MIA Laboratories has announced the release of a new 3-voice kick-drum synthesizer designed for producers who demand fast, professional results in electronic or acoustic productions.
Delivering perfectly tuned low end, clear transient definition and smooth layering, Kick 101 aims to help users create the perfect kick in seconds.
Each voice features 5 sound engines -sine, triangle, pulse, saw, and noise- optimized for minimal aliasing. An External Input channel allows processing of any external material directly through Kick 101’s signal path, for accurate hybrid layering. Shape your kick with dedicated Amp and Pitch Envelopes, independent Tone and Phase controls, plus a 4-filter EQ per voice. Enjoy detailed transient control, musical curve shaping, and precise tuning with intuitive control.
Bring your Kick through the finish line with a powerful Saturator, delivering from subtle warmth to bold, aggressive distortion, a transparent and precise Compressor, and a 3-band semi-Parametric Filter specifically engineered for Kick Drum processing. A Master chain to polish, fatten, or demolish your Kick, with endless sound-design possibilities.
Kick 101 for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for the intro price of €29 EUR at the MIA Laboratories store until March 2nd, 2026 (regular €129 EUR).
The plugin is also on sale for $29 USD from AudioDeluxe, and customers can use coupon code WINTER10 at the checkout to get an additional 10% discount on a purchase until February 12th, 2026.
