Product Description

• It is time now
• to evolve and use more sandpaper and to rub the edges of RAW. So please dust yourself off and welcome a grittier RAW-2! 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. The idea for RAW was born and developed together with creative input by the two producers mentioned above. Now
• after almost 10 years
• RAW is a well-established virtual synthesizer and its edgy sound appears in many of today’s Hardcore
• Hardstyle
• and even used in many other styles of productions! RAW-2 has two oscillators each with an X/Y field
• to distort the waveforms by using Phase Distortion. But that's not all
• you can also draw two of your own 'waveforms' and use them as LFO waveforms enabling the creation of unique 'wobble' movements. RAW-2 now features the ‘Ribbon Controller’ carried over from BIT-2(and other plugins) which allows you to dynamically change the sound with its superb tempo-based spring-back feature. RAW-2 has all the great Rob Papen filters to shape your sound further
• but in a refreshing twist
• 'EQ'
• ‘Waveshaper'
• 'Distortion' and 'LoFi' have also been added on a per voice synthesis level. Other FX such as Chorus
• Phaser
• Flanger
• Stereo delay and the amazing HQ Reverb of Rob Papen can all be added to your sound
• and of course a cool 32-step Arpeggiator/Sequencer
• and finally the preset bank manager have all been included as standard. In true Rob Papen style
