KickMaker

KickMaker free drum-machine by Teragon Audio

KickMaker is a free drum machine VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Teragon Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

KickMaker is a drum synth specifically designed to generate bass and kick drum sounds.

Features:

  • Four oscillator synthesis, with each oscillator being independently tuned in the range of 20Hz – 125Hz.
  • ADSR envelopes provided for each oscillator (with visual feedback), as well as a global ADSR curve.
  • Fine-tuning of oscillators allow for adjustment of frequencies within 0.1Hz.
  • Mixer for oscillators provides easy way of controlling the presence of each wave.
  • Per-oscillator white-noise generator.
  • Per-oscillator phase control.
  • “Frequency Expander” effect available for each oscillator. This effect will start the oscillator at a higher frequency and drop the frequency to the originally tuned value. The end result creates a realistic “smack” noise that can be used to generate a wide range of kicks.
  • Compression effect with variable attack, release, threshold, and ratio parameters.
  • Convenient preset manager allows for one-click saving and deletion of presets, as well as scrolling through preset banks.
  • Quick on-screen help reference.

It has super sound, good for EDM, especially for Dubstep nad FutureBass.

We made this plugin because we think it would be nice if a producer can quickly create kick or snare (or both) track.

Often, kick should be by itself in a track due to side chain purpose.

Also, you can audition kick or snare sound without changing kit or presets.

Ironhead:Spawn

Ironhead:Spawn free drum-machine by Ugo

Ironhead:Spawn is a free drum machine VST plugin developed by Ugo. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Ironhead:Spawn is a bundle of 13 individual polyphonic synths, built from mutated versions of the original Ironhead synthetic junk yard percussion kit instruments. They have grown, taken on lives of their own, and have been modified to be played across the keyboard like “normal” instruments. Their sound design abilities have expanded and they’ve been altered for a greater balance between percussive and melodic instruments, opening up a wide variety of sounds that are not possible with the original Ironhead, but while maintaining the unique Ironhead character and complimenting the original kit.

Kicks, snares, hats, cymbals, bells, rubbery basses, plucked strings, knocks, bonks, metallic smacks, tuned percussion, weird morphed noises… you can make entire pieces of music just using this bundle. The best way to think of the difference between Ironhead and Ironhead:Spawn is that Ironhead is a drum kit and Ironhead:Spawn is a whole band.

Features:

  • 13 plug-ins dedicated to unique percussive and melodic sounds.
  • Morphing for each instrument, controlled by LFO, mod wheel, or automation.
  • Minimalist vector based interface for fast, fun, easy sound adjustments.
  • Instrument randomizers.
  • Adjustable level of random tonal variations per-hit.
  • Dual delays in each synth.
  • Over 40 presets in each plug (over 540 presets in the bundle).

As an added bonus, just as with Ironhead, Ironhead:Spawn also comes with Tunguska… a morphing multi effect plug-in that includes a pitch shifting granulator, filter, envelop follower, distortion, downsampling, and delays.
