Inside FatSaw KickDrum

FatSaw KickDrum keeps the complete kick workflow inside one focused instrument: generate the body, shape the pitch and amplitude, filter and distort the signal, then finish it with integrated processing.

01 / SYNTHESIS

Build the body from the oscillator engine

Start from a dedicated dual-oscillator kick engine designed for electronic drums. Balance both sources, control phase and level, and create the body of the kick before the processing chain.

  • Two oscillator sources
  • Independent level control
  • Phase-aware kick construction
  • Fast workflow for hard kick foundations

02 / PITCH & AMP

Control the transient and decay precisely

Dedicated pitch and amplitude shaping lets the kick move from click to body in a controlled way. The envelope architecture is tuned for punch, consistent retriggering and fast editing.

  • Dedicated pitch envelope
  • Amplitude envelope for body and tail
  • Wide pitch range for aggressive drops
  • Smooth parameter transitions for clean automation

03 / FILTER

Sculpt the spectrum before and after saturation

The Filter FX section provides classic low-pass, high-pass and band-pass processing alongside a wider collection of modern filter characters. Frequency, resonance, drive and mix controls are smoothed for clean movement.

  • LP, HP and BP foundations
  • Multiple additional filter characters
  • Frequency, resonance, drive and mix
  • Filter shaping designed for kick material

04 / DISTORTION & EQ

Push the kick without losing control

Use a broad distortion palette to move from subtle saturation to aggressive clipping and folding, then correct the spectrum with a six-band EQ. The processing is built to add impact while preserving usable control.

  • Hard and soft clipping
  • Tube, FET, tape and diode-style modes
  • Wavefold and waveshaping options
  • 6-band EQ for detailed correction

05 / FX & PRESETS

Finish, save and recall complete kick designs

Integrated effects complete the signal path and the preset system turns finished sounds into reusable starting points. Move quickly from synthesis to production-ready kicks without leaving the plugin.

  • Integrated effects chain
  • Production-ready preset workflow
  • Compatible expansion libraries
  • AU / VST3 support across macOS and Windows
