D16 PunchBox 2
Kick Drum Virtual Instrument
Hybrid Kick Design Engine
Legendary kick emulations, sampling, and wavetable power - fused into one modern sound-design engine.
PunchBox 2 is the next evolution of PunchBox, packed with powerful new features, improved performance, and an even better experience-crafted in collaboration with D16 Group, Sounds of Revolution, and CFA-Sound.
At its core, four independent sound generators combine layered samples with advanced synthesis models, giving you total control over every transient, tone, and tail.
From classic analog-inspired engines to modern wavetable shaping, everything flows through a flexible effects rack and intelligent routing system so you can sculpt kicks that hit harder, cut cleaner, and sit perfectly in the mix.
This is where raw impact meets deep sound design.
