Easy Goto

Great sounding kick with the right controls to get what you need quick and easy. If you need one of those “classic” kicks, this works every time .

Great drum app!!

Very intuitive app with all the functions needed to shape great drum sounds and all sorts of kicks. I have Ruisemaker, Noir, Drumcomputer and a few others, i like them all but find myself using this app just as much. Very light weight on cpu and easy to use. It can get pretty tough and dirty too. Great surprise. Highly recommended.

Pointless really.

Brilliant tool to make hardcore kicks but not if you want to use those kicks in a tune.
User presets don’t save, closing a project then reopening it causes the synth to reset all parameters.
Once you make a kick, there is literally nothing you can do with it. Even if you try to close the project then export your kick as a sample, the parameters on the synth reset so there is no way to use the sounds you make.
Looking for a full refund. Such a shame because you can make really good kicks on this.
