Low-end trigger plug-in

Energy with Depth

Add subtle sub-bass to give your mix the depth it’s missing, or unleash massive, MIDI-controlled 808s with wild glides. Add harmonics with Shape and Saturate to help your bass cut through even on small speakers. Your kick supplies the trigger; SubKick supplies the low end.

SubKick (VST3 / AU / AAX / CLAP) plug-in available for Windows and Mac.

Inside SubKick

Everything your low end needs.

From the first transient to the last cycle.

Bass Reduction

Make space for the sub. Reduce the original kick’s lows without changing what triggers SubKick.

30–250 Hz · 36 dB/oct high-pass at −∞

MIDI + Glide

Turn kick hits into melodic bass lines. Follow MIDI notes, overlap them for smooth slides, and release a note to stop the sub.

Glide 0–1000 ms · 10 ms note-off fade

Visual check

Compare the kick and generated sub in waveform or spectrum view. Drag the threshold right in the display.

Waveform + spectrum

Shape every tail

Go from short, tight kicks to sustained 808-style bass. New hits extend the tail without restarting the oscillator’s phase.

Sustain up to 3 s · release up to 5 s

Tune. Blend. Refine.

Pick a note, fine-tune in cents and add variation with Humanize. Balance the original and sub to taste.

Note tuning · polarity · independent levels

Shape + Saturate

Blend a little saw into the sine wave, then add warmth with Saturate. Bring out harmonics while keeping the sub’s foundation.

Sine to 20% saw · Saturate 0–100%
