Is this the BEST kick ever? // Steady State Fate Entity Ultra Kick

[@alejandropnt]

You are an ultra kick…ass module reviewer :) The GAS is huge on this one, really like how it blurs the line between kick and organic synth voice

[@RedMeansRecording]

Every single patch in that intro segment is dope

The best intro patches on KZbin if that’s a thing haha

Neighbours will HATE this one module ... I was about to buy a Basimilus, but now I think I'll get this first. I wanted a module to do typical static tradition 808 kick drums but also tuned trap 808 basslines. But also to be able to do house and techno kicks as needed.

i bought one of these primarily based on your video and can i just say it sounds incredible. so smooth and clean. everything you would expect in a kick and more

[@Alphastare23]

YOU are AN ultra KICK!!!

[@lordvonzipstor5304]

I'm a UK supporter to the bone but even though, if I did like the ENV out to CHAR in, giving it more transient with lower DEPTH values, I will continue my sound design work by using external digital modules (eg: BitWig) in order to raise it's performance to maximum. Note that, it would have been nice to have 2 outputs, as in, one for the transient and one for the tail, since (as per my understanding it's dual core) in order to treat them separately. Example, AM to click and convolver to tail and instead, have to separate them with DAW trickery. But yes, lots of possibilities if you want to spend time mucking around being creative playing trumpet with it YO. I love it for just it's unprecedented tonal footprint just as a base going throug digital effects or naked for my industral techno projects. Thanks for this video.

[@DivKid]

Hi Robert that's great to hear thank you. There's a massive amount of videos if you're wanting to check out certain functions. I try to make demos that show functions and creative/musical uses so hopefully people take the ideas and apply them to other modules and gear too. All the best for your modular journey!

I’m looking at modular, I figure it’s about 4K to even start with what I want. Save save save👌

The peoblem is its open endedness I think. After those 4k you're gonna very quickly need another 4.

[@Bork_In_Volcanic]

Start small, figure what you want next playing it. I've got completely different rack after a year, to fit my live performance needs better. Literally, from Erica Techno System clone down to Jomox, IME, Mutables and stereo processing. Out of my old rack only the Bassline remains.

Dear DivKid, thank you very much for this video. I’ve bought that module, tried it out intensively and at the end sold in again. For the style of my music it wasn’t the right one. Never really got a kick drum out of it which I was happy with. Now I’ve just got the Portal Drum from Rabid Elephant and will check that one out. Sounds promising.

[@DivKid]

Hello, thanks for the supportive comment much appreciated. Sorry to hear the module wasn't for you, I hope the Portal helps you find the kick sounds you're after. Do you have kicks in other formats you like to use?

[@snorrevonflake]

Nice, i would like to see attack parameter on drum modules, i love wump wump sounds.

[@DivKid]

attack? time to make things fade in? Run the sound into a VCA with a rising envelope would be a solution. Not the same as just having a control to do it though I know.

[@TOMLEW1S]

This sounds fucking badass :D

[@DivKid]

Yeah mate, totally killer. Andrew has (yet again) nailed it.

[@zbsfm]

good to see you back ben!

[@timcosgrove]

Sounds amazing. Bonus: it is not $800!

[@Space_pulse]

lol. Is that a jab at the Portal? I love Rabid Elephant, but that’s a good one! Natural Gate is totally amazing and I had no regrets ordering one (and waiting like 8 months for it). I think the Portal is going to be worth it as a complex voice (thing goes into bonkers territory and sounds unique). But $800 is tough to justify if you look at it as just a kick drum(unless you have a trust fund or something). Rabid Elephant envelopes are some of the snappiest I have heard, and the build quality is the best I have personally ever seen. Portal is going to be sick. Lots of features (and dollars) for the Hp. But yeah, this is way more bang for your buck as a kick module.

[@grindedfranz]

awsome patches!!!

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

What is a good module for adding offset voltages?

[@DivKid]

I recently covered the IOU by Apollo View Modular (with lots of ideas for utility patches) that adds an offset in some interesting ways kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn22c52VZdxmaJo

[@AJOLDMUSI]

You are an ultra kick like the patch sounds like first time blowing a horn Plus how HOTTT module sounds double A+ man

[@darylccc]

Sounds fantastic, and to me sounds like a DPO / Buchla 259 for alot of the sounds. Im still prefer using other stuff for making bass drums and the like, VCO's, filters and the like. Still nice to have dedicated modules sometimes though. Thanks for the vids/tutorials/ideas Ben, always great!

[@DivKid]

Hi Daryl, yeah there's some overlap in complex oscillator like tones for sure. I see both sides of it, like you I really enjoying building percussion from separate building blocks but I also appreciated a distilled and refined option in a smaller footprint. The advantage over the latter here is that all (or most) of those building blocks are exposed and it's still very modular, which led to me being able to push it around into more than just kicks.

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

I love using a combination of modules to create my drums since I end up sampling them to use as one shots anyways. However, seeing one module that effortlessly does what would usually take my entire small system to do half of is kind of mind blowing.

[@Datacustic]

This IS the best kick on the planet. And it’s incredible deep and full of interesting oomph and transient. You can use it in n a production and can be seriously taken without any processing. It’s perfect

[@jedgould5531]

Well done Ben. A return to form!

[@Talkerus]

Interesting, almost as good as a Jomox kick.

[@DivKid]

almost, different, better, worse etc. I like having options and it's good to consider them. Some key features you prefer on the Jomox?

[@richmille]

Hello, would you suggest this, rather a JoMoX Modbase 09 or? I’m searching an Euro module JUST to made some “808s”…I mean the 808style bass drum. I don’t need an exact replica of the sound (or would go to TipTop or other clones) but I need a Module that can offer a vaste range of bass(drums) in the 808s realm.

[@DivKid]

There's plenty of that 808 boom and lots of options to shape and customise (and modulate) all that with the Ultra Kick. I haven't had the ModBase here to really have much of an opinion or to compare the two. I'd also take a look at the Shakmat Battering Ram, much simpler and smaller but a good sound and capable of those sorts of booms too. I'd say the Ultra Kick is the most flexible with a wider range, but it's good to think about much range or how specific things need to sound.

[@richmille]

@@DivKid thanks a lot a will check the Battering Ram too ♥️🙏
