A complete solution for professional Kick drum creation

Kick 101 is a 3-voice Kick drum synthesizer, a complete solution for professional Kick drum creation in both electronic and acoustic productions. Kick 101 delivers perfectly tuned low end, precise transients, and smooth layering, all within a compact, intuitive plugin.

Each voice features 5 sound engines -sine, triangle, pulse, saw, and noise- optimized for minimal aliasing, while an External Input allows processing of any external material directly through Kick 101’s signal path, for accurate hybrid layering.

Shape your sound with dedicated Amp and Pitch Envelopes, independent Tone and Phase controls, plus a 4-filter EQ per voice. Enjoy detailed transient control, musical curve shaping, and precise tuning with intuitive control.

Bring your Kick through the finish line with: A powerful Saturator delivering from subtle warmth to bold, aggressive distortion, a transparent and precise Compressor, and a semi-Parametric Filter engineered for Kick Drum processing. A Master chain to polish, fatten, or demolish your Kick, with endless sound-design possibilities.

Optimize your workflow with Macro controls, a dual Preset engine (Global and Voice-specific) and multiple smart features. Kick 101 is built to deliver production-ready results with minimal friction.
