SynthDrum Kick

AUv3 Drum Synthesizer for iOS

SynthDrum Kick is a fast, focused Audio Unit plugin for designing punchy, modern drum sounds—fully synthesised, no samples required.

Create kicks from scratch in seconds. No digging through sample packs. No compromises. Just direct control over your sound.

Load multiple instances in your favourite AU host like GarageBand, Cubasis, AUM, or BeatMaker 3 to build full percussion setups with ease.

Go Further with the Included Sequencer App

Load up to 8 Audio Unit SynthDrum Kick instances into the included app and drive them with a powerful 64-step sequencer.

Independent channel lengths for polyrhythms
Built-in mixer
Integrated FX: reverb, delay, compressor, limiter

Create evolving patterns and complete rhythmic ideas—all in one place.

Sound Design Without Limits

From tight, punchy house kicks to deep, tuned trap bass, SynthDrum Kick gives you everything you need to shape your sound.

All sounds are 100% synth-generated, giving you total control and a unique result every time—no recycled samples.

A streamlined interface and purpose-built DSP engine keep everything fast, focused, and musical.
