we're pencilled for early / mid october
upgrade from k2 will be about £30
do you also have an idea what kick 3 will cost for new customers? i‘m interested, but I don‘t want to pay 59€ now for kick 2 and 30£ next week, if kick 3 still costs 59€ then ;)
30 pounds seem a bit steep in my opinion for an upgrade
What a completely absurd comment.

What planet and year do you live in?

thanks! sounds good, but maybe i still wait for the kick 3 release. don‘t have much time for music anyway the next weeks.

They said you will have to pay the remaining "difference", which means K3 will cost more than K2 I think.

I think that means you will be paying the same amount, whether you buy K2+3 or just K3.

I don't see much point in getting K2 though, if you're gonna get K3 in less than a month, but hey, I guess you could look at K2 like a mini demo, to get you used to how the plugin works

We're approaching final version for KICK 3 - but there's a new BETA release available today with a few additional features / tweaks

Analyse & Auto Import function
You'll now have an option to analyse and auto import your sample - it will clear your preset - import and set it up, and bring you in a reference track for you to A/B with as well

New Sub Layer presets
You can now save the SUB layer from any preset and it will save all information about the Sub including the pitch amp length and harmonics - these subs can be recalled from other presets, so you can now mix and match subs and clicks with better effectiveness

Phase Lock and Locked Phase Shift
You can lock a phase at a node point - right click a node and lock the phase, and this will maintain the phase position to the right of the node. You can also rotate the phase around this point.

As well a few QOL improvements and a bunch of bugfixes.

Still more to come..

Great stuff.

I'm still going to go to bat for more velocity control over parameters.

The various suggestions have been, velocity for macro control level, velocity to level for each sub/click slot. Ideally velocity to overall pitch and harmonic level would be nice to have.

I don't use exporting to sample much. I use Kick 3 (and other drum synths in a rack setup) in Ableton so having various performance based/live parameter control would be great to have.

Haven’t followed for a while but did they ever add any velocity modulation aside from volume?

we plan to expand on various areas after launch, we have to draw the line on new features somewhere before we release

sounds promising, imma wait after launch cause there are too many plugins (not yours maybe) which should have gotten stuff after launch and didnt happen.

We're getting close for sure. SA mentioned on Discord that the next release would be v1.0.0 i.e. not another beta version :D
Always Read the Manual!

Am I correct in assuming that those of us who demoed Kick 2 but didn't buy it can now demo this?

I have no idea, I just saw it's up on the site: https://www.sonicacademy.com/products/kick-3

It does say try for 14 days though.
