01 / The workflow
From a sine wave
to your signature.
The depth of a modular sound-design system. A focused four-step workflow. Every stage of your kick, in one place.
02 / MOVEMENT
Shape.
Sculpt pitch and envelopes with precision. Dial in phase, decay and movement to make every hit land your way.
03 / CHARACTER
Effects.
Find your edge. Build distortion and dynamics chains across dedicated lanes, with serial and parallel processing.
04 / IMPACT
Master.
Control the final output with clipping, limiting and metering. Compare, refine and export your finished kick to your DAW.
02 / Under the hood
Clean punch.
Beautiful chaos.
Go from a clean, weighty kick to aggressive Rawstyle, Hardcore and Uptempo textures. Shape the source, punch and tail independently, then bring them together with flexible routing and powerful processing.
Synthesis, distortion, EQ, dynamics, phase control, mastering and analysis share one environment — built to take your kick from its first idea to its final sound.
