Kick Detonator

Detonate

Drag a kick in, fire the blast. Detonate arms any kick sample and shapes the explosion: size and distance set the character of the blast; pitch, attack, sustain, drive and boom fine-tune it; a ceiling keeps the output loud but safe.

Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen for any app it hasn't seen before, including ours. It's safe - clear it in two clicks:

  1. Click More info on the blue screen.
  2. Click Run anyway, then follow the installer.

What it does

Drag a kick in.
Fire the blast.

Detonate is a kick instrument built around one gesture: load a sample, arm it, fire. The hit is shaped like a detonation - how big, how hot, how far away - with a ceiling so the low end stays loud without clipping.

Size · Distance

How big the explosion is and how far you stand from it - from a tight click to a room-shaking boom.

Fine-tune the hit

Pitch, attack, sustain, drive and boom sculpt the sample around your mix, with the signal and gain curve drawn live on screen.

Ceiling

A built-in ceiling limiter keeps the blast in check - print it loud, keep it clean.
