Taking up the mantle of its predecessor, Blue III sees renowned engineer Rob Papen elevate his lauded approach to FM synthesis with an arsenal of sonic sculpting tools. Blue III is outfitted with Rob’s innovative Cross-Fusion Synthesis, a groundbreaking combination of subtractive and FM synthesis that utilizes a powerful, flexible X/Y pad for inventive sound design. Over 5,000 presets form the bedrock of aural exploration afforded by this plug-in, co-developed by Rob in collaboration with numerous industry veterans. Load up to six oscillators at once, with a suite of EQ, waveshape, sub-oscillator parameters, and more, all individually tweakable. An interface overhaul makes it easier than ever to navigate the sonic depths of Blue III’s extensive filters, arpeggiator, FX, sequencer, and sample-management tools. From traditional FM to cutting-edge sounds, Sweetwater’s synthesists have deemed Blue III a worthy heir to Rob Papen’s innovative series of plug-in synths.

Rob Papen Blue III FM Synthesis Plug-in Features:

  • 6 oscillators allow for complex exploration of waveform and sample management to craft evocative, unique patches
  • Innovative Cross-Fusion Synthesis blends FM and subtractive styles of synthesis with an intuitive XY pad for unconventional sound design
  • 5,000+ presets have been developed by Rob Papen and industry mainstays to create an inspiring sonic sandbox
  • Redesigned interface streamlines interactivity to prioritize sound design while eliminating clutter and menu-diving
  • Newly reimagined “Karplus Strong String Model Synthesis” allows for even greater scope of waveform, filter, and sample use
  • 2 multimode filters can be toggled to run in series or parallel, with individually targeted destinations
  • Onboard FX supplement cutting-edge sounds with dimension and texture
  • Rhythmic tools include the built-in sequencer and arpeggiator for added depth
  • On-screen waveform visualizer provides real-time feedback in developing synth patches
