01Overview

Dusty S950 Kicks is an expansion pack from Plugin Boutique that adds 64 kick drum presets to BigKick. The presets are built with a classic tape machine and the S950 12-bit sampler, a combination the developer ties to vintage hip hop, house and electronic production. Each preset is layered in BigKick, so the kicks can be used directly or reshaped with the generator's parameters. The pack is aimed at producers who want warm, full-bodied kicks without designing them from scratch.

03In depth

Sound Character and Vintage Processing

Plugin Boutique says the kicks were made by running sounds through a tape machine and the S950 sampler. The S950 is known for a rich, warm and slightly gritty sound, which the developer notes still appears in modern productions.

The presets are layered inside BigKick, which gives each kick a full body. The developer describes the set as precise and professional across all 64 presets.

Workflow with BigKick and Its Attack Layers

The pack includes 32 attack hits and 32 attack presets. These let you add or reshape the transient of a kick, separate from the body of the sound.

Presets load through the new BigKick Preset Manager. You can use a preset as it comes, or adjust BigKick's parameters to shape a unique kick for your track.

The developer lists hip hop, lounge, house and drum and bass as target genres.
