Next Level Kick Synth. Recreate any kick with AI!

[@mattbukovski92]

What a game changer. Finally a plugin that is actually designed by a producer who knows what was missing in other similar plugins. Like this is exactly what I was waiting for but nobody was making it 😂

[@DBTHEPLUG]

Anyways... Kick 3

[@Barnet310]

This is literally everything I wanted to do in Kick2 but couldn’t. Thank you!

[@KelvinHemas]

Finally I can put Kick 2 to rest. Great work!

[@all6senses]

Kick 3 is coming out in 2 weeks bro :D

[@justinbraveheart26]

​@@all6senses i beta tested kick 3 and it doesn't come even close to kick ninja. Forget kick 3..even it's just for the ugly gui and fonts used.

[@bobsandj]

Hello Him, I tried your Kick Ninja plugin. after 60 minutes i realized, that you solved features lacking in other plugins. Mostly it is the automation of every parameter. So I can add distortion wherever I want. The "AI" ability (I think this is little snakeoil term, because smart written script is not AI) to re-create any sample kick in this synth is fantastic. At least for analysys and education. Allready bought full licence.

[@jaime5649]

This is big, man. Really like what you did with this! Please continue support 🙏

[@jorisvoorndj]

This Plugin is insane!

[@thehim]

🔥🔥🔥

[@griiseknoen]

A fine example of a plugin conceived by an actual MUSIC CREATOR. It's obvious that a lot of real experience and wisdom went into making this product. The result speaks for itself. This simply sets *a new standard* in Kick plugins!

[@RVNSoundz]

I'm speechless, I just tried it out and its insane. Best vst of 2024/25 for sure. Great job mr him

[@codeblackmedia]

I still think the most advanced goes to Psylab Pro for sure, has had the 1 click remake sample to synth (pitch & amp envelope) for a few years + linear timescale and all the rest + loads loads more, its kinda overkill tho. I do think your plugin is the more simplified version which imo is a great thing, because psylab pro kinda has too many things going on and is quite a lot less user friendly, oh and no macos. going to test this one out, always looking for new kick drum machines. Hope that there is drag & drop enabled in DAW for Cubase users?

[@fallenleaf24]

KickDrum is another one to look out for. I have that & Kick2 I prefer KickDrum.. & now this xD LOL stuck for choice. & then you mention PsyLab... Luckily I use a Mac so I can't add that the choice cue xD

[@shivbhalla9780]

@@fallenleaf24 Kick drum is still op because of the control you have over phase. I believe the dev is working on adding distortion/ saturation envelopes to the update as well.

[@codeblackmedia]

@@shivbhalla9780 you think kickdrum is OP, it's only a small % of what Psylab can do honestly. It's also been around for years doing this well before anyone, the only thing that is a bit meh is the user interface as it has SOOOO many possibilties, that it is not as simple & slimmed down as the rest of these kick plugins. But once you have learnt it, it's great, i recommend watching all the dev's tutorials, because there are a lot of hidden advanced features.

[@4EV-ER]

Same here, I have both and PsyLab is a beast but the UI and workflow is better in Kick Ninja, and also the import is much better (in psylab you can get suggestion, then make the sound yourself). Together with drum clone you can remake almost any drum sound in Kick Ninja and tune to your liking.

[@codeblackmedia]

@@4EV-ER What do you mean it gives a suggestion, Psylab has been able to recreate/clone for like 4 years and with the ability to dial in the precision (amount of data points). You literally drop a sample in, click a button and its cloned with the pitch and amp envelopes with a lot of control. Maybe you overlooked the feature, psylab is a bit of a mess with way too many features, i give you that. It isn't the easiest GUI and it doesn't make its features easily known.

[@OzgunOfficial]

Very very good plugin! Made my day!

[@ClintMoody]

This is absolutely awesome! Immediately purchased. Already an owner of Subninja. Instead of a license for it, I’d love to become a beta tester. Happy to send my resume. Much love from Nashville!

[@thehim]

jump on our discord: thehim.com/discord and send me a message, then I can add you to the beta channel :)

[@psyaum9903]

Really looking forward to playing with this. Even more so seeing as the Dev has a heart of gold. If it transitions into the app where on a winner 🏆

[@INITIATE_MUSIC]

this is gonna be a game changer! great stuff man thanks for making it!

[@cryptout]

Yeah I bought it, I think this will save time and teach me more about the Kick! Bedankt voor de discount!

[@trancephile2412]

the pitch tracking is insane , i was always thinking about a kickdrum plugin with ability to track the pitch of sub bass , i think this can be really helpful in trance music , i can't wait to put on test 🤩

[@4EV-ER]

Best Kick drum creation tool IMO so far and doesn't end there, you can throw pretty much any sound in there. I really like the possibility to craft waveforms at this level of control at your fingertips. I have a lot more complex synths but rarely you can zoom in the waveform like this and get such precise information of what key each section, or lock phase etc. so this definitely has its use cases in creation and learning what really makes those sounds tick. Kick 3 for example doesn't have as versatile OSC (has harmonics, but misses those basic waveforms and ability to blend just right amount at any point of the envelope), so lacks similar control. PS would be cool if at least two or all of the generators were switchable so could have more synth generators. And perhaps there could be "EQ" for the OSCs though, although perhaps more like a tone modificantion at OSC level rather than actual EQ, I believe KickDrum and some other synths (Vital) had something similar. But in a way you can already modify the waveform to pretty much all your liking so perhaps this is not necessity, still additional tools for faster workflow to get the sound to right direction are always nice.. Either way this is already great tool as it is, keep up the good work. 😊

[@jasonmalcolmgibbins]

Amazing plugin! 👏👏 Please consider adding FM in a future update. It could live in the OSC section with a show/hide button.

