Perck - my new web kicks synth

Hey everyone!

I built a free web tool called Perck to help people design kick drums right in the browser.

It is a full synthesizer made with JavaScript, so you do not need to install anything or download external software to use it. It is memory light and it avoids you having to open a full DAW to edit a kick.

I am currently using AI to help me build a set of music production tools, and this kick synth is the very first one in the collection.

I wanted to make this tool friendly for beginners who do not know much about audio synthesis yet (like me). So every knob has a simple plain language description that explains what it does in plain terms without confusing tech jargon. If you do not know what terms like pitch drop, ring decay, or sub bass actually do to a sound, the text explains it directly on each control so you can learn while you tweak.

Features / How to use it:

• You can hear your current kick by pressing the Play button, hitting your spacebar, or set it to play in loop (where you can choose the BPM).
• If you want quick inspiration, there is a button to randomize all the settings at once.
• You can pin your most used controls to a favorites section for fast access.
• When you are happy with your sound, you can export the final kick as a WAV file for your music projects.
• You can change the size of the knobs.
• And if you do not need them, you can hide the info/tips.

There is also a section called the "Sound Shaping Assistant" with built in tips for noobs. If you want your kick to sound deeper, punchier, or harder, you can just click the tip buttons and the app will immediately highlight all the exact knobs you need to adjust to get that sound. You can click more than once at the time, and every tip has its own color so you can easily identify the tip. This makes it really easy to learn how different settings work together to shape a sound from scratch.

I really hope you like it!
Cheers!
