Rob Papen Blue Virtual Synthesizer
One of the best recommendations we can offer for any music making gear is that it's designed by people who actually use it to make music. Such is the case with hit-making sound designer Rob Papen, who brought you the enormously successful Albino. Now, he teams up with music software developer Jon Ayres to bring you his latest cross-fusion virtual synthesizer, 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 HipHop/RnB 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.

Amazing Oscillating Capabilities
Blue offers up six Oscillator modules which include Analogue, Additive and Spectral type waveforms. Oscillators A and B offer PWM modulation and symmetry control. Oscillators can be combined in several ways using 32 different modulation routings in the Algorithm screen. Oscillators can have FM modulation or Ring modulation and can be oscillator hard synced. Each oscillator can be output to the filters, the effects or output as dry. There is practically no end to the amount of Oscillating options in Blue.
Massive Modulation
In Blue, each Oscillator can be sent through a separate filtering path, including nine envelopes, multimode filters, LFOs, and step sequencers. From beginners to advanced synth users, Blue offers anything from basic synth sounds, to advanced sound sculpting for nearly endless options. The internal routing matrix includes two effects blocks that can run either parallel or series to further expand the sonic possibilities. Blue also includes three modulation step sequencers and MIDI-syncable LFO for easy sound editing. All in all, Blue knows no bounds when it comes to creating sounds.
"Easy" Page for Quick Adjustments of Common Parameters
Blue provides an "Easy" page, allowing for quick and easy modifications to the current sound without disrupting the creative process. After all, there's nothing worse than losing your creative steam mid-project while you page through lists of options. Blue also allows for all settings including global settings can be stored inside individual presets. Furthermore, factory presets are clearly organized in categories by Rob Papen and DnB session banks with Giana-Brotherz. The "Easy" page in Blue also provides quick access to tempo changes.
