I'm using the Magical8Plug VST for this demonstration, but this technique should work with any other triangle wave generator.

So, let's get started

Step 1:

Select your triangle wave

Step 2:

Set your release as short as possible

Step 3:

Set up a negativ sweep.

Step 4:

Sweep time very short.

And there you have it! A very punchy kick using the triangle wave. Experiment a little with the parameters and you'll get some very cool sounding kicks out of the triangle .
