Kick 101 is a complete solution for professional drum production, including:

• 3 tones with sine, triangle, pulse, sawtooth, and noise generators

Kick 101 is a 3-voice drum synthesizer, a complete solution for creating professional drums for both electronic and acoustic music. It delivers perfectly tuned low frequencies, precise transients, and seamless layering— all in a compact and intuitive plugin.

Each voice is equipped with five sound engines—sine, triangle, pulse, sawtooth, and noise—optimized to minimize aliasing. The external input channel allows processing of any external material, passing it through the Kick 101’s signal path for precise hybrid blending.

Shape your beat with dedicated gain and pitch envelopes, independent tone and phase controls, and a 4-band EQ for each voice. Enjoy detailed transient control, musical curve shaping, and fine-tuning with intuitive controls.

Perfect your drums with a powerful saturator, which delivers everything from subtle warmth to bright, aggressive distortion, a transparent and precise compressor, and a 3-band semi-parametric filter specifically designed for drum processing. The mastering chain allows you to polish, enhance, or destroy your drums, offering limitless sound design possibilities.

Streamline your workflow with macros, dual presets (global and per-voice) , and a host of intelligent features. This plugin is designed to deliver ready-to-use results with minimal fuss.

Kick 101 is the easiest way to create the perfect kick (or enhance an existing one) for a wide range of genres, including techno, psychedelic trance, industrial, EDM, and hip-hop. It allows you to quickly and reliably produce results that fit into your workflow.
