Kick Ninja - Kick 3 / Audija Alternative

[PieBerger]

New version out:

The downloads page still seems to have the same version. What's the number?

It's an open beta version, available through The Him Discord server

Shame on me, I didn’t read the manual (don’t even know if there’s one), but so far I haven’t been able to zoom in, to edit my attack precisely. I’ve looked around in Ninja Kick, tried the classic keys, and nothing.

So what I mean here is : unless I’m really stupid (which is quite possible I must say), the zoom is either lacking (?) or really unintuitive to me.

Don’t know if it’s only me... I found the zoom function immediatly in Kick 2 for example.

There's no manual, so no shame in not reading it

There is a keyboard modifier for zoom, on MacOS it's CMD+click-drag, I can't remember what it is on PC, as I've mainly used it on my MacBook, but CTRL+click-drag would be the first thing to try.

Ctrl has no effect, first thing I’ve tried, but thanks for your answer.

Great update, and a superb tool.
The only thing I'm missing is some control over attack via velocity, which perhaps could be as simple as different velocity control for each layer. Then the click can fade more at lower velocities.

There's an online manual now for all you RTFMers (myself included )

I'm dabbling with this a little more, and I find it has such a nice workflow. Once again I have to commend the developer. Amazing how this industry develops; for years it seemed that tools for kicks were fine. Suddenly there are several developers competing and vastly improving the tools.

I was asked by Rekkerd while ago to write a review for this plugin and find it very intuitive/helpful for any modern style of music.
Made few basic kicks,you can download and use as base for your own complex kicks from the review page,scroll down to download link:

Have you noticed any deterioration in the quality of samples imported into it?

How does this compare with the FLOSS, Geonkick?
