Description

BLEASS Sidekick is a combination of a kick drum synth, a step sequencer, and a ducker (aka a sidechain compressor). 
AUv3 with Multi-Bus Output & Midi Input.

BLEASS Sidekick is a combination of a kick drum synth, a step sequencer, and a ducker (aka a sidechain compressor). The result is a plugin that provides a unique way to create exciting rhythmic dynamics within your music.

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.

This plugin is AUv3 compatible and offers Multi-Bus output (within AUM) as well as Midi Input.

Needs midi input update

The ducker doesn’t seem to work when routed via MIDI. Tried it every way kick works no duck.

-I got it to work you have to have 2 instances of Sidekick running on top of each other. Could be a NanoStudio 2 issue, it’s really the only auv3 if it’s kind so I don’t know. Open up 2 instances and one of them works fine. Remove one and you just get the kick. Also works great as a ducker when used on other tracks. It really sounds great, just need 2 instances for kick in NanoStudio 2 when using MIDI that is all.

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for taking the time to edit your review! Also, thank you for sharing your practice on Nanostudio! indeed you can launch as many instances of the sidekick as you want (all the more that it is quite CPU efficient), and using two or more instances to use either the kick or the sidechain compression is a very nice to go indeed!
Have fun with the sidekick and don't hesitate to check our other apps!
