The Kick 2 VST drum synth lets you easily create your own kick drums and tune them to perfection. The instrument combines a synth sub-oscillator and sampled clicks to create a wide range of drum, percussion and bass sounds.
KICK 2 VST includes a factory library of over 230 presets in a variety of styles and categories, including Analog / Bass / Drum & Bass / House / Live / Percussion / Pop / Progressive House / Psy Trance / Snares / Techno / Toms / Trance / Trap . The instrument also contains over 180 click samples that can add a unique sound to your kick drum sounds. If that’s not enough, you can upload your own click samples.
Also, the second version allows you to use not only the sine wave to create sub-bass, but also other waveforms to add even more depth and character to your sound.
Kick 2 offers 3 high quality distortion algorithms that will allow you to add a little warmth to your sound, or get those hard dance kicks.
