"Kick it!" Feature Not Working ?

[lunker]

Is anybody else having problems with the "Kick it!" feature (clicking on the serial number tag)?

I remember it worked when this plugin was first released (really cool!).  I just went to use it, and the plugin only makes a single audible click when I click on the serial number tag (or use the "Kick it!" automation parameter).  I have this problem with both the VST and the VST3 version.

I have the kick volume set to 0 dB, so that isn't the problem.

I have the same problem, v1.4.0.4061 in Logic 10.7.4

Thank you for confirming!

I submitted support ticket #798850 for this.

Arturia has been able to reproduce the problem.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Just confirming, I have the same issue on my machine. Running version 1.4.0.4061 with macOS Catalina 10.15.7 = reverb part works, kick sound is dry.

Urs Heckmann's Twangström spring reverb has an automation-capable "twang" parameter to simulate hitting or kicking an amp. Seems like that would render more realistic results than a kick audio impulse, anyway — since you need to model the physical movement of the springs, not just a loud audio input. I wonder why Arturia didn't just do that.

(the same way I wonder why they got rid of the CS-80 multi mode instead of going the Cherry Audio route with a CS-80 / GX-1 fusion … and why you can't have a user instrument in Mellotron V with 35 custom samples, which makes a hell of a lot more sense than 8 … and why Synthi V has no external audio input … and why …)

Still not working here. Also on Logic, Version 10.7.5, Rev PLATE-140 version of 1.5.0.4061
