One Knob Wonders by PerforModule
1.2 Update for Live 10 and Live 11 now available!
The Live 11 version makes use of the new ability to customize the number of rack macros shown, for “actual” one knob racks.
Each One Knob Wonder effect rack has just a single macro control. Simply twist the knob to find the ideal position for the desired purpose. In general, these effects have a neutral, unprocessed sound in their initial position, only causing the effect as you alter the value.
This insane collection gives all sorts of fun ways to implement a quirky, unique result. The results can range from refined to bonkers. Gain-staging has been carefully paid attention to in order to avoid your levels blowing up when a knob is pushed.
For Sound Design: lots of these racks can generate trippy, interesting textures.
For Mixing: many of these racks can help tastefully polish a sound and sculpt it to sit in a mix.
For Live Performance: loads of these racks are fantastic for on-the-spot, off-the-cuff glitching of live loops and layers. A fun thing is to assemble and save your own 8-knob rack made of your favorite One Knob Wonders.
INCLUDES
6 Distortion Category Racks – Degrade, crunch and sizzle with growling thumpy noise. Cleanliness is overrated!
8 Filter Category Racks – Five different varieties of one-knob performance filters which go from clean signal to a sweep, plus a telephone filter modeling vintage frequency and distortion levels.
6 Formant Category Racks – Do weird things like generate a tone following a pitch, change your voice into that of an evil robot, pitch stuff up or down, and bring out your higher self.
8 Hall Category Racks – Three unique diffusion models (reverb-like effect with short delays), three reverbs specifically for orchestral sections, a somewhat creepy reverb for pianos which highlights chromatic overlap, and a rack designed to puff up lingering decay.
4 Instrument Category Racks – Racks specifically designed to nicely massage and soup up bass guitar, electric guitar, and vocals.
12 Mixing & Mastering Effects – Add top-end brightness, mid-range character, de-ess, compress, enhance aux channels, rotate panning, boost percussiveness, saturate select zones, and make sh*t louder… all in high-quality fashion with pristine results.
8 Modulation & Rhythmic Racks – Three flavours of dub-style delay, two phaser/flanger hybrids, and a tube-like chorus.
14 Performance & DJ Racks – Crazy fun effects designed with live glitching in mind which can temporarily transform playing audio into wild sweeps, risers, downlifters, stutterers, etc. These are meant more for track layers than for the master channel.
4 Space Category Racks – Meant for making flat, 2-dimensional digital audio sound more spacious and “real”, these racks provide subtle parallel air, flanging in a manner similar to analogue tape, and two chorus/tremolo hybrid effects.
Frequently Asked Questions

No, these are native Ableton Live audio effect racks and do not require Max for Live. Any version of Live 10 or Live 11 that supports audio effects should work fine.
Each rack has a single macro knob that controls a carefully calibrated range of parameters underneath. In their default position the racks are generally neutral and unprocessed, with the effect kicking in as you turn the knob.
Yes, gain-staging has been carefully considered throughout the pack so that pushing a knob hard won’t blow out your levels unexpectedly.
They cover a wide range of uses, from mixing and sound design through to live performance. Some racks are refined and subtle while others are deliberately bonkers, making them useful for both polished productions and experimental sound design.

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.
