TR-808 / TR-909 ULTIMATE KICK DRUM SYNTHESIZER
KickStomper
Every hit is the same hit — measured, not assumed.
Thousands of heavy, punchy kicks, ready for the club. Because they're algorithmic, you can tune them within an inch of their life — and beyond. Hit EZ for a random kick that might be your new favorite, or base one off the provided analog templates (CR-78, TR-606, TR-808, TR-909) and let it wander from there. Monophonic and phase coherent — every note-on resets the oscillator phase and the amp envelope, so stacked hits sum instead of flamming.
- Continuous 808/909 topology morph reshapes the pitch envelope, body core, ring droop, and transient spectrum all at once — not a preset crossfade
- LO-FI is the voice's own clock, not a bitcrusher bolted onto the output — the oscillator, noise, and envelopes all run at the reduced rate, companded like the real hardware instead of linear
- DIRT: ALL or DIRT: ATTACK routing — drive the whole voice, or isolate the grit to the transient and click while the sub stays clean, because driving the body stretches the decay (a saturator is a compressor)
- Dual compressors — a dbx-160-style VCA and an opto — blend in parallel with DYN MIX, both off by default, since one isolated kick has nothing to compress against
- Learn a kick straight from audio: drop in a reference and it renders candidates through the real engine and matches by measurement, not eyeballed parameters
- Four factory banks (CR-78, TR-606, TR-808, TR-909) for guided EZ rolls — tick a bank and VARY controls how far each roll wanders from the reference
- 16-step sequencer with full parameter locks on all 30 sound parameters, plus drawable AMP and PITCH envelopes laid right over the live scope
