PunchBOX is a virtual instrument designed for creating high-quality 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.
  • TopsSample-based, produces e.g. hihats, percussion and noise.
  • ToolsSample-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, customly 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 vast factory content was delivered by industry-standard sound designers Sounds of Revolution and CFA-Sound; A collection of 1100 samples and 800 presets suitable for pretty much all contemporary sub-genres of electronic music. Additionally a user can import its own samples to expand already substantial sound source.
