Under the hood

Three engines. One kick.

Suckerpunch pairs a mathematically-perfect parametric synth with a machine-learning sample analyzer and a full studio tone stack — all in one panel.

Engine A
Parametric Synth Engine
  • Mathematical Pitch Sweeps
    Exponential drop from FStart (20 Hz – 12 kHz) to FEnd (20 – 200 Hz), with VSweep curve control for razor-sharp or gentle descents.
  • Harmonic Body That Translates
    Built-in H2 (26%) and H3 (11%) harmonics keep the low end audible on phone speakers, earbuds and laptops — no external saturation needed.
  • Amplitude & Transient Click
    Separate TEnd body hold and TDecay envelope curves, plus a 3 ms high-passed transient noise click that punches through dense mixes.
Engine B
AI & Machine Learning Analyzer
  • Offline Kick Replication
    Load any kick sample — the analyzer detects onset past 15% of peak and tracks pitch via upward zero-crossings, fully offline.
  • Simulated Annealing Fitting
    4 independent restarts × 220 iterations with a 0.985 temperature drop hill-climb candidate patches across a 20-band log spectrogram (30 Hz – 16 kHz).
  • Top Layer Extraction
    Auto-isolates crisp high-frequency click and rattle via a steep 4th-order high-pass at 2.2 kHz, layered phase-coherent under the synth.
Engine C
Tone, FX & Signal Flow
  • Six-Mode Distortion
    Inline saturation: Soft Clip (tanh), Hard Clip, Asymmetric Tube (bias 0.15), Foldback wavefolder, Bitcrush, and Rectify.
  • 0 dBFS Transparent Soft Clipper
    Perfectly linear up to t = 0.891, then a mathematical soft knee rounds the waveform to ±1.0 without harsh digital overs.
  • Dual-Path Studio EQ
    Two independent 3-band RBJ biquad EQs — one for the main body, one dedicated to the Top Kick layer. Shelf, 12 dB/oct Cut, or Peak per band.
