Kickpad is an experimental kick drum audio sample generator.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Can be used for sound design of kick drum sounds, for trying different waveforms and selecting different parameters.
- Can be used for loading an existing .wav audio sample and then evolve the settings so that they generate a kick drum sound that is as close as possible to the given .wav, using GA (genetic algorithms).
- Can be used for setting up 16 different kick drum sound, which can then be played by clicking the pad buttons.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux and macOS.
