Kick Synthesizer & Snares

I'm looking to generate my own kicks (and maybe snares) from synths. Anyone own any good free kick synths? I'll post a few I know, but have to be purchased.

Also, if there are any synths that can generate a snare, that'd be beneficial as well.

why the fuck does it not say how much it costs when you try and buy it that makes me so mad

you can synthesize drum sounds in FM8, but as far as free goes? You can synthesize drum sounds inside of ultrabeat which is logic's native drum machine using the envelopes and stuff, although it's a bit complicated to do

I literally made this thread like a week back.

I currently use BazzISM for kicks.

Drumatic is free and I use it for claps/snares sometimes.

There were some others posted in my thread.

I use Logic's ES2 for almost all of my kicks! Not even using any of its more advanced features, so it should be possible in almost any run-of-the-mill soft synth to get a fairly decent kick drum, although you may need to use 2 or 3 instances of the synth layered up

I pretty much only use Massive for making drums but I've gotten some nice ones out of FM8. Absynth's envelopes allow you most control over shit which is super useful if you're making a drum machine kick like 808 or 909

I played about with the fruity kick (think that's what it's called yeah?) today, pretty decent plugin that I've never tried. Very limited in a sense tho, but good for tuned low end stuff. Didn't really fancy the transient it makes tho
