Kick is a kick drum synthesizer that allows a user to create kick drums and tune them to their tracks. It combines a synthesised sub oscillator and sampled clicks to create a wide variety of kick drums, percussive and bass sounds. With Pitch, Amp and Click envelope editors, drive, pitch control and the Nicky Romero designed distortion section, there is plenty to tweak.

With over 150 factory presets and 40 exclusive Nicky Romero presets a user can access a Protocol sound right out of the box. In addition Kick comes bundled with 32 Nicky Romero clicks lifted straight from his productions. Other features include on board EQ, sub drive, distortion section and a internal master limiter allowing the user to drive the kicks without worrying about their kick channel.

Price: £24.95 / $39.95 / €29.95.

Well i guess there's finally a release to post a challenge to vengeance metrum, and without a dongle and actually 1/5th of the price!

Good luck with it, i watched the longer video right through on HD, and it seems to be a clever and good sounding plugin.

Congrats

I have the kick synthesizer that comes with FLStudio which is similar, though the interface for this one looks a lot more intuitive and flexible.

Looks beastly, I'll definitely keep an eye on this for when my bank account has recovered from all the sales...

Feedback has been amazing so far. Crashed our servers for a bit there but all up and running again.

Is it interesting for other genres than dance music? (DnB, Dubstep,etc...)

yeah absolutely... i made a bunch of D&B presets some Subby Trap Style kicks. it also does nice subby sine basses too.

@Phil Sonic Academy

No trial version?
I've checked the whole site but can't find a download... :\

Yeah we haven't done a demo... its a pretty straight forward plugin and you can get a good sense of if you will like it from the walk-through video.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so im sure if you think its something you are interested in you will love it.

Check out what people are saying.

Sorry but i'm not going to purchase any product just based on what "other people are saying" or just demo video's.

There is a trial version for the ANA plugin so i don't understand why there isn't a trial version for this Kick plugin.

Also still waiting for a trial...

Would love to see a triangle osc in the kicksynth too!

Walk-through video gives no hint with regards to stability and CPU usage. I'll wait for a demo.

Btw, will ANA now get some attention? I'd like to see the aliasing issues fixed and some CPU improvements.
