01Overview

This expansion pack is the sixteenth BigKick expansion from Plugin Boutique. It contains kick drum presets created by Current Value and Dean Rodell, who perform as MachineCode, drawing on their kick drum sample collection. The presets are aimed at Drum & Bass producers who want rounded, driving kicks for current productions. Because the pack loads into BigKick, it extends an existing drum generator rather than working as a standalone instrument.

What Is Inside the Kick Presets and Attack Hits

The pack includes 64 kick drum presets, which the developer describes as rounded and driving. Alongside them are 32 attack hits and 32 attack presets, so you can shape the transient of a kick separately from its body.

The presets come from album projects on EatBrain and Critical Music. Plugin Boutique says the sounds were built for future Drum & Bass, so they suit producers working in that style.

Loading Presets with the BigKick Preset Manager

Presets are loaded into BigKick through the BigKick Preset Manager. You load the pack, then browse and select the kick and attack presets from within BigKick.

The full BigKick Drum Generator is required to run this expansion. Without it, the presets cannot be loaded, so check that you own or have access to BigKick before purchasing.
