Any suggestions for Kick Drum VSTi

Post by machine »

I want to find plugins that can make phat kick drums. Looking for that teKno, breakcore sound. Or maybe some old skool 808/909 sounding stuff. Prefferably VST (Bitwig only supports this so far and I really want to give it a chance it is a pretty cool DAW), but any native linux plugin will do.

So what are your Kick Drum favourites?

AFAIK, there is no big phat kick drum native linux vsti. I'd go for the internal sampler of Bitwig, with a bunch of samples and filters.

Zynaddsubfx can do it, it gives you a lot of control. There is a video on Youtube by unfa where he demonstrates how to do it.
Bitwig's synths can do that job though, layered if necessary.
