The Him DSP Kick Ninja v1.2.0

The Him DSP Kick Ninja is a kick drum instrument for producers who want to design their own low-end foundation or rebuild the character of an existing kick. It suits hobby music makers who prefer shaping individual drum elements rather than relying entirely on finished samples.

Editable pitch, amplitude and distortion curves let you adjust how a kick hits, changes tone and fades out. To start from a reference, drag in a kick sample and use AI Import to generate matching pitch and amplitude curves. You can then refine those curves to fit your arrangement.

Note snapping helps tune the kick to your track, while MIDI pitch tracking lets incoming notes control its pitch. Three sample layers provide room for extra attack, noise or texture alongside the main sound. Phase locking keeps the waveform after a chosen pitch-envelope point consistent, and the time-skew display gives more detailed envelope visibility where precise edits matter.

Available for Windows in VST3 and AAX formats, Kick Ninja fits compatible setups such as FL Studio and Ableton Live.
