Sine Wave Generator?

He everyone? I am watching this 31 days to a better mix series on The Recording Revolution and I saw this particular video where he uses a sine wave to help add bottom end on to a kick drum. He uses Pro Tools in the demo and he has a plugin that generates a sine wave at any desired frequency.

Is there a plugin like this inside of Sonar X1? Or even a VST plug in that I can download? I am interested in experimenting with this technique and wanted get my hands on the sine wave generator!

Here is the video: Adding Bottom End on A Kick

    there is many ways to do the same thing

    LOADS of things will generate a sine wave.. any number of synths, you can use the tts1 even more than probable.  (under synth lead / synth bass , should work) .. or groove synth.

    http://www.niallmoody.com/ndcplugs/sinesynth.htm

    not tried it,

    BUT the trick is to see where the hit / peak point is with the kick drum.. you can use a Frequency display plugin to show where that point is in Hz.. from that the freq. relates to a music note.. and that's the note where they sit together.

    http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html

    but you need to cut the frequencies of each sound, so they don't clash. the keying thing is the opposite of ducking. but with adding bass, less is more you should find.

    personally I'd not do it "at the time" by using keying. I'd have a pre-prep'd sample.. as it just makes life easier, doing such things on days when your  not creative helps speed up things on days that you are.  Or you can buy packs of single  hits that have all the work done for you.

    in that video it has a gate? that also helps.. it's all about punch really. you tried px-64 also ?

    it does depend on the music you make.. as obv. some things don't use as much low end or things may / can clash (e.g. things with lots of sub)

    there is an 808 kit in the groove synth (kick drum) you could use with px64 even as a quick one..
