KFXT-41 Techno Kick Processor

The kick drum is the most basic element / building skeleton of every techno track. From minimal techno to Berlin, Detroit, Schranz, hardcore techno or mainstream techno, kicks are important in every subgenre and create the character of the track.

Thanks to the KFXT-41 Techno Kick processor, you can create fat, dense, intense kick drums from simple kicks (e.g. 808 / 909 or basic env-pitch modulated sine samples), including their processing: spatial reverberation, maximum density at bass frequencies, resonance and percussiveness, saturation and full volume. An instant techno kick rumble generator — fast and easy.

You no longer have to worry about finding a suitable combination of samples or tuning dozens of external plug-in effects to achieve a real techno kick. KFXT-41 contains a saturation and bass-boost analog unit for maximally fat bass and sub-bass, two analog kick resonators for highlighting the percussiveness / ringing of the mid frequencies, a special analog sine saturator, and a monoizer (because bass and sub-bass must be mono to eliminate problems on large club/festival sound systems).

In addition, the plug-in contains a tuned techno reverb whose ambient component can be filtered with 9 different filters, including filters that emulate the sound of hardware DSP-chip-based synthesizers with a very organic, liquid sound and sharp acid resonance. It includes 35 diverse presets, which can sound different depending on the input kick sample (we recommend tuning individually for each sample). You can experimentally use it in other genres like ambient, EBM and experimental, and with techno percussions too.
