Kick Drum Synthesiser

How many hours have you wasted searching through samples for the right kick? Or have you layered kick drums together and still not got the result you were after?

Do you want complete flexibility over the low end and attack of your kick?

The drums are the rhythm and groove of any track. And, the kick drum is the heartbeat of that groove. So you know how important it is to get the kick drum right in the mix. Big Kick was created with the sole intention of allowing you to achieve the results you have always wanted.

BigKick gets rid of the frustration and makes kick drum design easy and enjoyable. Download the demo now and discover how quickly you can get great professional results.

Features

• Combines synthesis for flexibility and samples for extra-character
• Drag-and-drop: instant sample import and export to your DAW or Desktop.  Drag finished samples straight out of the plugin to your host’s sampler. Or drag sounds straight from your track onto the Load Sample button to layer them with the synthesized kick drum!
• Flexible: Replicates most electronic kick drum sounds - with creative options to help you create the sounds of the future
• Big library: Factory library includes >300 attack types and 110 presets
• Tuned kick drums. Set the pitch to match your bass-line, or play the pitch of the kick drum with your MIDI keyboard
• Use your own samples: Easily integrates with your existing sample libraries
• Easy-to-use: Easier to use than any previous kick drum design tool. No complex envelopes to set - just sensible knobs for instant results
• Auto-play: click auto-play for an instant kick-drum metronome. Get started jamming without programming a single midi note
• Bonus samples: 100 free kick drums from the Loopmasters library come with the demo – yours to keep whether or not you buy the plugin!
• Creative options: Overdrive, three unique waveforms and a hard clipper
• Two kick drum body models: Original (covering a range of styles) and tough (which gets a harder-edged more electronic sound – great for trance and other clean, tight and hard genres)
• Safety first: A high pass filter helps you avoid nasty surprises in the sub-bass
• Preset management: Great new preset handling features, including folder creation, renaming, easier preset browsing, preset-pack creation tools and much more
• Fine-tuning: Built-in EQ to make your presets sit right in the mix quickly and a punch control to tuck the drum into your mix, or have it leap out and smack you in the face
• Split output mode can be enabled using the button on the front of the UI.  This routes the attack samples to a separate channel in your DAW for further processing, allowing the user to use other plugins for processing the kick attack and body separately
• The second sample layer allows for more fine-tuning of your kick sound

Broaden Your Horizons

Achieve the stunning stereo your mix deserves. StereoSavage 2 provides an innovative stereo toolbox, combining tried and tested studio techniques with emulations of modern and classic tools that will bring your mix to life.

Generate stereo from mono with the 'Detune', 'Delay', 'Reflect' and 'Split' programs. Place sounds precisely in the stereo field with the 'Width', 'Pan' and 'Rotation' adjustment tools. Create movement and chorus-like effects with the 'LFO' function, and retain a solid low end with the adjustable 'Bass Bypass' tool.

Features

• Create stereo from mono sources for richer soundscapes
• Control the placement and width of stereo sources. Separate instruments within the stereo field
• Use the rotation effect for an incredibly natural-sounding pan
• Get lush wide vocals in seconds
• Quick simple controls for achieving a ‘big sound’
• Add motion and excitement with modulation
• Retain great mono compatibility with the bass bypass feature
• Reduce the number of vocal takes required for rich, tight, backing vocals

New in Version 2

Input Routing

StereoSavage 2 has a much clearer and more capable input routing section.

You can specify whether your input signal is to be taken from the left, right or both channels, and it can cope with MS inputs, as well as allow you to invert the phase of either channel if necessary. These are things that may be common requirements if you are recording with stereo microphone setups, but have creative uses for people working in the box with soft synths as well.

The Centre Panel

The centre panel includes all the metering.  

There's a modern goniometer implementation. The out-of-phase signals are below the 45-degree line.

There's also a phase correlation meter. That's the horizontal bar at the bottom. If the phase correlation meter is on the right you have a mono-compatible signal, if it goes all the way to the left you might find some of your mix disappears in mono. You can check it by pushing the MONO button in the output section.

There are also input and output level meters as the processing can sometimes affect the volume level and you'll want to balance the output so you can do sensible A/B comparison.

At the bottom of the centre panel you have three controls:

• Pan
• Width 
• Rotation

Pan and width you'll already likely be familiar with from your DAW.

Rotation is interesting and essentially pans the centre signal, leaving the sides in place. If you use rotate on a drum loop with some reverb on it, you'll hear this effect clearly with the drum kit moving left and right but the reverb staying put. It really is magical and very natural sounding, unlike a simple pan.

There's also A 'pre' button. This moves the panning before the width control allowing for more dramatic pan sweeps with some out-of-phase enhancement from the width.  You can make the sound appear to pan outside of your speakers.

There's also the bass bypass which applies a crossover to the input signal allowing you to apply stereo processing to only your higher frequencies and leaving your bass untouched.  Or you can use the brand new mono bass feature to sum your bass line into a single mono signal.
