Product Detail
At the 2014 Dutch Dancefair, DJ Promo and DJ Free - K proposed an idea to Rob Papen. They wanted a synthesizer with an easy - to - use layout that focused on 'distorted' sounds. Rob Papen, famous for creating fresh, cutting - edge and musical plugins, invited the DJs for brainstorming. After multiple sessions, he and his team created the powerful virtual synth, RAW. Picture a synth inside a distortion effect, then add some unexpected possibilities, and that's RAW. RAW has two oscillators with an X/Y field for waveform distortion using Phase Distortion, like in Blade and BLUE II. You can also draw your own 'waveforms' as LFO waveforms, ideal for creating unique 'wobble' movements in DubStep and other electronic music. It comes with all of Rob Papen's great filters. On top of that, 'EQ', 'Waveshaper', 'Distortion' and 'LoFi' are added at the voice synthesis level. Other FX such as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Stereo delay and the amazing HQ Reverb can enhance your sound. The Arpeggiator/Sequencer, Easy page and preset bank manager are standard features. With many great presets contributed by well - known DJs and producers, it offers instant inspiration. Compatibility includes PC (32 & 64 - bit VST and AAX for Windows Vista - 10, AAX for PT 12 or higher), OS - Mac (32 & 64 bits in AU, VST and AAX for OSX 10.6 or higher), and it's compatible with the NI NKS system. There's a serial/license system with activation upon registration, and a 2nd serial for a secondary device is available after registering the original one.
Using Rob Papen RAW is quite straightforward. First, you can start by exploring the presets contributed by well - known DJs and producers. These presets can give you instant inspiration for your music. To create your own unique sounds, use the two oscillators with the X/Y field for phase distortion. You can also draw your own waveforms to use as LFO waveforms, which is great for creating those cool 'wobble' effects. When it comes to shaping your sound, take advantage of the filters, EQ, waveshaper, distortion and LoFi features. You can add other FX like chorus, phaser, flanger, stereo delay and HQ reverb to make your sound even more interesting. And don't forget to play around with the arpeggiator/sequencer for rhythm. As for compatibility, make sure your PC runs Windows Vista - 10 and your Mac runs OSX 10.6 or higher. If you're using AAX on PC, it needs to be PT 12 or higher. When you register the product, activate the serial/license system. You can get a second serial for a secondary computer or laptop after registering the original one. There aren't many special maintenance steps for this virtual synth. Just keep your computer's software up - to - date and make sure it has enough resources to run the synth smoothly.
