Predator 2
Predator 2 is the successor of a legendary synthesizer that has inspired many artists/composers and appears on countless music tracks! As before it combines inspiring presets and cutting edge features to make this your 'go-to' synth for contemporary music production. The user interface has again been designed so that almost all main controls are visible on screen, making it fun and incredibly easy-to-use.
RP-EQ
In the virtual music world there are a countless number of different EQ's available...so why another one? Well, Rob Papen is all about sound and he was convinced he could add something special to the EQ plugins. When you first open RP-EQ in your DAW software you will see that it is far from a basic bread-and-butter equalizer. Unique elements were added to the core equalizer unit. The toolbox includes a Mid/Side equalizer mode and Mono/Stereo split filter which is used frequently in modern EDM/Dance music styles.
The Air section is fantastic on your master channel and the proven X/Y Pad adds a dynamic and creative edge to an already very musical RP-EQ. In true Rob Papen style, RP-EQ comes with many great presets to get you started and with the 'sound' of RP-EQ you will have a great go to plug-in for your top notch music productions!
Blade
The initial idea for Blade was born out of the want to have more 'human input' into the sound. The classic synthesizer parts for modulation are LFOs and Envelopes. The 'human input' is the keyboard we play and controllers like pitch bend or modulation wheel. A XY pad is perfect for the human input, but it controls only the filter and volume... Rob Papen found this to be too limited. They wanted also to control the 'harmonics' of the oscillator...changing the waveform using the XY pad. Out of this idea, Blade was born...
Punch
With Punch, Rob Papen delivers a brand new speaker busting, body rattling software instrument. Punch delivers synthesized drums in the finest audio quality and with breathtaking features for the contemporary producer. You can use synthesis and the built in samples to build your own unique sounding drum-kit, but also your own samples can be loaded into Punch to complete your kit.
BLUE-II
First released in 2005 BLUE already reflected Rob Papen's cutting-edge, creative and - most importantly - musical approach towards developing virtual instruments by first delivering FM and subtractive synthesis, then duly adding Phase Distortion and wave shaping synthesis into the highly creative mix to create one seriously creative combination. Rob Papen himself called it 'Cross-fusion synthesis' since it covered so much musical ground so effectively.
SubBoomBass
SubBoomBass is filled with excessive amounts of low end ammunition to detonate your tracks! With presets designed by the legendary Rob Papen and other guest artists, this dedicated bass synth will supply you with huge cone-rattling sounds that will body any music track. This software instrument is great for Hip Hop and RnB but can also be used for Dubstep, video game music, film scores and more...

RG
RG is a unique groove plug-in that is far more than just a "virtual Rhythm Guitar player ! By using the RG onboard sequencer it is possible to create classic Rhythm Guitar grooves, but beyond that you can use the synthesizer features and effects to make fresh new edgy guitar grooves. To play the grooves RG is using a keyboard layout of "major chords" and "minor chords", each with two sequence patterns (A or B) option.
It is only a matter of hitting a single note in the major keyboard range or minor keyboard range and the groove plays. The sound sets are clean sampled guitars, which gives you great freedom and flexibility when using the synthesizer features and effects of RG. Additionally there are also the Power Chord, Distorted sound and Muted guitar sound banks which both have no major or minor range, but can still sequence A and B.
RP-Delay
RP-Delay is a unique delay which is heavily focused on some very special features, including brand new fx routing! For instance, the sound reverser can reverse the input, while simultaneously reversing one of the delay lines. The reverse sound can also be triggered with your keyboard, generating totally new sounds and sending them into the reverser with its own filter and distortion! You can have 6 delay lines with 8 active multi-mode? filters all operating at once in each of several delay models.
Of course, they included basic delay models like a simple mono delay and a stereo delay, but also a tape-sound delay which allows you to change tape length without any clicks. The delays, filters and reverser can all be modulated by the built-in modulators. There are 4 modulation sequencers, 4 LFO's and 4 envelopes, complete with several trigger options! There are many other new features and options for you to discover which aren't mentioned here, so go ahead, take the plunge and dig into the brand new experience of RP-Delay.
RP-Verb
You've spent hours on your track? Working and reworking every part to bring your musical vision to life. And you know that the quality of your reverb can be the difference between the rich sounding mix you're after and one that comes off as flat and artificial. Face it: When it comes to pristine, authentic reverb, it's the algorithm that counts. RP-Verb is the fruit of Rob Papen's decades-long study of reverb and endless hours of exploring, testing and tweaking by Rob and Jon Ayres.
The result is exactly what you would expect: a stunning, musical reverb that brings unmatched dimension and fullness to your mixes. But if you're thinking that this sound quality must come at the cost of usability, fear not RP-Verb has a straightforward, intuitive interface that puts all the most essential parameters right at your fingertips. And like all Rob Papen plug-ins, it inspires right out of the box with spot-on presets that range from intimate venues to abstract, surreal spaces.
RP-Distort
RP-Distort is not just a distortion unit, but much more. The distortion unit inside RP-Distort can be combined with an analog modelled filter, compressor and widener unit. These units can be re-order, but also can be turned on or off. So in case you only want a great analog modelled filter... RP-Distort can offer this. Or only the unique widener unit which is great for widening a boring mono track.
On top of that, the controls can be modulated using midi sources or by one of the 4 build in LFO?s that can sync to your host tempo.. The distortion unit offers 33 distortion types included ring modulator, FM, two band distortions and lo-fi. Inside this section you can also find the EQ and noise-gate. RP-Distort is in fact a wicked FX unit that will distort or alter your tracks in an inspirational way!
RP-Amod
As you will probably know, a modulator is a term that is used in synthesizers. They are various types of settings that can change and alter a sound. With RP-AMOD you can use it's modulators to alter your audio in different ways. They have added 'Phaser', 'Flanger', 'Chorus', 'Ensemble' and 'Tremelo', which are classic audio modulation FX. What differs with RP-AMOD from these classic versions, is that you can also 'tempo sync' them to your music and you can use two FX at the same time in various routing configurations. These routing options are not only in serial and parallel, but you can also 'filter split' the audio signal ahead of going to both of the FX! RP-AMOD can spice up your vocal track, liven an instrument and even beef up your drums or drum-loops.
Punch-BD
Based around the BD module of the multi award winning Punch virtual drum synth, Rob Papen delivers a creative module to help you to produce the fattest sounding bass drums for your music. Stacking bass drums is a popular technique used by today's music producers and Punch-BD gives you the ability to stack up to 6 in total. Divide the 6 BD pads over the keyboard or use them 'stacked' in tuned mode to produce creative new BD sounds for all styles of contemporary music.
RAW
At the Dutch Dancefair 2014, DJ Promo (aka producer Sebastian Hoff) and DJ Free-K (aka producer Freek Vergoossen) approached Rob Papen with the idea of a synthesizer that focused more on 'distorted' sounds with an easy to use layout. 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.
