Tap HIT for a kick with its rumble tail. LOOP plays the full sequencer continuously. Desktop: Space = HIT.

02 / Kick core

DRY

The punch is the dry transient; the same kick drives the rumble's reverb system. Try a shorter kick for a tighter rolling bass.

03 / Space + movement

WET

Longer reflections and rhythmic echoes generate the low-frequency motion. Pre-delay separates the rumble from the initial kick.

04 / Filter + saturation

TONE

The lowpass darkens the reverb into a bass bed. Distortion adds upper harmonics so the rumble translates beyond a subwoofer.

05 / Pump + mix

SIDECHAIN

Each active kick ducks the rumble, then releases it back between beats. This controlled surge is the defining techno rumble effect.

06 / Pattern sequencer

Tap: off → hit → accent → off

BPM

Four beats, sixteen steps; amber steps are accented. The rumble is sidechained to the actual kick pattern.

07 / Export audio

SAMPLE RATE

BIT DEPTH

Loop and rumble stems export as stereo, dry kick as mono. Each stem aligns at the start of the bar for mixing on Akai Force, Ableton or AUM.

Signal flow

DRY KICK → SATURATED SEND → RHYTHMIC ECHO + DIFFUSED REVERB → LOWPASS / HIPASS → SATURATION → SIDECHAIN DUCKING → RUMBLE BUS.

The dry kick and rumble are mixed in parallel. Pull down dry and increase wet to build a submerged, hypnotic groove; increase pumping for powerful warehouse techno.

Start with Warehouse 135 or Berlin Concrete. They are designed as sensible starting points, not sampled recordings.