[@byronsanto]

I was looking for a kick generator to help with a live concert I’m mixing. Glad I saw this video before making a purchase. I’ll test Kick Ninja tonight.

[@kaitracid3168]

Looking great, would love to give it a test run.

[@nlhmusicofficial]

great work dude. i need this one !

[@doqstudios3397]

How clean does the imported sample need to be for the AI to be able to replicate it? It I have extracted stems from a song for example and import a kick, will it solve that?

[@Arcessitor]

I've been begging for this ever since synthplant came out, wondering why no drum synthesizer could actually do this. It seems like such an obvious feature. Gladly paying for this for solving a major inconvenience I was having.

[@AnimusInvidious]

Super cool fine level of control!

[@LONE-SOUL]

MAKE A SNARE PLUGIN, that analyzes snares and reproduce them just LIKE Kick-Ninja

[@4EV-ER]

I tried some other drum sounds, even synths sounds, it reproduced them quite ok I think. I like how you can even try to just synthesize without sample layer, got some interesting results with hihats...

[@manny_f]

Got the demo to try, just a couple of nitpicks, at GUI scale = x1.0, some fonts look blurry, which hinders readability. I've set mine to x1.5 and it's much better (I'm running my display at native resolution). And a small request, it would be very useful to be able to be able to copy and paste settings from one sampler to another, similar to the way oscillators are copy-pasted in Sylenth1. So far I'm really liking this plugin 😀

[@thehim]

Great feedback, thank you! Yes, copy/paste will be in the next update! :) In the meantime: you can copy envelope points around. But this is a bit cumbersome of you want to copy all the settings.

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Cool plugin Joost. Thanks. Got it. Something actually really useful also on 808 one shots.

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

How does this compare to Kick 2?

[@pluginplugio]

wow really sick plugin!!! 🤩

[@tiberman9159]

Great stuff man. How about a bpm based timescale as option?

[@xrabbz2010]

This looks amazing. The most promising kick synth yet. I could never get on with kick 2. I'm hoping to make some grainy techno like kicks with this, would love to figure out how to make the grainy kicks like the vengeance clubby kicks 🙏

[@antgreen3254]

ok im sold, off to press the buy button

[@onaucc9899]

How does it handle those huuuuuge techno rumble kicks? Having a plugin that's good for your "standard" EDM kicks is cool, no question. What's interesting though is how it's handeling material that's not "just" a singular sine wave that gets pitched down, but more complex stuff. Techno rumble kicks are essentially created by layering a bunch of stuff - leading to phasing in the tail and thus those "earthquake-like" textures. But they are tonally very, very unstable - don't have a cosntant pitch but more of a "tonal center". And i have yet to find a plugin that can do that really, really well.

[@NTMTR_OFFICIAL]

How was the AI trained ? With what data set I mean ?

[@SynthStreet]

Sick, have to try this ASAP!

[@bassterix7151]

but can it make zaagkicks

[@manny_f]

This looks superb

[@teetorelli3469]

Awesome stuff

[@hdj808]

i downloaded the trial to test out the ai recreation capabilities but when i drag a sample onto the ui all i get is a "no can do" symbol, is the ai thing only available in the paid version?

[@davidlindvall7267]

Just bought it, thanks! 👊

[@ILove_808]

How do i save my kicks?

[@boseyhad2doit2em]

please help! my output keeps reading g# and im not sure how to adjust my desired output note?

[@boseyboi]

Me too? My is updated. So it has a OG version and sampler. I love using the sampler to here it in different notes but then when I export it’s a higher frequency and not my last point

[@DocFUNKist]

How does this plugin recreate any kick? You will need to create it manually based on your own listening. It doesn’t work by simply uploading a sample and having it automatically recreated.

[@psyaum9903]

i was sold on it after hearing the sample alongside the original in the adrenakrohm video

[@adrenakrohm]

Happy to hear that!

[@StiwieMayday]

AMAZING

[@GermoStaalfeldt]

Anyone, can i also take sog from yotube and then take kick out of it? And remodel in ninja? IS it effective that way?

[@nickname-tv1ix]

Very nice. Everything Kick 2 should have been.

[@psyaum9903]

The discount above it's applicable for the combo deal?

[@TheVal1234567]

Just tried the demo the pitch tracking is not great to say the latest.

[@iwoszymczak5966]

Is it rly the pitch tracking? Or did you just not tune your kick

[@Aliel-Music]

next level shit 🔥

[@Guino7]

awesome

[@TrueFakeNews]

AI doesnt work for me on heavy processed hardtechno kicks :*

[@GermoStaalfeldt]

But u get sine wave and u add distortion urself in the end right?

[@floridaman9968]

1.5x GUI scale is a tiny bit too small, but 2x scale is way too big and 2x breaks resizing the window.

[@thehim]

Hmm, maybe we should have an option to freely scale the UI? What do you mean by 2x breaks resizing? It works here, can you send me some details on email? [e-mail] thanks!

[@Artek604]

Oh wow! :o

Well, soon we just think song and its ready, no need to do anything.

[@Yannleon_video]

Sorry to be the "hater" here, but I can't stand the "AI" hype anymore. It makes me wish that I was born in the 1950's, where no computer at all were existing. Golden age of humanity. Anyway... nice kick synth! ;-)

[@NTMTR_OFFICIAL]

You’re being too nice apologising. AI is right there in the title and one of the main selling points when coming across the thumbnail+title is recreating a kick with Artificial Inteligence. I’m willing to bet there was no AI involved in developing this vst. Dishonest marketing at best. False advertising and taking potential buyers for morons is more likely..

[@adknon9631]
