Plugins KICK Synth
1

Hi all :)br
br
I’ve been using KICK for a couple of weeks and imo it’s by far the most useable plugin for creating sine swept kicks.br
br
However there are some points that I feel would greatly improve the usability of the plugin.br
br

  1. Firstly, You should be able to hover over any curve and add a node via rightclick without disturbing the curve.br
    br
    At present adding a node changes the curve either side of the node completely which is totally undesirable behaviour.br
    br
  2. Secondly, there needs to be a zoom function so that you can really zoom in on the tap for finer editing. It’s impossible to see what’s going on in those crucial initial milliseconds.br
    br
  3. Thirdly, another option to Gate where a release envelope is triggered upon note off.br
    br
  4. Finer control over the frequency and the ability to be able to pitch up even when the pitch slider is at max.br
    br
  5. Ability to lock or group nodes and shift them around whilst keeping their relationship to each other intact.br
    br
  6. Nodes should have labels for their position in time as well as frequency.br
    br
    At present my main issue is the lack of zoom. Crafting of the all important tap part of the sweep is far too hit and miss and fiddly (and it is where the all important character resides!)br
    br
    Are there any plans to improve the plugin further in any upcoming updates?br
    br
    Thanks for a great plugin :)br
    br
    Cheersbr

Great feedback! Thanks.br
br
There’s is no doubt we will update kick at some point. It’s still at a very early stage so still a long way of before we can release anything new.br
br
We are looking into expanding the dev team so hopefully if that goes well it could speed things up.

Hi,br
agree, it’s a great plug in, so quick to get just the right sound.br
Good suggestions on improvements.br
br
I would also like to see an output ceiling on the limiter for easier gain-staging.br
-12 db makes other plug-ins handle the signal better.br
br
And a preview button…br
br
Cheersbr

Hey Phil LOVE the KICK vst and Im currently enjoying the ANA synth, scrob had some great ideas for improvements. The zoom in is definitely a factor that would be greatly appreciated. I was browsing through the point blank site and they have a Max Live Instrument for creating risers and sweeps and that sort of FX. I was then reading a few of the post here in the forums and read somewhere that it was possible to create similar FX with ANA is this true?
