PRODUCT FEATURES


KICK 2 - DRUM SYNTHESISER

KICK 2 is finally here - The Multi Award Winning KICK gets an extensive upgrade
for 2016. Easily sculpt, shape, create, manipulate, mangle your way to the
perfect kick drum.

No longer do you need to rely on sampled and resampled low quality kick drums in
sample packs. With KICK 2 you can easily create a perfectly synthesised kick
attuned to your needs.




3 FULLY FEATURED CLICK AREAS

New to KICK 2 are 3 click areas jam packed with features including start time,
length control, Low / High Pass Filters and fine pitch adjustment

No longer do you need to manipulate and adjust your clicks before import, simply
load them and get started straight away


DRAG & DROP CLICK LOADING

Found an audio click that you like? simply drag and drop it straight onto the
plugin window to load it directly into your soundbank


EXTERNAL SAMPLE FOLDER BROWSING

Browse your personal sample collection direct from inside the plugin - allowing
you to audition all of your favourite samples without having to manually load
them in.




INCLUDES 230+ FACTORY KICKS

KICK 2 comes bundled with over 230 Factory presets in a wide range of styles
including Analog / Bass / Drum & Bass / House / Live / Percussion / Pop /
Progressive House / Psy Trance / Snares / Techno / Toms / Trance / Trap


OVER 180 CLICK SAMPLES

The click section contains 180 click samples that can be loaded in to provide
your kick its own unique sound and if that still isn't enough you can go ahead
and load in your own click samples - KICK will save these to your user bank for
later use.




SUB HARMONICS CONTROL

As well as being able to use a clean sine wave to create your KICKS, you can now
take full control of the waveform by using our Sub Harmonics to add even more
depth and character to your sound




TUBE, CLIP AND WAVE DISTORTION ALGORITHMS

As well as our original CLIP distortion from KICK 1 - we have included 2 new
High Quality and expertly modelled Analog distortion units to allow you to add a
little warmth to the sound, or to simply nail that hard dance kick

Included also is our signature Drive sound from Kick 1 to push everything that
little bit more




QUICKLY EXPORT YOUR KICK

Prefer to work with your KICKs in an external program? No problem. You can you
now quickly and easily export your created KICK using our generate function

Simply choose the Velocity and Note you would like to export at - then drag and
drop it directly from the plugin into your DAW.




FULL GRAPHICAL EQ

Too many highs? Too little lows? Simply adjust them with new built-in graphical
EQ to do a boost or cut accross the frequency range without ever having to leave
the plugin


EQ QUICK CONTROLS

Once your EQ's are set up you can control and manipulate them quickly and easily
directly from the front of the plugin




HIGH QUALITY BEZIER CURVES

Easily sculpt your KICK sound using our advanced Bezier curve algorithm to get
smooth transitions from point to point.

You can also adjust the length and overall pitch of the sound using the
respective controls on the X-Y pad.


STAY IN KEY

Use the SNAP and TAG feature to show the HZ and KEY of each node on the X-Y pad.
Allowing you to dial in the exact key of your kick drum.




COMPRESSOR

Use the built in compressor to get even more control over your KICK sound -
perfectly tuned for kick drums


LIMITER

Keep your levels under control with KICKs built in limiter. Featuring a
threshold control as well as 3 release settings. Alternatively you simply
disable it if you do not want it interfering with your sound.




GATE, KEYTRACK & PORTAMENTO CONTROL

Take total control of how your MIDI input effects the length and pitch of your
kick by making use of the Gate and Keytrack features

If you want to get really creative you can make use of our Portamento control to
quickly and easliy create TRAP basses
