Click a genre multiple times for new kicksFactory FX chains for every genre
Not sure where to start with processing? Load a complete FX chain in one click. Every genre comes with its own factory chains, built to get your kick to an industry-standard level instantly.
Start from a factory chain, then make it yours, or build one completely from scratch. Every chain is fully editable: swap modules, tweak the presets and save it as your own.
Control every FX module
Add as many FX modules as you want, rearrange the order, and process your kick to an industry-standard level. Choose from 9 FX modules:
Comes with multiple distortion modes: Soft Clip, Hard Clip, Waveshaper & Asymmetric Waveshaper (draw your own shapes), Wavefolding, Rectify & more. Increase the drive and instantly see how the distortion shapes your kick waveform in real time.
Equalize your kick with bell curves, low & high shelves, low cuts, high cuts and notches. Change the Q, gain & frequency, or type in a specific key frequency anywhere between C0 and B9.
A split EQ for the mid and side, so you can easily process them separately. Commonly used to remove sub & bass frequencies from the side information.
Instantly shape the volume curve of your kick and improve its dynamics. Useful for shaping transients or adding an offbeat drive to your kicks.
Instantly shape your transient by adding attack and/or a curve. Change the speed to select which part of the transient is affected.
The final stage that instantly makes your kick 80% better: a bass boost low shelf, bass mono below a set frequency, and a clipper that shows you in real time which part of your kick waveform got clipped.
An upward and downward multiband compressor with depth and time knobs, crossover frequencies between the high, mid and bass bands, and gain control for each band.
Shape your kick with phaser, comb, notch, lowpass, highpass and band filters, including dB slope modes and polarity switches.
Add convolution on top of your kick, with an envelope synced to the beat for maximum control. Great for kick reverb or interesting room effects.
- Add as many FX modules as needed
- Easily rearrange the position of an FX module
- Save your FX chain presets
- Duplicate, save as default & more
- Lock FX chain, bypass & empty chain

Frequently asked questions
Plugin
Which plugin formats are included?
Windows: VST3 and a standalone app. Mac: AU, VST3 and a standalone app. It works in every major DAW, including FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase and Bitwig. Pro Tools is not supported, because it needs AAX.
Which styles are included?
Rumble, Reverse Bass, Industrial, Psy Techno, Schranz, Rumble Clean, Newstyle, Rawstyle and Zaag, plus Free Build to mix across all of them. More styles are coming. You can also import your own samples and libraries.
Can I use my own samples?
Yes. Drag & drop wav, aif, flac, ogg or mp3 onto any slot, or add your own sample libraries. The plugin links to your folders, so they take no extra disk space, and shows their subfolders up to four levels deep, so you can browse and randomize inside your own sounds, in every style.
Can I use the kicks in commercial releases?
Yes. Every kick you make is 100% royalty-free, so you can use them in commercial releases.
OPS Expansion
What is the OPS Expansion Pack?
The OPS Expansion Pack adds the On Point Samples kick library to your Teknovault Kick Builder: all OPS harder-style styles and kick parts. It seamlessly integrates into the plugin you already own.
You get it on On Point Samples.
Do I need to buy the OPS Kick Builder too?
No. The Expansion Pack installs into your Teknovault Kick Builder, so you don't buy the plugin twice.
Does the Expansion Pack include the plugin?
No. The Expansion Pack is the OPS kick library: all OPS styles and kick parts. It seamlessly integrates into your Teknovault Kick Builder (version 1.1.0 or newer), so you don't buy the plugin twice.
How do I install the OPS Expansion Pack?
1. Update your Teknovault Kick Builder. Log in to your Teknovault library with the email you ordered the Teknovault Kick Builder with, open Plugins and download version 1.1.0. The update is free. Run it.
2. Get the Expansion Pack and its key. Log in to your On Point Samples library with the email you ordered the Expansion Pack with, open Plugins, download the Expansion Pack and click Generate to get your expansion key.
3. Install it. In your Teknovault Kick Builder, click INSTALL EXPANSION on the OPS tab, pick the file you downloaded and paste your expansion key. The OPS kicks unlock right away.
Which license key goes where?
Every purchase has its own license key. You find it in Library → Plugins on the account you ordered it with:
Teknovault Kick Builder: the key from your Teknovault account unlocks the plugin.
OPS Expansion Pack: the key from your On Point Samples account unlocks the OPS kicks inside your Teknovault Kick Builder.
OPS Kick Builder (Full Plugin): the key from your On Point Samples account unlocks the OPS Kick Builder.
Why do I need two accounts?
Teknovault and On Point Samples are two separate stores, and each has its own account.
Your Teknovault Kick Builder, its updates and its key are in your Teknovault account. Your Expansion Pack and its expansion key are in your On Point Samples account. Log in to each one with the email you ordered with on that store.
Where do the OPS kicks show up in the plugin?
In the style list. The TKNVLT and OPS tabs at the top switch between the two libraries, and every OPS style opens with its own starting preset.
With both libraries in, Free Build can roll from both at once: switch on BOTH LIBRARIES.
Does the Expansion Pack get updates?
Plugin updates come through your Teknovault Kick Builder and are always free.
The Expansion Pack is the OPS kick library as it is now. New kick packs will come out over time as separate add-ons at a small price.
What's the difference with the OPS Kick Builder?
It's the same plugin with a different kick library: the OPS version comes with harder-style kick parts, the Teknovault version with techno kick parts.
Own one? You can add the other library as an expansion, so you never buy the plugin twice.
I own the OPS Kick Builder. Can I get the Teknovault kicks?
Yes. The Teknovault kicks are available as an expansion for the OPS Kick Builder, so you don't buy the plugin twice.
Install & license
What are the system requirements?
Mac: macOS 11 Big Sur and up, on Intel and Apple Silicon (AU, VST3 and standalone). Windows: Windows 10 and up, 64-bit (VST3 and standalone). It runs inside all major DAWs or as a standalone app.

In your library: log in with the email you ordered with, open Plugins and click Generate.
Got the OPS Expansion Pack? Its key is on your On Point Samples account. See "Which license key goes where?".
My license key isn't there. What now?
Almost always, you're logged in with a different email than the one you ordered with. Every email is its own account, and your key is only on the account you ordered with. Log out of your library and log in again with that email.
Just ordered? Your key can take a minute to show up. Give it a moment and refresh.
Got the Expansion Pack? Its key is on your On Point Samples account, not on your Teknovault account. See "Which license key goes where?".
Still nothing? Get in touch with your order number and we'll sort it out.
How do I activate the plugin?

Can I download it again later?
