The BigKick Expansion V8 Black Friday deal covers Techno Kicks V2, a 64-preset kick pack from Berlin techno producer Florian Meindl, at $5 with 66% off until Nov 29, 2026.
It is the eighth expansion for the BigKick drum generator, sold by Plugin Boutique. You load the presets through the BigKick Preset Manager.
Techno Kicks V2 is a collection of kick drums made by Florian Meindl, built to drop into any kind of electronic music.
The pack is an expansion preset library, not a standalone plugin. It adds sounds to BigKick and does nothing without it.
Meindl says he built the 64 kicks from a mix of sources:
His own description of the result: rough analogue techno kicks suited to club-ready tracks of the kind played in Berghain and other top clubs.
The features list is short and specific:
That is 64 presets in total. Each one loads straight into the BigKick engine, so you can audition and swap kicks without leaving the plugin.
Meindl is a DJ, live performer, studio producer and sound designer based in Berlin. He is resident at the Riverside Studios complex there.
He runs the techno label FLASH Recordings and Riemann Modular, his studio gear company that specialises in Eurorack modules. He also runs the loops and samples label Riemann Kollektion.
His remixes have appeared on Octopus, FLASH, Phobiq and Boxer. He has been featured in production magazines such as FutureMusic.
His latest LP, Collide, came out on FLASH Recordings. It pairs minor chords with rough organic analogue drums, and includes a collaboration with Jamie Anderson. That is the same drum character he aimed for in this kick pack.
The full version of BigKick is required. Plugin Boutique states that its BigKick Drum Generator must be installed to run this expansion.
If you already use BigKick, the pack is an add-on for the plugin you have.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 66% off Techno Kicks V2, bringing the 64-preset pack to $5. The offer runs until Nov 29, 2026. It is an expansion for BigKick, so you need the full BigKick plugin to use it.
The pack holds 64 crafted kick drum presets, which include 32 attack hits and 32 attack presets. Florian Meindl made them, and you load them through the BigKick Preset Manager.
Meindl says he combined his analogue modular system, a real 909, a real 808 and a warm, rough Mackie old-school mixer. His aim was rough analogue techno kicks for modern club tracks.
Yes. The full version of BigKick is required, because the pack only adds presets to Plugin Boutique's BigKick Drum Generator. It does not run on its own.
