HOW IT WORKS
Drag a WAV, AIFF or FLAC onto the window. The sub and the top are separated with a zero-phase crossover. The sub is measured one cycle at a time and rebuilt as pitch and amp curves, phase-locked to the original. Tune it, stretch it, reshape the click.
Set the body note. Draw the sweep.
Straight lines between points. Bend any segment with its handle. The last point holds, so the body never drifts.
Draw the AMP for the right kick shape.
Pull the LENGTH in for a tight club kick, or extend and re-shape with the AMP. Every MIDI pattern is identical, at any tempo.
Click EXPORT to save a WAV, or drag the button straight onto a track in your DAW. Every hit is identical, so what you export is what you played.

FEATURES
Pitch, amp, click, distortion and harmonics are all editable curves on one timeline. Straight lines between points, bend any segment with its handle.
Drop a WAV on the window. The sub is measured cycle by cycle and becomes the pitch and amp curves, phase-locked to the original. What is left, the top, lands in the click layer. OSC + CLICK reproduce the sample; now tune, stretch and reshape it.
Lock a point and the waveform after it stays identical no matter what you change before it. Every hit is bit-identical, also in a fast MIDI pattern.
Eleven factory clicks, your own click library, or the top of an imported kick. Pitch, start, length and filters per click.
Band-limited distortion (soft, hard, tube, fold) within its own frequency band, plus a SHAPE high EQ. Oversampled, resets per note.
Presets with categories, undo/redo, ms-locked curves when you change the length, zoom and pan, GUI size 50 to 150 percent, drag-to-DAW export.
