With the arrow keys on the gui you can slide the preset in small increments so you can lock it tightly to your groove. Just pick some of the presets and a measure you want and away you go. The whole point to this plugin is quickly and easy setting up the so called sidechain effect. The other options are retrigger and one shot if you are gonna use Kickstart as a midi plugin. There you can select if the plugin is synced to your DAWs tempo. Filling the right side of the GUI is the volumeshaper with a measure box going from 1/8 till 1/1 and underneath that are the different curves that are made as presets by Nicky Romero.ДЄlso there is a star button that takes you to the back of the plugin. On the left side thereвЂ™s the Nicky Romero brand logo and a mixknob, more on that later. When you first open the plugin you see a clearly layed out GUI thats easy to understand. The key to this whole proces is called volume ducking, through different volumeshapes you get different swings in the sidechain effect. Kickstart by Nicky Romero & The Cableguys is a plugin that can emulate the sidechain effect that is so populair in dance music styles for years now. Earlier this year Nicky released his first plugin called Kickstart.

Last week we reviewed the KICK Synth plugin by Nicky Romero and Sonic Academy.
