What RAW-Kick 2 does
The main screen combines up to three layers, each of which can be loaded with a dedicated kick synthesizer model or a sample-based layer, and a set of layer presets speeds up building a kick from those layers. The advanced panel exposes the deeper editing options, and the Kick Model and Sample-based Model sections have been expanded with multi-stage envelopes for pitch and volume.
