    In this tech tip tutorial using Kick 2, Phil shows us how to assimilate and synthesize a favourite kick sample, even if the sample isn't perfectly clean and has artefacts so we can then tune and add effects to use in our tracks.

    4:19 THIS is why Kick 2 needs a log/linear-toggle.
    Watch how cumbersome and messy it is to match up points in time.
    In Linear mode you could easily set the nodes,
    then toggle to Log mode and continue.
    *PLEASE* Sonic Academy, add a log/linear-toggle *PLEASE*
    I need this feature 😫
    The toggle could be another square next to CLICK VIEW 🟨🟩🟥
    Or perhaps at the right end of the x-axis scrollbar..
    PLEASE Sonic Academy :3
    I give you money

    Would be great to have some sort of "automatic matching phase of a imported sample" in kick 3 (or even better, in a future kick 2 update) to have all this process automated :)

    UI changed request! This would be a lot easier to use if the nodes matched up 1:1 with the wave shape. I bought this synth a while back and I do like it, but that's a change you guys should *really* look into making. It would be much more enjoyable to use. Please fix this and push out an update to those of us who purchased this already.

      I had the same issue! I found out how you can do it by watching this video :ua-cam.com/video/tKX3DJOzcq0/v-deo.html
      Basically crop and consolidate the sound you want in the DAW. Then right click and find it in browser so you open a window with it in your file explorer.
      Now go back to kick2, and when you drag the sound file from the browser into the plugin window the click panel on the right will highlight. Which ever one you drop it into the click will be replaced with your file

    Would be great to be possible to design the waves a lot freely.
    I mean, I'm trying to "mimic" a very simple real 808 short kick but it seems impossible.
    The click (attack, snap, transient) area seem to understand that there demands tons of wave spikey cycles.
    But the click from the 808 kick is simple, 2 almost rounded (curved) cicles, then it starts a way lower freq, as you may expect...
    I'm really struggling to do that click...
    And above that, if you try to look closer and start mimicking the kick, don't do that.
    Because when you step back on zoom, man...
    ...all your work is lost...

    Great video bro... On this you actually can make your own 808 or regular kick. I've had this for years and still use it all the time.. It is the best to me without having an ILok... I've never downloaded any presets I make my own from scratch.. Try it you'll see after you get use to the parameters... Peace Stay Up

    Just bought Kick 2, one of the best vsts out there it's so good! People might say it's not one of the best but I make trance and techno and the kick is vital. Going through my sample library then messing around with effects and such is a big pain but this makes it so much easier to get a kick in tune and perfect for the track it's awesome.

      You can create a new sub for that kick that will be in tune with your track, and also gives you massive control of length, pitch and mixing between click and sub.

      There are a lot of other artifacts along with the kick if you just copy it. Plus you can tweak this through synthesis which in most cases is a lot better than altering a baked waveform.
