    I'll just be completely honest and say I know nothing about psytrance so have no recommendations, but would love to be included in the raffle!

    I think Machine is you best chance... I saw a serie of video where people used Machine and did a great job. It's worth the money and a high-end piece of gear.

    I agree with Uwe303. TRK-1 has a great bass engine for what you're trying to to do.

    Plenty of good advice on here but to sum up the kick:

    1. **Choose a punchy kick sample** as your base.

    2. **Layer** with other kicks or percussive sounds for depth.

    3. **Tune** all layers to match.

    4. **Process** with compression, EQ, and saturation.

    5. **Shape the envelope** for attack and decay.

    6. **Add effects** like reverb or transient shaping.

    As OP prefers to work in the box and not on the computer, I would also say to try the internal drum and bass synths from Maschine, add whatever stock plug-in to achieve your goals, maybe sample it, add a layer, resample, destroy, keep moving.

    TRK-01 is very capable too as many people advised already :)

    I'm also not a big fan of sculpting the sound myself, I do it just to a little extent. I indeed had nice results layering 2 or 3 kick sounds.

    There is a full drum synth suite built into Maschine, which are quite good, but it would be nice if, like you said, release those as a separate plugin. A decent amount of NI expansions come with drum synth presets.

    I haven't heard any psytrance for years. I used to love it as a kid though. Maybe try NI's utopia, I understand it's trance mainly but it might get you close...

    Machine could be a good segway-tool here

    TRK 01 is good.

    By the way, a scalable UI would be a nice update. It is too small.

    you (OP) said " I realize I could sculpt sound on my computer on massive, but I dont enjoy working on the computer. "

    You are not alone. I'm also a Maschine Plus user. but these days, I usually work ITB. and I eagerly wait for a major firmware and feature update for Maschine Plus, which I used to consider as the instrument of my life.
