About this sample

This 1.4-second mono kick pairs a sine-wave body with a fast downward pitch sweep from about 205 Hz toward 46 Hz, giving it a sharp attack and lingering sub tail. A short sine knock sweeps from 190 to 85 Hz, is saturated, and is low-passed at 2.8 kHz; a brief noise layer, band-passed from 450 to 6,500 Hz, adds a gritty click. The layers are mixed with the body dominant, then saturated together, high-passed at 25 Hz, and faded out over 35 ms.

Use it in midtempo industrial, techno, or heavy electronic rhythms where a weighty, dark kick can anchor the groove. It can work alone or under a tighter kick for extra sub weight; watch the long low tail against bass notes, and trim or sidechain the lows if they compete.
