KickDrum

precision bassdrum synthesis

A digital dancefloor kick is basically a sine wave oscillating from a high pitch to a low pitch - simply put. But when it comes to shaping the pitch curve and leveling certain bands a dimension of endless possibilites opens. KickDrum was created to achieve maximum precision with an intuitive workflow, while exploring this dimension, aiming to achieve the desired sound in a short time.

key features

Phase Zero Crossing

The phase control enables precise adjustment of the phase zero crossing. For instance, it can be positioned at the end of the kick, to create a phase-accurate transition to the bassline.

Length

The length of the kick can be set relatively to match the beat grid or statically in milliseconds.

Free Bézier Curves

The Bézier curves gravity point can be freely adjusted on two axes for more precise shaping.

Full Navigation

Use the right mouse button to zoom and pan on the Oscillogram, Decibel scale, Pitch Keyboard, or EQ, offering precise editing down to the sample.

One Click WAV Export
