Circuit-Bent Filter

Turn drum loops into glitchy mayhem. Make basses scream and beg for mercy. Burn anything to ashes. Malfunction is a unique tool for extreme sound destruction.

Warped from inside. This unique effect is based on a special low-pass filter that has been โ€œcircuit-bentโ€ - that is, the algorithm has messed up internal connections and doesnโ€™t operate normally. It produces an incredibly characterful, screaming distortion that is full of attitude and puts out various unpredictable but controllable buzzes and noises.

Motion modulation. Malfunction features a very flexible tempo-synchronised LFO with four waveforms, innovative per-cycle random mode and variable smoothness. It can be used to modulate the input low-pass filter, the circuit-bent filter or the output multi-mode filter โ€“ letting you easily do complex sound destruction and morphing.

Effectively simple. With its clean colour-coded interface, Malfunction is incredibly intuitive to work with. The logical control layout and responsive graphics make sure you always see whatโ€™s doing what without having to ever consult the user manual.
