BLEASS Sidekick is a versatile iOS plugin developed by BLEASS that combines a kick drum synth, a step sequencer, and a ducker to create exciting rhythmic dynamics within your music. With its unique features, this plugin offers a new way to enhance your tracks and add creative elements to your compositions.

The kick drum synth in BLEASS Sidekick utilizes an analogue-style engine inspired by vintage beatboxes, providing a wide range of classic analogue kick drum tones. You can trigger the synth using the built-in 16-step sequencer or an external MIDI input. Additionally, you can mix the kick drum sound with the audio passing through the plugin, use it to trigger the plugin's ducker stage, or both.

When used without the ducker, BLEASS Sidekick allows you to easily add your own kick parts to loops and other percussive elements. However, when the ducker is activated, the input signal reduces in volume whenever the kick synth is triggered. This feature is particularly useful for drum loops, as it allows you to replace the existing kick sound and pattern with your own crafted ones, adding a unique touch to your music.

One of BLEASS Sidekick's standout features is its ability to use the kick synth and sequencer solely as a trigger for the ducker. This enables you to create intricate and dynamic rhythms within any part or track, whether it's an individual instrument or an entire mix. The possibilities for experimentation and creativity are endless.

BLEASS Sidekick is AUv3 compatible, ensuring seamless integration with your iOS music production setup. It also offers Multi-Bus output within AUM and supports MIDI input for enhanced control and flexibility.
