## What is TriplexKicker?

Synthesize massive kicks and thumping toms with the Triplex retro FM engine! 
Triplex Kicker is a 3 operator FM synth specializing in kick and tom sounds. The sound can easily be manipulated with 6 simple controls and the unique integrated envelope generator shapes the sound in a way that makes it sound like a perfectly compressed kick. Use the filter to do DJ-style highpass filtering, the LFO for experimental shape-shifting tom sounds and top it all off with a dash of soft clipping with the drive control. 

Features:
- 3 operator FM synth engine with up to 8 voices
- Macro controls over pitch envelope amount, pitch envelope decay, DJ-style highpass filter, attack, tail and "body"
- Sine wave LFO with shape control (sine, triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random) and user-definable destination
- Drive control

KNOWN ISSUES:
As of right now the standalone app does not support incoming Midi. Please use TriplexKicker hosted as an AUv3 plugin.
