Audija – KickDrum v2.0.2 for WiN

Precise bass drum synthesis with a unique engine that updates the audio buffer during editing. This approach provides high-quality audio processing and instant visual feedback, freeing up the DSP during playback. The modular device chain now provides full signal path customization by adding, removing, reordering and nesting devices, allowing you to apply effects where needed.

Possibilities

Devices

• OSC: Sine wave oscillator with harmonic distortion and the ability to lock the phase zero crossing over time, which can be used to create the perfect bassline transition without manually adjusting the initial phase angle each time the pitch changes.
• SAMPLE: Sampler for cutting, moving, stretching and inverting phases in .wav and .aiff files
• EQ: Linear phase equalizer with unlimited number of bands, supporting filter types such as low-pass, low-pass, bell, notch, high-pass and high-pass (up to 16th order)
• ENV: Gain envelope for shaping space over time
• SAT: Tanh saturator with additional modifiers for subtle saturation all the way to killer overdrive
• CLIP: Soft to hard clipper

Automation

Device settings such as mix, gain, drive, ceiling and others can be automated using the internal automation system.

Analysis Function

• The SAMPLE device includes an analysis function that converts the sample into a device chain consisting of either OSC/ENV or OSC/EQ/ENV + SAMPLE/EQ.
• The analyzed sample is now fully editable

Bezier Curve Features

• Freely movable Bezier gravity points between nodes
• Log view: nodes can be spaced logarithmically in time, allowing the front work area to be stretched and the back work area to be compressed
• Features applied to one or more nodes using the lasso:
• Node connections can be smoothed for gradual transitions
• Nodes can be finely adjusted horizontally or vertically
• Nodes can be keyed
  

Comparison

Three separate comparison slots (A, B, C) allow you to copy each state to another, making it easy to compare changes between preset iterations.

Presets

• A full-featured Preset Manager is available for loading, saving and updating presets. It also allows you to view, create, rename and delete folders to effectively organize your preset collections
• The Preset Manager’s search function allows you to search by preset name, author, tags, key, date and length.
• Presets can also be cycled and updated directly from the main menu.

Visual Effects

• Signal Path Visualization: The signal path can be visualized and inspected after each device, with each device’s waveform being:
• On or off
• Colored differently
• Set to a specific transparency
• Displayed as a line or filled
• Grid line display can be toggled on and off, and the grid interval can be freely adjusted.
• OSC pitch node tags (key, Hz, and milliseconds) can be toggled on and off, and their size can be changed
• The decibel scale can be toggled on and off.
  

Navigation

The waveform, pitch keyboard, decibel scale and EQ spectrogram can be freely moved with single-sample accuracy.

Length

The length can be set in milliseconds or relative to the tempo in fractions (e.g. 1/4, 1/8, etc.)

Output

• Built-in optional AutoGain function maintains peak strike gain at a certain dB level
  
• Velocity Sensitivity: Output gain can vary depending on the velocity of the input note.
