Steady State Fate Entity Ultra-Kick

Dual-resonator analog kick drum with compressor and ducking

14 HP Eurorack module

Entity Ultra-Kick is a fully analog kick drum synthesizer with a built-in compressor and sidechain ducking output in 14HP. It uses a dual-resonator core design — the main Frequency resonator generates the fundamental, while the Character resonator shapes the impulse transient and adds unison or low-pass filtering effects. A dedicated pitch modulation envelope (Depth + Pitch Decay) creates classic 808/909-style pitch sweeps. The built-in compressor section features parallel "New York" compression with a Bass Drive sidechain filter, Gain-Dist output stage, and a limiter. Envelope and Duck outputs enable self-patching and sidechain ducking of external signals.
