had it, sold it, do not regret it. Indeed, you can get some nice kicks out of it, but so can other, much cheaper kick modules. I really didn't like the nasty clicks as soon as you introduce transcients. Longer decays seem to cut the waveform when a new trigger is received and the decay is still there. This might not be an issue for people who are more looking for aggressive kick drums with lots of harmonic content. I always had trouble to find the right amount of initial click without beeing too random because of the cut waveform issue. Maybe it was on me and didn't fully get that concept. The sounds in the upper pitch register weren't my cup of tea either. The dynacntrl concept is a fresh approach, but I don't think it is a game changer. I found myself most of the time modulating some parameters with a pitch sequence from my sequencer to get the desired repetive result with variations. No need for all these sample & holds. Of course you would need some attenuaters if you want to modulate multiple parameters with the same modulation source. That's handy. I also had wished to get a ducking output on a 800$ module.
I hate demos that have little to know patches. Mostly talking. Just play the thing. I skip through and hear talking. Rabid elephant makes great gear. Let us hear it!!!
@@gladlawson61plenty of sound demos out there, i make thorough explanations so ppl can decide if they like how the module works, not just how it sounds
@@benlawrence4096 it's modular, you have to treat it right in every module and It's a kick! no complex science behind it. I'm sure I can make same sound with my 120$ Kick.
honestly given all the hidden features and the extended development time I feel like it might not be that excessive. Like I'm never going to be able to afford one but they've clearly not spared any expense in making the absolute best thing they can
@@M_orcan I mean it’s a pretty basic kick drum. They’re hardly inventing the wheel here. It does sound good but yeah… I stand by my statement. When you can get an entity ultra kick for under 4bills, or a Jomox 09 mk2 for 400, 800 for this is taking the piss.
How does this compare to the SSF Ultra kick and Jomox? Would love to get some insight, esp in the context of techno

would love to be able to hear it in a mix.. a patch example

had a version of this video with music initially but i’d rather show the raw sound and let ppl imagine what they would do with it

Oh, and prices are getting ridiculous everywhere, aren't they?
Congrats on shipping such a deeply considered instrument. So many creative ideas here.
$800 and the jacks are plastic sleeved, they're taking the piss now
Great review, nice job !
It’s so basic, but yet expensive...
Module owner here. It’s not basic, if anything it’s a lil too broad / fiddly. Treat it right though and WALLOP!

very clear, nice one? would it be possible to use Dynacontrol to change the type of sound (f.i. kick/snare)?
absolutely, with the right settings you can morph between types of drums. no noise source in PD tho, so not the best for sd/hh
Thank you
Nice module but $800 is just ridiculous. They really are taking the piss.
