Here’s Rob Papen‘s official introduction to his new virtual drum machine, Rob Papen 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 can use synthesis and the build in samples to build your own unique sounding drum-kit, but also your own samples can be loaded into Punch to complete your kit. Your sounds can then be crafted using the stunning features, filters and huge synth power we all know from other RP synthesizers.
Punch has a unique sound but also built in sequencers, allowing you the user to have multiple patterns at your finger tips. These grooves can be triggered in a live environment to build a song, but are also great for just improvisation and jamming!
Also featured are drum-kits built by famous DJ’s which complete the arsenal of power that is Punch…
Punch is expected to be available by the end of May.
Neat. I don't know if I'm terribly interested… I would love to have a software alternative to the Machinedrum (which is too expensive for my budget)… but I'm not sure this is it. At the moment, I do all my percussion with a combination of synths (particularly the NI Synths), Stylus RMX, and Microtonic.
…I suppose if this lands at a $150 street price, I'll add it to the purchase queue. I do like the RP synths (I'm an addict of Predator, which is, IMO, a vastly underrated synth).
