Malfunktion by LDM Design

The pack contains 64 finely crafted patches covering drones, digital tones, broken machine sounds, crackles, noise, pads, atmospheres, bleepy broken leads, and lush pads. You also get a carefully constructed sample library including concrete kicks, clicks, pops, snaps, beeps, and databent computer files, alongside 16 session resources to get you started.

It’s designed with glitch, IDM, minimal techno, and ambient music in mind, drawing inspiration from artists like Alva Noto, Autechre, Murcof, Pole, Modeselektor, and Prefuse 73. That said, the textures and broken machine sounds can add a glitchy edge to almost any electronic production.

Malfunktion is a patch and sample-based resource pack rather than a Max for Live device. The patches and samples are designed to drop straight into your productions and can be loaded into your sampler or DAW of choice.

Yes, the pack works seamlessly with Ableton Live and is optimised for use within that environment. The patches and samples are straightforward to load into Ableton’s built-in instruments and sampler.

After purchase you’ll receive a download link through Isotonik Studios. Simply download the pack, extract the files, and drag them into your Ableton Live library or preferred sampler. No complex setup is required.

It’s primarily a synthetic and digital-focused pack, but LDM Design have incorporated naturally recorded clicks from objects like pens and clocks alongside databent computer files, giving the textures an interesting mix of real-world and purely digital character.

Yes, if you add three or more LDM Design products to your cart, you’ll automatically receive a 20% discount at checkout. It’s a great opportunity to pick up other packs from the range at the same time.
