Discover the possibilities of FM synthesis with Rob Papen's Blue
Blue delivers FM synthesis, phase distortion synthesis, wave shaping synthesis, and subtractive synthesis in one creative combination! Blue has six oscillators which can be connected in various ways, two analog-style modeled stereo filters, an enormous range of processing and modulation options, sequencer, and an incredibly powerful arpeggiator, all brought together with the inspirational Rob Papen presets covering a wide range of musical styles. Blue features a unique and powerful arpeggiator, five new FX's, five hip-hop/R&B banks, three DnB Session banks (with Sola of Giana-Brotherz), and many more presets. Thanks to its user interface and innovative easy-edit page, Blue is easy-to-use and yields amazing results. This is going to be a favorite of synth-meisters.

Add low-end punch to your tracks with Rob Papen's SubBoomBass
Give your tracks low-end ammunition with Rob Papen's SubBoomBass synthesizer and sequencer. Loaded with presets designed by renowned synth wizard, Rob Papen, SubBoomBass gives you a ripe set of tools to construct fresh and classic bass lines. Also included are tuned drum samples, so you can give your tracks a bit of rhythmic flavor, for good measure. SubBoomBass also comes packed with two effects slots and tons of effects, easily modulated via MIDI. Whether you're crafting hip-hop, R&B, Dubstep, or finding your own groove style, you'll dig the cone-rattling low-end Rob Papen's SubBoomBass gives you.

Create fat synth leads with Rob Papen's Predator
Predator is a fat-sounding killer synthesizer that combines inspiring presets and first-class features to make this your go-to synth for contemporary music production. Predator is packed with powerful features such as preset morphing, intelligent preset variation, MIDI and synth controllable FX, unison detune, chord memory, and an extremely versatile arpeggiator. Predator also includes PredatorFX, allowing you to use the incredible filters, modulations, effects, and vocoder as an FX plug-in within your music host. We've seen the future of virtual synths, and it's Predator!

Explore additive synthesis with Rob Papen's Blade
Rob Papen's Blade additive synthesizer virtual instrument is what every die-hard synth nut has been waiting for - an additive synth that's fun and easy to use. Thanks to Blade's innovative Harmolator, you can create unique and exciting sounds in a matter of minutes, all by just tweaking a few simple controls. A highly programmable X-Y pad lets you manipulate 12 of Blade's parameters in real time, and you can even record and loop its pad motion. Top it off with filters, envelopes, modulation sources, plus a killer step sequencer, and there's really nothing quite like Rob Papen's Blade virtual instrument.

Rob Papen's RG instrument lets you lay down killer guitar grooves
Rob Papen's RG is a groove plug-in that offers far more functionality than simply being a virtual rhythm guitarist. The onboard sequencer lets you conjure classic rhythm guitar grooves, but Rob Papen adds some synthesizer features and effects to add a fresh approach to your created guitar grooves. Included in the synth section of RG is a classic analog modeled synthesizer filter, LFO, envelopes and modulation section, along with a comprehensive effects processor. Add realistic rhythm guitar tones to any track with Rob Papen's RG!

Set the perfect atmosphere with Rob Papen's extremely musical RP-Verb
Great recordings take hours of your time and effort to get just right. When it comes to adding the perfect touch of reverb, you need a reverb plug-in that's as musical and creative as the music you've recorded. Rob Papen's RP-Verb is a through-back style of reverb with some truly modern twists. It invokes an era of music production when engineers were less concerned with the realism of the reverbs they used and more focused on the musicality of their mixes. If that describes you, then RP-Verb may be just the golden bullet you're looking for.

Craft amazing multi-tap delays with Rob Papen's RP-Delay
Far from the usual one-trick-pony delay engine, RP-Delay is a whole different beast, loaded with enough gizmos to keep you busy for years. To start with, RP-Delay gives you six individual delay lines and eight multi-mode filters, all of which function differently in each delay mode. Four modulation sequencers, four LFOs, and four envelopes give you nearly limitless dynamic modulation paths. Plus, RP-Delay features an amazing "sound reverser," which can reverse the input and simultaneously reverse one of the delay lines. Together, all of these options let you easily pull off crazy delay effects that are perfect for modern pop, rock, and electronic music of all kinds. If you're looking for a fresh effect to add excitement to your music, then RP-Delay is one plug-in that is easily worth several times the price of admission.

Define your own distortion styles with Rob Papen's RP-Distort
Unlike most traditional distortion effects, Rob Papen's RP-Distort plug-in processor lets you totally define the sound of your distortion, giving you the right distortion style and tone for any occasion. Need to add a bit of grit to your vocals? No problem! How about adding harmonic fuzz to your synth bass? You got it! With Rob Papen's RP-Distort you can create anything from classic stompbox-style drive to insanely dissonant ring modulation and anything in between. Loaded with 22 distortion types plus a full set of tone-shaping tools, no kind of distortion is out of reach for Rob Papen's RP-Distort plug-in.

Rob Papen's Punch instantly upgrades any drum kit
Rob Papen's Punch stocks your percussion arsenal with speaker-shredding, bone-rattling drum kits. Well-known synth artist and sound designer Rob Papen has put together a unique software instrument, complete with built-in sequencers, that will handily distinguish itself from your other virtual drum instruments. Aimed squarely at contemporary producers, Punch gives you the ability to have multiple patterns at your fingertips (all triggerable for instant groove gratification onstage or in the studio). With its jaw-dropping audio quality, stunning features, and colossal synth power, Rob Papen's Punch will become your first-call session drummer.

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
