.
Absolutely. If you duplicate a track and play both copies simultaneously, Amplitude Operands gives you the precise SPL preset to compensate for the combined level increase, keeping your mix balanced without guesswork or manual dB calculations.
Not at all. The presets are labelled by operation and measurement type, so you simply pick the one that matches your situation, such as dividing by four for four stacked copies, and apply it. The maths is already done for you.
Yes. If you purchase Amplitude Operands alongside any two or more other PerforModule products in the same transaction, a 20% discount is automatically applied at checkout.

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.
