THE INSTRUMENT

A kick is more than its sub.

Start with synthesis, layer your own audio, or clone a reference. Then shape the harmonics, the drive and the space around it.

See how Aegis brings kick synthesis, sample layers, rumble and kick cloning together in one instrument.

Pitch & amplitude

Draw directly over the waveform. A short, steep pitch fall gives a different impact to a longer descent; the amplitude envelope sets how the body and tail settle.

Tempo sync

Four sample layers

Pair the synthesised Sub with four independent sample layers. Blend clicks, body and texture, tune the layers, then bypass them individually to hear what each contributes.

HARM

Eight partials, four tuning families. Keep a harmonic series, stretch its spacing, explore drum resonances or set your own spacing in Manual. The examples move through all four with different partial balances.

Continuous inharmonicity

Dirth

Move through all six Dirth characters: Tube, Industrial, Gabber, Tight, Raw and Hot. Draw the drive envelope across the hit, and arrange distortion, filter and volume stages in your own order.

Rumble

Extend the kick with tempo-based Delay, a pitched Roll sequence or Reverb. Shape the rhythm and tone of the tail, with independent control of the direct Kick output.

FX Studio

Build the finishing chain in the order you need. Shape the spectrum with EQ, control dynamics with compression and limiting, or colour the sound with nine saturation models.

Kick cloning

Start from a one-shot, or cut a kick from a full track. In From Track, select and audition a region, refine its boundaries, then analyse and apply the clone. Continue editing its pitch, amplitude and sample layers in Aegis.

YOUR WORKFLOW

Presets, samples
and references.

Save your own starting points, import supported Kick 2/3 presets and bring your sample library into the instrument. Render the finished sound to a 24-bit stereo WAV, including its effects tail.

Bring your library along.

Kick 2/3 preset import can map supported settings and sample layers into Aegis. Original samples must remain installed. Advanced settings can produce import warnings, and automatic factory-library lookup is currently available on macOS.
