Hey Shinobi - have you got any examples of the kind of kick you’re after? I’m headed home from the busy tonight and have a hankering to break out the AR. I’ll record some things into a demo for you.
In general, AR kick synth can the thunderous but can be tamed using a liberal sprinkling of the LFO. I often wish we had EQ per pad for the AR, but that’s about my only gripe these days.
There’s a few of us who have AR only tracks posted here if you have a search. I’ll post some links when I have a moment.
