- DSI Tempest - I really like the kick that was made by professional sound designer (don't remember his name, but he had few tutorials on YT), to arrive at best kick I have heard on Tempest (I'm more into 909, rather trancey kick than 808) he had to utilise envelopes modulating envelopes for proper curve.
- Syntakt - it has the most usable kick possibilities that I heard, very easy to arrive at something satisfying, same goes for other sounds needed in compositions that I like.
- RYTM mk2 - this one I also like, but less than specially crafted kick on Tempest.
- Analog 4 mk2 - I left the best for the dessert, because stock preset 909-like kick, but then multimode filter changed to Peak and sweeped for extra juice is the best kick that I ever had, which made me hold on to A4 for longer, when otherwise it was destined to be sold.

Cordially,
