(Click for a close-up)

Defective Records Software announces Major Malfunction version 1.5, a new version of the Mac OS X realtime audio plugin specifically created for use in Ableton Live. It allows you to easily mangle, glitch, slice and dice, and otherwise FSU in your audio stream, in either subtle or extreme ways. You use it as either a VST or an AU plugin in Live.

Major Malfunction syncs itself to the Ableton Live tempo automatically, and processes the incoming audio in a number of different user-specified ways, or even randomly if the user prefers.

New Features in version 1.5:

• New effects: distortion, vocoder, slow down, & silence
• New enhancements to gate effect
• New master multipass filter
• New click reduction
• New "effect gapping"
• New clock multiplier
• New randomize and evolve functions for effects
• Grid state & all parameters now saved with Live session
• Improved preset management
• Improved automation support
• New ability to turn hints on/off
• New undo feature
• Now works correctly with Novation automap controllers
• Now supports multiple instances of plugin in one Live session
• Efficiency improvements "under the hood"
• Small bug fixes

System Requirements:
Mac G4 667 MHz or better; both PowerPC and Intel architectures supported (Universal Binary)
Mac OS 10.3.9 or greater
Ableton Live, v4 or greater (earlier versions may work fine, but not tested)
Cycling '74 Pluggo, Pluggo Jr, or Pluggo Runtime, v3.6.1 or greater (Pluggo Runtime provided free if required)
