Best VST for Techno Kick 

Thanks for supporting our plugin! 🖤

I can always learn more ways to make a kick! The tutorial you made a few days ago is siiiiiick, with the Saturn method.

Ones worth mentioning is - Rob Papen RAW Kick & Punch2 (punch BD too) - TRK01 for Reaktor - Synsonic BD-909 (free mac,win) There's many more but usable in Techno those are worth checking out as well the ones mentioned in the video. Of course you can make kicks in operator or sylenth1 but it's fun to have some other stuff

🔥🔥🔥 love it

Great video, I learned about Chop Suey from you now, and now I need to have it. Looks so much cleaner than chopping and rendering in Ableton. :) I have one suggestion to add. But before it, I'll just say that I cannot imagine working on kicks without Psyscope as a visualizer. Especially to tame the dynamic range or length. And fit kicks with rumble and basses. But my main suggestion is Phase Plant. It became my go-to kick synth. It's a "generic" synth (though more like a modular in a box), but there are a few features that make it amazing for percussion synthesis and kicks: - It has a "Curve" type of envelope, which can be any shape, whether time- or tempo-based. So I can set the length to a quarter note and have a super precise volume or pitch envelopes matching my tempo. Edit it in any way you like. - Layering, including analog waves, wavetables, samples, granular, and noise. And process together. Anything can be FMd, including filter FM, or sample FM (!). - Disperser effect (paid extra), which might not be exactly for techno (more like psytrance zappy kicks), but used in moderation makes for very cool effect and actually reduces kick peaks. - Many great sounding distortions, filters, and dynamics effects all in one plugin. And you can apply those same super-precise curves to automate their parameters. So I can distort just the punch of one layer and leave the tail clean. Or the other way around. - Their transient shaper with clipper is amazing for percussions. So much better than Drum Bus "transient" knob. And this is also in their free bundle. - With Snapheap and Multipass you get amazing multiband processing. Basically insert *any* effect in any band. So not just multiband distortion or dynamics, but multiband everything and a complex combo. (The only disadvantage is that it's not linear phase, so can change the timbre and make transients less snappy). I very highly recommend it, even if just for curves - no Ableton built-in synth has such curve controls. In a similar fashion, when not using PP, I use Shaperbox to add some effects and precise curve shaping.

1-Nimble Kick 2-Raw Kick 3-BigKick Credland Auido 4-Serum. All four are spectacular but I prefer this last one because of how fast and versatile it is to create kick drums, it is incredible. Backbone (Steinberg).

I like the look of Kick 2, I use TRK01 a lot of shaping capabilities. Most of my kicks come from Jomox Mbase 11, I haven’t found any VST that can come close.

The BIA module packs a lot of punch… would love to see how you create techno perc loops with it. Its range is so huge I often lose control of it 😆

FYI for anyone considering PunchBox - just be aware it's not compatible with Apple silicon (M1/M2 chips), and D16 isn't planning to update. Can still be used if you run your DAW in Rosetta mode, it's just a bit of a pain and can impact performance. D16 is working on a V2 version that will be compatible, but it will be a paid upgrade. Also, Opal by Fors (Max for Live device, not VST) is another I'd add to the list. Really cool groove-box inspired drum synth plugin by former Elektron employees. Has an amazing sequencer and 4 different synth engines - a couple of them are excellent for making kicks.

2 more, good not just for Kick but percussion in general, excellent for Techno: Fors Opal Sugar Bytes DrumComputer

hey man how do you get the deep (bochka) type of kick?

Nice video! Any suggestion to get the kicks from David Guetta, Tiesto? Thank you!

Nice video. I like Bigkick as my main kick vst.

Thermal is also crazy good for experimenting with rumbles/top rhythms

I have Kick 2 but usally I just use your Kick racks ... if you can do a tutorial on kick 2 and how to used, I will be gracefully to you

This video made me buy SINEE's Chop Suey ! Would love to see a video from you using it to make a kick and process it through Ableton to get the kind of stuff you have in your samples packs (that I buy too btw 😀my wife is gonna hate you !)

Hello bro, i need to change my headphones for my home studio, which ones would you recommend? cimer !

X Eight 2 Its A kick & 808 sampler with fx & much settings

Drumazon 2 ? but sinee's one looks cool

layer them all, saturate them, and do revamping just with your soundcard

The best kick maker is still xfer serum, i think ... the best shaping control

Best VST to do a Kick is OPERATOR + Saturator + Drumbus = Massive KICK!

sinee is pronounced just as sine from our beloved sine wave, just as a side note 🙂

i use Kick 2 punchbox not bad too
