Thank you Jan! Very nice update!
Some observations:
1. It would be good to have a default setting option for Keep-Extend-Fit. I never use Keep, but since it is the default setting, I have to change it every time and on every drop, which is a bit annoying.
2. The browser font color is not very visible; it almost blends in with the background, making it difficult to read.
3. FL native drag&drop 😭

Thank you! Amazing job!!

I very strongly recommend that you add a link to your website in you signature (on this forum) as well as in the video description on youtube.

Looks nice. But the 'how it sounds' buttons do not work on my mobile device

thank you for reporting, it works here, but we'll take a closer look over the code there again -
hope you get a chance to listen to it

Is there a way to change or customise the color theme? Sounds silly, but I just don't like the dark purple. The plugin is great and the ui is actually well done, but I just don't like to look at it. :roll:

Post

while it is a great tool to sculpt kickdrums (and i‘m still learning it) I really would like to have an option to play it chromatically on the keyboard. first to experiment with and find the best pitch and second to use it as a bass :)
is this possible or planned in the future?

Wow, this has gotten to be a pretty mature synthesizer at this point! Congratulations!

Is there a video that goes over the very basics like creating a kick in the key of the song with one oscillator? Cool project btw but hard for me to wrap my head around the UI. (which might be better in the long run once I learn it)

Great progress ! Thanks for all the updates !



Now my problem:
i created early on a patch in GP (host) with several kickdrum instances.
At some point i lost all my *carefully* crafted kickdrum-settings.
I would guess it had to do with me installing a Beta.
( to notes: my GP patch would ever change, so i do NOT save any of my changed settings within a plugin to a own plugin specific preset during such stage / has it even had presets ?....i don´t think so....?? )



I would like to pick up on my work with Kickdrum.
How can i avoid to run into same problems again ?
Nolonger install any beta ?
since 2.5 is now a regular release.
Whats my *exact* way to proceed vs. upcoming installs ? ...beta or not
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

Thank you for the 2.5.1 update! :)

no, functionality first. if, this will be among the finishing touches.

not yet, but we just released 2.5.1 and if nothing urgent comes up - the main priority now is to create such tutorials.

what you describe sounds like a missmatch in plugin identifiers between a certain beta version and the latest official, but to make sure and get you back working, I'd like to get deeper into it, can you please send me a mail ( hello at audija.com )
*I'll be afk until next week
