Bassdrum synthesizer with 1100 samples and 800 presets
The PunchBox Plugin of the D16 Group is a virtual bass drum synthesizer with a library of over 800 presets and 1100 sample sounds. Thanks to its huge and select library of the best presets and sounds, all of which have been approved by the industry pioneers Sounds of Revolution and CFA Sound, music producers and musicians of all genres can create and use their optimum bass drum sound in the shortest possible time - from crisp, authentic to booming, synthetic basses or deliberately low-resolution, noisy beats.
Sampling and Synth Sound Hand in Hand
The PunchBox plugin is the best of both worlds: expressive synthesizer sounds combined with the complexity and abundance of real sample sounds lead you effortlessly and quickly to first-class and revolutionary beats that set you apart from the crowd. Each included sample is its own little masterpiece, sent with professional experience and the very best instruments through the highest quality Vintagestudio devices. The kicksound synthesizers, derived from D16's highly acclaimed emulations of the classic drum Roland machine, have been taken to the next level and adapted to fit perfectly with the PunchBox plug-in.
At the heart of the PunchBox are four sound generators, each of which is a core component of your final kick sound. The factory settings were created as a starting point for you to continue on your own in an intuitive and inspiring way.
Massive work setting library of the highest quality
The industry icons Sounds of Revolution and CFA-Sound have prepared for you an arsenal of 100 samples and 800 presets covering virtually every contemporary subgenre of electronic music. So you can easily keep up with the changes in current production trends or set your own trends while still maintaining the highest quality standards. With the well known D16 tagging system you can easily select your desired sound from the list.
Intuitive, Drag & Drop GUI
You will immediately see how easy it is to use the PunchBox interface to activate, deactivate and adjust the components of your desired sound. Keep your creative juices flowing with just a few mouse clicks and button turns. The modules that can be reorganized via Drag & Drop also help you to do this.
