    Our unique drum plugins are at a hot Summer price this month!

    Punch-2 for only 99 bucks here
    RAW-Kick for only 49 bucks here
    Punch-BD only for 29 bucks! here

    TIP 1: Punch-2 is the most powerful drum synthesizer on this planet(well we are biased of course), so it is wise to check out the various YouTube videos here to understand the concept and the many features contained onboard.

    TIP 2: RAW-Kick is specialized in Hardcore/Hardstyle Kicks, but it also has some nice EDM and even HipHop Kicks on board! And indeed... as the first presets warns “LOUD PRESETS”

    TIP 3: Punch-BD will also be installed if you purchase Punch-2! In general, Punch-BD has many types of BD on board and you can stack up to 6 layers. If you like various BD types, for any music style then check out this plugin, and Rob’s personal favorites are the deep FX presets.

UniMagic Released!
 
UniMagic’s controls are minimal, to say the least. However, the sound produced is very high quality and extremely useful to thicken up your vocals or instruments.

The Ribbon controller allows you to alter the sound with fine adjustment by changing a predefined range of parameters inside each preset type. You can even change the sound to a tempo using its ‘spring back’ feature with selectable time divisions.

Yes, you might think... what type of FX is this ?...but we simply say, don’t worry about that and just use it on your vocal or instrument track.Flick through the various presets and find out that plugins don’t have to be full of features and functions to give you a great FX sound to use in your tracks.

E-MU 'Techno Synth Construction Yard' and 'Beat Garden'
 
Around 2000 Rob created two very successful ROM cards for the E-MU Proteus-2000 range , which are now available once more here!
 
The Proteus-2000 range of modules had the famous Z-plane Filter inside a 128-voice synth with sampled waves and loads of routing possibilities, and these features Rob Papen used of course!
 

The  ‘Techno Synth Construction Yard’ and ‘Beat Garden’ ROM’s were also combined inside the rare E-MU Orbit-3 module.
You can listen to the demo songs of the Orbit-3 here on YouTube.

These E-MU modules are still used in many studios, and these ROM cards are compatible with different E-MU modules and keyboards. So in case you haven’t yet expanded your E-MU device with the Rob Papen ROMs then check out all the information below.
