Synthe Kicks by Cluster Sound
The Low-End Arsenal
Every electronic track begins with the kick. It anchors the rhythm, drives the groove, defines the energy. But finding that perfect kick—the one with just the right punch, weight, and character—can consume hours of scrolling through generic sample libraries.
Synthe Kicks eliminates the search. This is a curated collection of 464 speaker-smashing kick and bass drums, each one meticulously designed using various synthesizers. From pristine analog warmth to cutting-edge DSP precision, from booming 808-style bass kicks to experimental pseudo kicks, this pack delivers the low-end foundation your tracks deserve.
Seven Distinct Categories
96 Analog Kicks capture the warmth and punch of classic analog synthesis. These are the kicks that defined techno, house, and electro—fat, round, and full of harmonic richness. Perfect for tracks that need organic analog character.
48 Bass Kicks go deep into sub-frequency territory. These aren’t just kicks—they’re foundation-shaking low-end weapons designed to rattle club systems and headphones alike. Ideal for bass-heavy genres where sub presence is everything.
80 Code Kicks showcase the power of DSP-coded synthesis. Mathematically precise, digitally crafted, these kicks deliver modern electronic punch with razor-sharp attack and controlled decay. Perfect for contemporary production that demands pristine clarity.
64 FM Kicks harness frequency modulation to create metallic, bell-like, and harmonically complex low-end tones. From classic DX-style bass drums to experimental FM textures, these kicks cut through dense mixes with distinctive character.
48 Partial Kicks focus on specific frequency ranges and timbral elements, offering specialized kicks for layering or surgical mix placement. These are the kicks you reach for when building hybrid sounds or filling specific sonic gaps.
32 Pseudo Kicks push into experimental territory—unconventional synthesis approaches that deliver kicks with unique timbral signatures. Perfect for producers looking to stand out with distinctive low-end character.
96 Synth Kicks provide a diverse collection of synthesized bass drums spanning multiple synthesis techniques. This category offers maximum versatility, with kicks suitable for virtually any electronic genre.
Instant Control, Maximum Flexibility
Every kick in this pack comes as a dedicated Drum Device with macro controls, giving you immediate sound-shaping power. Adjust attack, tune the pitch, control the decay, add saturation—all without leaving Ableton’s interface. These aren’t static samples; they’re playable instruments.
The pack includes 11 sample-selector devices—one for each drum category—allowing rapid auditioning and switching between kicks without loading individual devices. Preview sounds before loading, keep your workflow fast, stay in the creative zone.
Direct installation into Ableton’s Packs section keeps everything organized. Device preview playback lets you hear sounds before committing. The entire library is designed for speed: find the right kick, load it, customize it, and get back to making music.
Two Powerful Formats
For Ableton Live Users: 464 individual Drum Devices with macro controls, 11 sample-selector devices for fast browsing, device preview playback, and direct Packs installation. Everything optimized for Live’s workflow.
For Kontakt Users: The Droom synthesizer engine provides a unified interface for accessing and manipulating all 464 kicks, with synthesis-style controls for deep sound design.
Perfect For Every Genre
Techno producers will find relentless four-on-the-floor power. House creators will discover groove-driving bass drums. Bass music artists will access sub-rattling bombs.

Important Information
Initial Release – March 2025
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
