What Is Inside the Techno Kicks V2 Pack

The pack contains 64 kick drum presets, each built as a complete kick sound you can use directly or adjust. Alongside them are 32 attack hits and 32 attack presets, giving you a separate set of transient sounds to layer or swap in front of the body of a kick.

Because the attack hits and attack presets are separate from the kick presets, you can combine them to build a custom kick without starting from scratch. Loading is handled by the new BigKick Preset Manager.

Sound Character and Who It Suits

According to Plugin Boutique, Florian Meindl created the kicks using a combination of an analogue modular system, a 909, an 808 and a warm, rough mixer. The developer positions the sound for rough, analogue-style techno.

This makes the pack most relevant to producers working in techno or adjacent styles who want gritty, analogue-flavored kicks rather than clean, sample-based ones. Florian Meindl also runs his own techno label, FLASH Recordings, and is known for deep techno with organic analogue drums.
