01Overview

Sasquatch Kick Machine is built for shaping kick drums directly from the audio you already have. It can add subtle weight or completely redesign a kick, with separate controls for beater click and oomph. Because processing is based on analysis of the incoming signal rather than a sample library, the kick stays tied to your original sound. A free copy of its companion plugin, Little Foot, is included with purchase.

Beater Click and Oomph Controls

Sasquatch Kick Machine gives separate control over the beater click and the body of the kick. A simple three-knob interface supports quick adjustments by drag and drop, while advanced controls allow finer tuning of both the click and the oomph.

The developer says the triggering algorithm avoids the mistriggers and false triggers common with samplers, so there is no need to adjust transient sensitivity or hysteresis. The plugin is described as processing kick drums naturally at fast note values, such as 1/64th notes, as well as at quarter notes.

Not a Sample Replacement

Sasquatch does not play back a library of samples. Boz Digital Labs describes its processing as analyzing the incoming audio and applying filtering and synthesis to complement the existing kick drum. This makes it a fit for producers who want to keep the character of their own kick and build on it rather than swap it out.

The developer positions the plugin for both subtle enhancement and heavy sound design, noting that the intended outcome can be natural or deliberately unnatural.
