Hey sqook
See Future Music have a review of your new VST. It got a reasonable review for a version 1 plugin... Versitility being is biggest downfall... But it was designed just to produce kick sound and it does that rather well...
I'm sure the next version will be even better!
Congrats dude....

I actually found - in demo mode at least - i couldnt get enough usable kicks out of it for my liking -I was pretty psyched when I saw it too, but when I finally tried it none of them gave me what I wanted

Me too!
A complex layout and great concept but I just couldn't find the cool sounds I wanted in there after a few hours of tweaking in the demo. There were also some unwanted distorted sounds at the attack of the notes that happened randomly while tweaking.

Hey guys,
Wow, that's funny... I told the guys at future music to wait until v1r3 was released before writing about KM, but I guess they did it anyways.
Do you have a link to the article by chance, or do they only publish in paper?
As per some of the feedback regarding the plugin itself, I am taking a short break from KM to concentrate on some other projects. The v2 wishlist currently includes some new effects, better preset organization, and the ability to create pitched percussion (among other things). When I originally designed KM, I wanted a tool that I could use to make kicks at a very precise frequency, so I designed it to ignore the incoming midi note frequencies and use its own values instead. However, a number of users felt that this was a bit non-intuitive, so the v2 release will have an additional switch to allow the plugin to behave either in absolute or pitched mode.
So, thanks for the feedback guys, and if you have any ideas or suggestions as to what could make this plugin better (particularly those of you who weren't satisfied with it
), please send them my way and I'll add them to my feature list.

Paper only as far as I know.
I'll scan the artical on Monday when I get back to the office and mail it to you.

There was also a short "heads up" about KM in the latest Computer Music.
