• Who is Dropkick for? Dropkick is designed for sound designers and electronic music producers, catering to various genres such as EDM, Drum & Bass, Techno, Trap, House, and more.

• Features - 8 in 1: The plugin offers eight processors, each finely tuned for multiple genres, providing a comprehensive kick toolkit.

• Power and Focus: Utilizes a high-pass filter technique to enhance the low end, resonating at the fundamental frequency and removing unwanted sub-harmonics for a strengthened and extended bass.

• Phase Warp: Implements phase warping to shape transient character and lower peak levels, using analog-modeled filters for smooth transitions and added warmth.

• Control the Power: Includes features like DAMP (removing higher frequencies), CLEAN (dynamically removing boxiness), and TRIM (shortening kick tail) to allow precise frequency content shaping.

• Get More Punch: SNAP enhances attack and punch with an advanced transient processor, dynamically shaping the attack stage based on frequency content for maximum impact without significant peak level increase.

• Enhance: FIRE uses psychoacoustic techniques to enhance the kick's sound, re-synthesizing the low end and harmonically enhancing mid/high frequencies, while OVER employs an "over the top" compression technique for detailed highs and controlled mids.

• Realistic 3D GUI: The plugin features a realistic 3D GUI that adapts to user needs, offering flexibility in size adjustment for screen space optimization.

• Audio Quality and Compatibility: Provides 64-bit internal audio processing, ensuring high-quality audio at any sampling rate, including 192 kHz or higher.

• Smart Bypass and Intelligent Sleep on Silence: Smart bypass management prevents clicks or harmful noises during automation, and intelligent sleep mode conserves CPU when processing is unnecessary.

In summary, Dropkick is a versatile plugin designed for sound manipulation and enhancement, offering a range of tools to shape and optimize kick drum elements for various electronic music genres.
