Bored of bland presets and the same old synth controls? Want to give your music the edge with new audio sculpting tools and features? RAW is a virtual synth plugin from legendary sound designer Rob Papen. It will work with all the major DAWs including Logic, Ableton, Cubase, and Fruity Loops. The concept for RAW was formed at the Dancefair event in 2014, when Dutch producers DJ Promo and DJ Free-k approached Rob Papen with the idea of a synthesiser 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. Comes with FREE RP A-MOD modulation plugin + PRISMA!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RAW has two oscillators each with an X/Y field, (as included in Blade and BLUE-II) to distort the waveform 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 that are perfect for for dubstep and other electronic music styles. In addition, RAW has all the premium quality Rob Papen filters to shape your sound further, but in a refreshing twist, 'EQ', 'Waveshaper', 'Distortion' and 'LoFi' have also been added on a voice synthesis level. Other FX such as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Stereo delay and the amazing Rob Papen HQ Reverb can all be added to your sound and of course, the cool arpeggiator / sequencer, easy-page and preset bank manager have all been included as standard. In true Rob Papen style, RAW comes with many inspiring presets including contributions from several well known DJs and Producers.

"RAW sounds like its name: dirty, distorted, raw. RAW is a specialist when it comes to these sounds, as you have at your fingertips all the tools you need for these kinds of sounds. I enjoy that the sound of RAW is equally dirty and high quality". - FilmandGameComposers "I never found it so easy to produce good sounding distorted sounds, that live and move almost organic while playing. A lot of automation worked is saved here. Of course the digital distortion is very brutal at times, which is a highlight for all Dubstep & EDM producers but is not easy to place in every mix. So dirty electro producers & sound designers should definitely take a closer look!" - TheAudioSpotlight "This is a fantastically capable synthesizer, with enough parameters and options to reach well beyond its remit as a distortion synthesizer. - Resident Advisor "There are a lot interesting sound effects with RAW to supplement intros, endings, and breaks in songs. The distorted sounds are better than I have heard from other synthesizers without using an amp to achieve a full sound. The ability to effectively layer distorted sounds with overdriven guitar tracks earns a place in my recording tool bag. " - Harmony Central "I found everything else to be very user friendly including a lot of solid presets to help you learn the instrument’s capabilities. If you’re looking for a soft synth you can get some gritty sounds from then I do recommend you give this a go." - The Modern Producer

"Imagine a synth inside of a distortion effect. Then add some possibilities you hadn't thought of. That's kind of what RAW is like." - Noisia
