Add More Punch to Your Tracks

Rob Papen Punch-2 fortifies your percussion arsenal with speaker-shredding, bone-rattling drum kits. With Punch — a big hit at Sweetwater — well-known synth artist and sound designer Rob Papen designed a unique software instrument, complete with built-in sequencers, that handily distinguished itself from other virtual drum instruments. Now brace yourself for Punch-2. Using a combination of drum samples and synthesis and a built-in pattern sequencer to trigger beats made Punch a totally unique drum machine. Now, by adding even more drum synthesis models, and introducing a totally new main screen which allows you to quickly create new drum kits, Punch-2 continues the sage of this cutting-edge drum machine — with tons of added Punch!

Your first-call session drummer

Aimed squarely at contemporary producers, Punch-2 gives you the ability to have multiple patterns at your fingertips — all triggerable for instant groove gratification onstage or in the studio. When he designed Punch, Rob Papen apparently thought of everything. It even lets you load your own samples and include them in your kits. How cool is that? With its jaw-dropping audio quality, stunning features, colossal synth power, and a massive arsenal of included sounds, Rob Papen’s Punch-2 will become your first-call session drummer.

Use synthesis and samples to build your own unique drum kits

Rob Papen’s Punch-2 puts huge synth power in your hands. You can build up your drums from scratch, or use the Punch-2’s built-in samples to create your ultimate drum kit. Punch-2 gives you the flexibility to do it your way. The mushrooming Punch user base has already spawned numerous drum kits designed by 3rd party developers and renowned DJs, and the list is constantly growing. You’ll be able to download the latest Punch-2 kit updates from Mr. Papen’s website. That’s huge.

Expanded interface and synthesis options

The interface and synthesis options have been greatly expanded in Punch-2. You can now import your own REX files and samples to transform into your own loops. You can map REX files or sample slices to individual pads and combine these creatively with Punch-2’s Sounds & Pattern sequencer. Further editing of REX files or sliced pads is also possible, using filters, envelopes, or routing into one of the four FX modules. And you can even apply granular synthesis techniques on the REX and Slice pads! There’s also a new Master section with EQ, Compression, Limiting, a Stereo/mono split filter, and layout mixer.
