RAW - the Name Says it All

So, you've got an in-the-box arrangement that's crying out for a screaming distorted synth line and a fat, growling bass. You"ve tried patching your go-to soft synth through a virtual overdrive device - but that's not cutting it. Sweetwater has a suggestion: RAW, from Rob Papen - it was born to be raucous. RAW rocks two oscillators, each with an XY field that lets you easily phase-distort the waveform. You can also draw two of your own "waveforms" and use them as LFOs for killer wobble motion that's ideal for for DubStep and other EDM genres. Bottom line: if you need a snarling synth with mad-dog bite, give Rob Papen RAW an audition.

Sculpt your signature synth sounds

RAW gives you all the cool Rob Papen filters to shape your sound, but you also get Waveshaper, Distortion, and LoFi on the voice-synthesis level. You can juice your signal with other Papen effects such as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Stereo delay, and the stellar HQ Reverb. Naturally, Rob's renowned Arpeggiator/Sequencer, Easypage, and preset bank manager are all included as standard. And in classic Rob Papen fashion, RAW comes with a boatload of great presets with contributions from several well-known producers and DJs for instant inspiration.

Fire In The Mids

RAW is classic Rob Papen with a few twists. I really thought it would have more bottom to it, but its very...well, raw. I find it a very useful tool for crafting mid basses that crunch and move. The synth sits very well in the mix and cuts through when needed. I especially like the user defined waveforms!
