About Keith:

• Keith the Kick is one of 'The Lads', a gang of Virtual Analogue Sequenced Percussion devices trying to muscle in on your music productions

• Keith is a Virtual Analogue kick drum with attitude

• Keith offers a lot of control over the tone and shape of his sound

• Keith is armed with a serious, grown up, sequencer - for maximum impact

About the circuit:

• Like the TR-909, Keith's circuit is based around a waveshaped triangle waveform
• Keith has noise and a click added to intensify the attack portion of the sound
• No samples were used in the creation of any of 'The Lads'
• Keith is NOT a TR-909 emulation but does share similar sound characteristics

Kick Body - This is the fundamental tone of the kick

1. Freq - Pitch - from a window-rattling 35Hz to super fast 75Hz

2. Curve - Decay characteristic - from a tight exponential curve to an overblown logarithmic curve

3. Decay - From a deep 'Click' to just about long enough

Kick Peak - This creates a thump, or a knock, at the start of the kick

1. Freq - Starting pitch of the kick, before it swoops down upon the floor

2. Time - The time taken for the pitch to swoop down - 1ms - 50ms

3. Slope - An exponential curve applied to the pitch sweep = softer/harder - kind of :/ 

Housekeeping stuff

1. The K-Teck logo

2. Device title and version number

3. Preset display - for storing and recalling your presets

Global tone controls

1. HiPass - A High Pass filter to remove too much sub or get a nasty click/knock

2. LoPass - A lowpass filter designed by Surreal Machines to remove excess top end and subbify

3. Gain - Output volume - also drives into that Surreal Machines Low Pass filter for extra oomph
