Create Exciting Rhythmic Dynamics

US BLEASS Sidekick is a combination of a kick drum synth, a step sequencer, and a ducker      14/09/22

BLEASS tells us that Sidekick is a combination of a kick drum synth, a step sequencer, and a ducker (aka a sidechain compressor). They say that the result is a plugin that provides a unique way to create exciting rhythmic dynamics within your music. It is available for Desktop (VST3 / AU / AAX) and iOS (AUv3). Here's a description in the company's own words...

The kick drum synth uses an analogue-style engine inspired by vintage beatboxes, which allows it to create a wide range of classic analogue kick drum tones with ease. This synth can be triggered by the built-in 16-step sequencer or by an external MIDI input; its sound can be mixed with the audio passing through the plugin, be used to trigger the plugin's ducker stage, or both.

Used without the ducker, BLEASS Sidechain makes it easy to add your own kick parts to loops and other percussive parts.

Bringing in the ducker causes the input signal to reduce in volume whenever the kick synth is triggered. When used on a drum loop this lets you impose your own creativity on the underlying feel and beat of the loop, ducking-out the loop's kick sound and pattern so that you can replace them with a sound and pattern that you have crafted.

Perhaps BLEASS Sidekick's best trick, though, is to use the kick synth and sequencer purely as a trigger for the ducker. This lets you create fascinating and detailed dynamic rhythms within any part or track, whether individual instrument or an entire mix.
