Cool. I think I'll buy it to support you guys. I don't think its leaving Devious Machines Duck in the dust though. I think many of the features are the similar, right? Except the Kickstart 2 sidechain + target waveform display is more useful. And I like how the adjustable end point works. Also I think it's cool that you can use arrows to move the ducked region left or right! On the other hand Duck lets you draw your own curves, & allows setting duck percentage levels for both a high and low crossover whereas Kickstart 2 has only a single crossover. For instance, if I want some amount of ducking applied to the high signal, and a different amount for the low signal, and some amount of signal unaffected, I think Duck is better on that one. It will be nice to have both and see which makes the producer happy!

So, i have different group busses in Ableton (12), each of them have a Kickstart 2 on them and contain several instrument tracks. I want all of the Kickstart 2's to be triggered by a MIDI Trigger, so all the instruments per group get sidechained exactly the same way. I also have parts in the song, where there is no Kick, but i still want the pumping effect to happen. Also it's not 4-on-the-floor. How can i use one single MIDI-trigger for all the Kickstart 2's across all group channels? In Ableton i can select a Sidechain-Input (for Audio triggering -that works well), but i can't set a MIDI-Input. And as i said: Audio triggering is not really an option, because there are parts where i want the sidechain effect for the groove, but no Kick is playing.
@ianditwin74435 ай бұрын

No, Kickstart 2 is a fast and focused plugin designed for kick/bass sidechain ducking. It does not have preset saving, or more complex curves.

FL Studio handles that automatically (Kickstart tells FL Studio that latency has changed); you might just need to stop the song once and play again for the latency change to pick up (some DAWs do that immediately, not sure if FL Studio does).
