CPU Percs by Cluster Sound
Proudly Digital
For decades, the analog versus digital debate defined electronic music production. Analog meant warmth, character, soul. Digital meant cold, clinical, lifeless. But what if digital doesn’t need to apologize? What if the unique artifacts, precision, and impossible-in-analog textures of digital synthesis are features, not flaws?
CPU Percs celebrates purely digital percussion. Created with custom software and DSP synthesizers, then refined through class-A analog processing for final polish, these 384 percussion sounds embrace their computational origins. From abstract textures to glitch artifacts, algorithmic code to broken digital beauty—this is percussion that couldn’t exist in the analog domain.
Nine Digital Percussion Categories
48 Abstract Percs exist at the boundary between rhythm and texture. These are percussive sounds that challenge conventional definitions—neither clearly tonal nor purely noise, existing in their own sonic space. Perfect for experimental electronic, ambient percussion, or adding unique character to any production.
32 Blop Percs capture liquid, bouncy, bubble-like digital textures. Think of these as percussion with playful character—sounds that add whimsy and movement to electronic productions. Their rounded, resonant quality brings a lighter touch to rhythmic programming.
32 Broken Percs embrace digital fragmentation and malfunction aesthetics. These sounds celebrate errors, glitches, and artifacts as creative elements. For producers working in IDM, glitch, or any style where imperfection adds interest, these percussion elements offer distinctive character.
48 Code Percs are algorithmically generated percussion sounds—rhythm created through mathematical processes rather than physical modeling. These are pure DSP synthesis, exploring what’s possible when percussion design starts with code rather than mimicking acoustic instruments.
32 Digital Percs showcase clean, precise, characteristically digital percussion. No analog emulation, no vintage nostalgia—these sounds embrace modern clarity and the unique timbral possibilities of contemporary DSP. Perfect for productions that demand contemporary sonic signatures.
32 DSP Percs push digital signal processing to create complex, evolving percussion textures. Multiple algorithms working together, creating sounds with internal movement and harmonic development. These are percussion elements that reveal new details with each listen.
32 Glitch Percs make rhythm from digital artifacts. Stutters, bit reduction, buffer errors, and sample rate manipulation become percussive elements. These sounds capture the aesthetic of controlled chaos—perfect for glitch-hop, IDM, and experimental bass music.
32 Reson Percs explore resonant filtering and feedback as percussive tools. These sounds ring, resonate, and evolve—percussion with pitched components and harmonic development. Great for melodic percussion or adding tonal interest to rhythmic patterns.
80 Voice Percs use human voice as source material, processed through digital manipulation into percussive elements. Vocal fragments become rhythm—a technique spanning from tribal influences to contemporary electronic production. The largest category because vocal percussion offers endless creative possibility.
Digital Creation, Analog Refinement
CPU Percs embraces a hybrid philosophy. The sounds begin life purely digital—created in custom software environments and DSP synthesizers that push computational boundaries. But they’re refined through class-A analog processing for final polish, adding subtle warmth and character while preserving their essential digital nature.
This approach combines the best of both worlds: the impossible-in-analog precision and textures of digital synthesis with the subtle harmonic enhancement of quality analog gear. The result is percussion that sounds contemporary and characterful, digital yet musical.
Instant Integration
Every percussion sound comes as a dedicated Drum Device with macro controls. Shape the tone, adjust the decay, tune the pitch—immediate parameter access without complexity.
The pack includes 23 sound-specific Drum Racks, each containing 16 related devices with macro controls. Exploring glitch percussion? Load the Glitch Percs rack. Need abstract textures? The Abstract Percs rack provides instant access. This organization keeps workflow efficient and creativity flowing.
Device preview playback lets you audition sounds before loading. Direct installation into Ableton’s Packs section keeps everything organized. Find your percussion, customize it, keep creating—no workflow interruption.
Two Powerful Formats
For Ableton Live Users: 384 individual Drum Devices with macro controls, 23 organized Drum Racks for fast browsing, device preview playback, and seamless Packs integration. Everything optimized for Live’s workflow.
For Kontakt Users: The Droom synthesizer provides unified access with comprehensive sound design controls. Further shape your digital percussion with filters, envelopes, and effects—extending creative control beyond the original design.
Contemporary Electronic Production
IDM and glitch producers will find essential textures. Experimental electronic artists will discover unique percussive elements. Techno and house creators will access contemporary digital character. Hip-hop and trap beatmakers will uncover distinctive vocal percussion. Whatever your style, CPU Percs provides percussion that sounds distinctly modern, unapologetically digital.

Important Information
Initial Release – October 2025
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.
