Forge Your Signature Kick Drum:
PunchBOX isn't just another kick drum VST; it's a weapon of sonic destruction. Craft floor-shaking kicks, tight punchy thumps, or anything in between with this powerhouse virtual instrument.
The Marriage of Sample and Synthesis:
PunchBOX offers the best of both worlds: expressive, cutting-edge synthesized sounds combined with the warmth and depth of meticulously crafted samples. This unique blend yields unprecedented kick drum possibilities, guaranteed to make your tracks stand out.
Samples Fit for Royalty:
Each included sample is a sonic masterpiece, meticulously sculpted by industry veterans Sounds of Revolution and CFA-Sound. They used only the finest instruments, processed through top-shelf vintage analog gear to capture the essence of legendary sounds. Additionally, the kick drum synthesizers, inspired by our acclaimed Roland drum machine emulations, have been meticulously fine-tuned for the specific demands of crafting the perfect kick drum.
Four Pillars of Power:
At the heart of PunchBOX lie four distinct sound generators, each a fundamental building block for your ultimate kick sound. Intuitive factory presets provide a perfect starting point, allowing you to quickly sculpt your signature kick with ease.
A Preset Playground Awaits:
Dive into a vast library of over 1100 meticulously crafted samples and 800 genre-spanning presets, courtesy of the renowned sound designers Sounds of Revolution and CFA-Sound.

The intuitive D16 tagging system ensures effortless browsing, making it a breeze to find the perfect kick for your track.
Effortless FX Rack:

Drag and drop modules to reorder your signal chain, fine-tune the wet/dry mix with ease, and send individual sound generators to specific effects for ultimate control. Need to instantly render your final kick sound as a standalone audio file? PunchBOX has you covered – with a simple drag and drop.
