Critic Reviews

Plugin Boutique BigKick review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Plugin Boutique's BigKick impressively delivers focused yet flexible kick drum synthesis. It offers a rich sample library and powerful synthesis capabilities, making it a strong contender for electronic music producers. However, the dark GUI and thin font might hinder usability. Overall, BigKick is a solid debut for Plugin Boutique, blending great sound with versatile features.

Plugin Boutique - BigKick - MusicTech

musictech.com

Plugin Boutique's BigKick is a powerful, focused tool for electronic music producers who want precise control over their kick drum sounds. It offers an intuitive interface, blending samples with synthesis for deep customization. The drag-and-drop feature simplifies workflow, and its ability to tune kicks adds another layer of creative potential. While its sole focus on kicks might seem limiting, it excels in its niche, making it a valuable asset for those who prioritize a strong kick in their tracks. However, it may not be necessary for producers who require a broader range of drum sounds.

Not a fan

Very limited and what's bundled isn't great. Really don't like the way they handle presets, and I hate the GUI. It seemed like a good idea when I bought it, but then I bought Rob Papens Punch BD, and big kick will never be used again.
