At the heart of any electronic or hip-hop track, the foundation of the rhythm section, lies the kick drum. Its power, character, and feel define the groove and energy of a composition. Finding the perfect kick drum sound can be a real challenge. Many producers spend hours searching for samples or adjusting complex synthesizers, trying to get that “punch” and “fatness”. What if there’s a tool specifically designed for this task, that makes the process fast, intuitive, and efficient?
KickMe! Too: Your Ideal Kick Drum Maker
Introducing KickMe! Too – a VSTi plugin designed specifically for generating powerful and characteristic bass drum sounds. Forget about endless sample searches or complex settings. KickMe! Too gives you direct access to creating kick drums that cut through the mix and provide your tracks with the necessary foundation. This instrument was developed by the Synth School team and is a modern reincarnation of the legendary KickMe! synthesizer from the Scope platform, created by Adern.
Although the plugin was developed using SynthMaker, its true power lies in the unique, hand-written elements. The developers have integrated specially coded oscillators, envelopes, and improved MIDI control, which together create a unique sound character, that same special “OOMF” that distinguishes a regular kick drum sound from a truly impressive one.
Features and Advantages
KickMe! Too perfectly performs one function: creating first-class bass drum sounds. This focus allows for exceptional quality and ease of use. Among the key advantages are:
- Specialized kick drum generation: Designed exclusively for creating bass drum sounds, optimizing the interface and capabilities.
- Ease of control: The intuitive interface allows you to quickly adjust the desired sound without delving into complex menus.
- Powerful and “fat” sound: Generates kick drums with a distinct “punch” on the attack and a dense “fat” sustain, ideal for dance music, hip-hop, techno.
- Unique “OOMF”: The use of hand-written oscillators and envelopes gives the plugin a special, signature character that adds depth and richness to the sound.
- Legacy of classics: Reincarnation of KickMe! for Scope, combining time-tested sound solutions with modern technologies.
Ease of Use and Compatibility
One of the main goals of KickMe! Too is user-friendliness. You can quickly dial in different kick drum variations, experimenting with a few basic parameters that affect the sound character: from short, clicking to long, booming, or dense and springy.
The plugin is available in VST format for the Windows operating system (Win32). This ensures its compatibility with most popular DAWs on this platform. Simply download, install, and add it to your project to immediately start creating drums that will make your tracks sound more powerful and professional.
If you are looking for an effective, easy-to-use, but extremely powerful tool for creating the perfect bass drum sounds, KickMe! Too is what you need.
