About this plugin
Your kick. Built from the ground up.
DEVASTATOR 969 is a dedicated kick synthesizer built for the harder styles. Shape everything from the first transient to the final tail — from tight 909-style punch to deep, heavily distorted impact.
Build your sound inside one plugin, without relying on stacks of samples or complex effect chains. Start with six expressive macros, then dive into the synthesis and processing controls to make every kick your own.
Find your sound faster
- Shape it in seconds. Punch, Body, Boom, Dirt, Tail and Bounce put the essential controls at your fingertips.
