A Drum Rack That Completely Changed My Mind
I recently picked up UFGM by User Friendly, and it’s completely changed my perspective on glitch drum racks.
In the past, I never really saw the point of buying a drum rack. My thinking was always, “I can build something similar myself.” But UFGM demonstrates that thoughtful design and deep sound programming are worth paying for.
What impressed me most is that it relies on Ableton’s Operator as the primary tone generator rather than a library of samples. That means the sounds feel alive and endlessly tweakable. The range of glitchy percussion, clicks, pops, digital artifacts, and unexpected textures you can coax out of such a simple synth architecture is remarkable.
The creativity built into the macros and sound design encourages experimentation rather than just triggering pre-made sounds. It’s one of those rare instruments where you keep discovering happy accidents and inspiring variations the longer you play with it.
If you’re an Ableton user who enjoys IDM, glitch, experimental electronic music, or just wants a fresh source of percussive ideas, I can highly recommend it. It’s also a great reminder that with enough imagination, a stock device like Operator can be transformed into something genuinely unique.
Rating: 5/5 – an inspiring and surprisingly deep instrument that punches well above its weight.

UGFM, and really any tools User Friendly has created to date, are flexible, inspiring and most importantly, playful. I've also learned a ton deconstructing this rack and adapting it for further experiments, which is worth way more than the meager asking price I'd say. Thank you!

Great tool for adding creative Glitch Sounds to my projects once I got used to the Drum Rack. Very interesting how this Rack was made in a sound design perspective. I looked up quite a few interesting techniques I use to create Drum Racks with a random sound design approach. Thanks to the developer!
UFGM by User Friendly
UFGM is a set of Drum Rack available for Ableton Live Suite 12.
The racks are designed to help get ideas going, finish an idea, or even create a whole track.
The download comes with 5 different versions of the same rack. The first rack is made up of 4 percussion sounds (Sub Kick, Kick, Snare, Hat) and 4 Different “Glitch” sounds. Each one of these 8 sounds has one Macro that will control many different elements of the sound.
It may increase impact, start to ratchet, swell, pluck or thump. The idea is to worry less about what exactly is happening and instead listen to the results.
The second rack is the same as the first, but instead of macros there is two more drum pads added. One will randomize all four glitch sounds, the other all four percussion sounds.
The third rack is the same as the first, but with four effects added. Beat Repeat, reverb, shifter, and overdrive. All sounds go through the chosen effect when it is sent a trigger or gate. These effects are the same as the sounds with each one having a single Macro that will change the sounds in interesting, and sometimes, unexpected ways.
The fourth rack is the same as the third, but with randomize pads for the four glitch sounds, four percussion sounds, and four effects. The Final rack collapses all Macros for the sounds and effects into a single Macro.
