Rob Papen RAW-Kick

Full Description

Seamless blend of synth and sample

The best of both worlds, RAW-Kick offers two modes to build your drum sound. Three individual layers can operate as either a dedicated synth model or a sample-based layer. This combination allows you to create unique sounds, helping your music to stand out from the crowd of ubiquitous samples or synth sounds. Breaking free from cut and paste samples, RAW-Kick lets you experiment with a hybrid solution to tailor your kick drum sound perfectly to your composition.

This tried and tested method allows you to save CPU space on your project as well. Combining both synth and sample in one plugin, you won't need to reach for another plugin, VST or sampler, instead everything can be processed inside of one plugin. Placing everything in one window can also benefit your workflow, removing the need to jump from plugin to plugin to make any quick adjustments, letting you craft your sound faster than ever.

Customise your sound with onboard effects

Getting the perfect kick drum sound is made even more simple through the inclusion of several tweakable parameters and effects inside RAW-Kick. Two effects lanes can be engaged simultaneously to offer a wide range of tonal shaping options, helping you to either carve a space within your mix or to create complete low-end sonic destruction. Each effect lane features a wet/dry mix knob, low and high-pass filter, limiter, tone control, boost and level controls to tailor your effects to your sound.

Ideal for adding grit, texture and character to your sound, a range of distortion effects have been included. Distortion is very commonly used within electronic music production as it helps to add the saturation and harmonics needed to cut through dense mixes with lots of other instruments occupying the low-end. Blending in heavy distortion could be the edge you need to create thundering, dance-floor filling kick drums in your productions.

Additionally, RAW-Kick includes an authentic multi-mode analog filter section. Fully functional, the filter section within RAW-Kick offers complete control over every aspect of your tone shaping. Frequency cut-off, slope aggression as well as a full ADSR envelope and distortion control are present to help you create the pounding kick drums you hear in all of your favourite EDM records. Of course in true Rob Papen style, the filter can be modulated by both the integrated LFO and X/Y morphing section.

Rounding out the control parameters of RAW-Kick, you are provided with a master section that includes two Pre/Post EQs to help carve a space within your mix for your bass drum to sit. The most important part of any electronic song, the kick drum must be the foundation where the song is built therefore getting it to sit right within your mix is a must!
