Me too, was in the middle of a bite of lunch and had to concentrate to keep from inhaling any of it.

On a more serious note, I actually whipped up something that employs pretty much every technique discussed in this thread. Each of them fades in and out a bit over time. It’s just a loop demo, but maybe it could be of some use. I can’t record it right now because my MBP is moving 13,000 files around at the moment, so I’ll do it tomorrow.
(finished my arcade stick build today, and moving my ROM archives to an appropriate device to play them on.

So, this is just a loop, but wanted the kicks to have some context. This includes pretty much every technique mentioned in this thread, at various levels throughout the clip. Just sweeping settings with the knobs. Layering, a little KS short delay, high passing, adding resonance, carving out some space on other tracks, etc. Doesn’t sound great when increasing the decay too far, because in order to get the lows right, I’m overdriving a bit. So it gets a bit muddy at certain decay settings. Might be good for other genres if mixed in properly. I’m sweeping the settings way out to where they don’t sound good, just to illustrate how they contribute to the kick when at the right settings.

A little bit off topic but isn’t it great that on the Syntakt sound patches are just 5xx bytes and projects between 5 and 50 kilobytes or so.
Which means you could store 20.000 projects or 2.000.000 sounds on the 1GB +Drive.
These file sizes in 2023. I just love it

One more with a different main kick engine. Same types of things as above.
