8.2.1 Kick – Sub
The Sub engine is the default engine of the Kick.
Based on the kick from a classic analog drum machine, the Sub kick is a clean, subby, sine-
based kick drum which can be very effectively abused as a sub bass, tom or even a bleepy lead
if tuned up and played chromatically on the keyboard.
The parameters described below are presented as they appear in the Control area (Ar-
range view). The same parameters are available in the Plug-in panel within the Plug-in
Strip (Mix view). See ↑12.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
