Design your own drum sound with Ultrakick from Isotonik Studios.

Isotonik Studios has a cool Plugin dedicated to create drum sounds. Ultrakick provides a drum synth plugin running in MAX. It is made out of 2 oscillators and a noise generator. These are controlled by 8 ultra flexible enveloppes + overdrive and filters.

I’m in the process of finishing a song that lacks kick. It was natural to dig into the new UltraKick to create the sounds I needed for my track.

Follow me as I go through the features of UltraKick.

 

The audio Flow

Ultrakick is a very potent drum synth with enought control to create not just kick but any sound for a drum kit.

In this video I show you around Ultrakick and how I created my sounds and easily exported them to .wav files.

Phonolyth Velvet Machine – It can be a reverb but it would not be the right reason to have it. The velvet noise generator convoluted and controlled by an enveloppe can really open the possibilities. From weird spacy ambiances to rhythmic reverb I really like it!
