D16 Group

D16 Group has released PunchBOX, a "Bass Drum Synthesizer" unit.

PunchBOX is a virtual instrument designed for creating kick drum sounds. The heart of the plug-in is comprised of four sound generators, each of them standing for a key component of the final kick sound:

  • Click - Sample-based, produces Kick accent.
  • Tops - Sample-based, produces e.g. hihats, percussion and noise.
  • Tools - Sample-based, produces almost full Kicks without sub.
  • Kick - Sample-based or Synth-based, produces the Kick's body. The generator working as synthesizer offers four Bass Drum generating algorithms to select from; D16 emulations of classic drum machines; 606, 808, 909 and one additional, custom designed, Sine-based percussive synthesis.

Further sound processing enables built-in FX rack equipped with 5 different algorithms working in series. The effects are re-orderable via simple drag'n'drop action and whole fx chain is fed by generators independently (with different amount set per generator).

Included factory content was delivered by sound designers Sounds of Revolution and CFA-Sound; A collection of 1100 samples and 800 presets suitable for contemporary sub-genres of electronic music. Each of the on-board samples were crafted with professional experience and using top-shelf studio equipment (instruments and effect units).
