AI Import

Drag and drop any kick drum sample, and let Kick Ninja’s AI algorithm recreate the pitch and amp curves to match your favorite sounds.

Pitch Snapping and Tracking

Snap to notes to tune your kicks to your track. Enable pitch tracking to control the pitch via MIDI.

Sample Layers

Three separate sample layers allow you to add custom attack, noise, texture, or any sample to enhance your sound.
