D16 Group teases PunchBOX

[Cyforce]

Just a quick note, since it was one of the most requested features from users – UI scaling is of course included (as you can see in the teaser image), just like in the last V2 updates of D16.

For comparison, Punchbox 2 at 80% scaling is roughly the same size as Punchbox 1. For me personally, with a 3440x1440 resolution, 100% is perfectly sufficient, and it goes up to 200% – so even if you're producing in a cinema, the UI scaling is large enough if needed.

really looking forward, i didnt use v1 much yet. Hope v2 will change that . Hopefully you can also make some nice Rumblekicks

Does the peeled off paint and rack-rust in the GUI make the kicks sound more aNaLog?

There is no screws on the GUI so i'm skeptical it will sound geniunely analog

No screws? Dear lord! What will hold the panel in place?!

That was actually one of the biggest hurdles with PunchBox2. The power under the hood is difficult to control.

No wood panels.

Polarity switch is missing for the click / top / tools moduls. This something why I saw V1 as incomplete for the task this wants to fulfill

though, the important question is, will it be available before my plugin-funds are black fridayed

It is December 13, 2025. Never ever thought that the Punchbox 2 development would took so long. Drumazon 2 was released at the end of 2023.

Either, it will be a big surprise, or a huge disappointment.

I hope there will be a way to sample a kick right in the plugin itself. So basically a drag and drop from the synth engine to the sample engine (pre fx). I like when the kicks' transients are stable with every hit.

It's gonna be a real punch in the box.

Would it be that crazy, to make it switchable between a random and a stable transient in the analog models? I don't think so. That's what I would expect, from a dedicated kickdrum plugin in 2025/26.

By the way, PunchBox 2 is definitely coming this year.
I'd love to show you one or two small previews, but... we're still fine-tuning some areas... UI details, performance, workflow, etc.

So, as It’s next year now, are there any updates? Still some money left for this in the wallet
