Undo function is completely non-functional when using Kick 3 within Logic.

[kees1]

The Undo function is completely non-functional when using Kick 3 within Logic. This creates a critical workflow disruption where:

• Every accidental mouse click potentially destroys previous sound design work
• Users cannot recover from minor mistakes
• Plugin becomes frustratingly difficult to use

Impact

This bug essentially renders Kick 3 almost unusable in a professional DAW environment, as the standard undo mechanism fails to work as expected.

Request

Please investigate and resolve the Undo compatibility issue specifically for Logic Pro integration.Appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

What exactly is happening when you hit the kick 3 undo arrows? Is it not going back to a correct state or?

[MDT]

If I can add to this conversion as I have the same problem repeatedly and am in Logic too.

The undo doesn’t seem to work on anything.

For example accidentally, or intentionally, changing the ‘sub’ patch by clicking the arrows left or right. Pressing undo doesn’t return it to the previous patch. Even more frustrating pressing the opposite direction to return back to what the patch was before brings up something completely different.

Undo doesn’t work if you change the pitch points on wave shaper or any of the usual moves I make but might want to return back to.

I just have to keep saving version of kicks I’m happy with before daring to make any changes as the undo function doesn’t work. Or not in an intuitive fashion if it does.

Should these things I’ve mentioned just ‘undo’ or is it a glitch that need rectifying.

Cheers, Matt

Hey @MDT I have tested it in Logic here and can’t replicate. Undo function is working for changed sub-patches, nodes, harmonics, etc. etc. What macOS and LPX version are you on? Also, what version of Kick do you have?

Thank you for jumping in, seems we never received any further feedback from the other user and that was from December 2024, there’s been updates since then.

So 1st question, are you up to date with the latest KICK 3 version V1.1.2 ??

From what I know, the Undo/Redo features is using a buffer for non destructive operations within KICK 3, so there’s some actions that you won’t be able to “Redo”.

Could you please provide a step by step example we can try to reproduce here ?

Also, can you please let us know your system specs :

Intel or M chips ARM Mac ?
Mac OS version.
Logic Pro Version.

Thank you.

You might also want to try a Clean Install by re-downlaoding the latest version from your My Account/My Downloads/Plugins area and run the included UNINSTALLER before resintalling KICK 3 again.

The uninstaller won’t delete your User Presets.

Thanks for letting us know, you can also shoot us an email at support :

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Before I try uninstalling and reinstalling I’ve recorded you a loom that walks through everything and your questions. I’ll send by email though as it doesn’t allow on here to include a link.

I am on the latest version - V 1.1.2

I’m on an intel mac - iMac 2021 - 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9 - 128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

And Logic 11.0.1

Cheers, Matt

Hi Chris,

I’ve worked it out from my end mate, thank for getting back to me - here’s where the confusion was coming.

1. I was clicking the ‘Undo’ button not the back arrows. From a UI perspective having a big Undo button the most noticeable thing suggests that’s what you press to undo an action. that’s what both I and the original user ‘Kees1’ (I assume) were referring to.

2. One of the things that I regularly did is click of the sub patch labelled ‘sub’ by accident using the right arrow to skip to the next ‘Woody’. When I click the left arrow to go back it takes me to a different patch ‘TR809 03’ and ‘sub’ isn’t to be found anywhere.

So with both that and me clicking the wrong button (the undo’ button to try and ‘undo’) it was causing friction with my use of it.

The arrows on the sub patch still make it impossible to find the patch ‘sub’ again if I click off but now I’ve noticed the back undo arrows I can use them.

Cheers, Matt

Sorry for the delayed reply and thanks for your update on this and your email to support, it will be replied there as well.

OK got it ! It’s actually easy to get confused by this inside Logic indeed.

Logic is embedding plugins inside it’s own window display where you have access to those Redo/Undo controls, but not all plugins parameters will be linked to those controls or be in focus to respond to this.

So while it’s gonna work for some KICK parameters like Pitch or Pan knobs ( among others, it’s just an example ), you won’t have a full access to all parameters with Redo/Undo, so yes, you need to use the Backward/Forward arrows on the plugin itself. For comparison, you can see on the screenshots that KICK 3 only has it’s own window inside Ableton Live for example, so yep, easy to get confused and just something to keep in mind with Logic

Hope that helps !

Cheers
