Rob Papen

Renowned for delivering fresh, cutting edge and musical plugins for producers, Rob Papen invited the DJs to his studio for a brainstorming session resulting in a list of 'must-have' features and tools for a brand new synth. Armed with this list and several more brainstorming sessions later, Rob Papen and his development team created a powerful new virtual synth RAW.

Rob Papen virtual plugins are at the cutting edge of contemporary music production! Powerful instruments and FX that bring together innovative design, high-end sound quality, and musical production-grade presets to help make your tracks shine.

B.I.T. stands for Back In Time…Instead of combining the best of analog modeling with hybrid synthesis, which we can see with the other Rob Papen synthesizers, B.I.T. focuses on Analogue Modelled Synthesis.

When it was first released in 2005 ‘BLUE’ already reflected Rob Papen’s cutting-edge, creative, and — most importantly — musical approach toward developing virtual synthesizers. Rob Papen himself called it ‘Cross-fusion synthesis’ because it covered both Subtractive and FM synthesis in one creative concept. With its successor BLUE-II, the ‘Cross-fusion synthesis’ was also expanded with a creative range of samples and the highly versatile XY pad.

In the Rob Papen world of synthesis, there was one type of synthesizer missing… A synthesizer that has all of its controls and features available visually all at once. So, the original Go2 was developed, and it instantly became very popular and used by many musicians and composers in their productions. Now it has been upgraded to Go2-X and it has been enhanced with even more useful features and enhancements to what already was the ‘Go To’ synthesizer!

The resurrection of a legendary and groundbreaking software synthesizer from the past! Originally released in 2006, Albino-3 was the result of a collaboration between Virtual Instrument designer Peter Linsener and Dutch sound designer and musician Rob Papen.

The original BLADE synthesizer released in 2012 had a unique concept in controlling the waveform harmonics (Harmolator) by using an XY pad. On top of that, the XY pad movement could also be recorded, edited, and played back tempo-based.This concept of BLADE meant that you could generate some very different sounds, compared to regular subtractive and even additive synthesizers.

Picture a -Filter Bank- with 36 different Filter types and an XY panel which can also be recorded and played back in several different ways. Yes…that is already very cool, however, picture in your mind that you can also use it in combination with 2 other FX, which also have their own XY pad and this is all then polished off with a flexible Stereo Delay!
