KICK vs VAPolyLoop

KICK is an analog-style kick drum synth that does one thing well: making kicks that thump. No endless menus, just four knobs. WHAT YOU GET • Classic analog kick synthesis with pitch envelope and exponential decay • TUNE it anywhere from sub-bass rumble to punchy techno. Kick drum basslines, why not. • DECAY controls how long it rings (quick hits to booms) • PITCH envelope gives you that signature frequency sweep • TONE adds click/attack. • Velocity sensitive for dynamic performances • Includes standalone demo app and an AUv3 plugin in GarageBand • Run Mode allows host app to function as a metronome. WHY ANOTHER KICK DRUM? Because sometimes the perfect kick is the one you can tweak in 10 seconds without diving through seventeen submenus. KICK is retro-inspired, simple to use, and sounds great. You can never have too many kick drums.
