Audija has announced a public beta of an updated version of its virtual instrument with precision bassdrum synthesis. Version 2.5 of KickDrum comes with new features, improvements and fixes.
There are some big improvements this version offers and we think it’s the right timing, as we are also about to release the preset section in the next days and how wonderful it is that there’s a whole new palette of possibilities available that can help to lift the presets variety and quality.
Changes in KickDrum 2.5 (Beta 1)
- New: Sound engine is now in stereo.
- New: OSC now has a wavetable editing suite.
- New: New spectral Pitch device.

- Improvement: Dragging a device to the device chain edge when other devices are still out of sight now starts autoscroll.
