Rob Papen Intros eXplorer 6 With 2 New Plugins Punch 2 & XY-Transfer

synthanatomy.com

Rob Papen eXplorer 6 delivers substantial improvements with the addition of Punch 2 and XY-Transfer plugins, offering an engaging user experience with its revamped interface and advanced sound manipulation capabilities. The new drum machine, Punch 2, shines with its synthesis options and comprehensive features for creating custom loops. Meanwhile, XY-Transfer stands out for its innovative multi-effect processing, pushing the boundaries of typical effect units. However, the high price tag may deter some users, especially those new to the Rob Papen ecosystem. Overall, eXplorer 6 is a compelling bundle for dedicated producers, but potential buyers should weigh its cost against their needs.

Quality Sound

I'm not over the moon about all of the GUIs. Some seem cluttered, but the sound more than makes up for those. The amount of waveforms on Blue 2 is staggering, and the oscillators are really good quality with plenty of body I had 3 products, and bought another for £39, and managed to get the whole explorer bundle for £100, which then worked out at £5 per plugin. Blue 2 or Punch 2 was worth £100 on their own, so it was an insane deal that I just couldn't walk past. All the other plugins are a nice bonus on top of the ones I actually wanted. Rob Papen customer support has always been really good and they are quick to help. Rob himself seems like a genuinely nice guy too. Very happy all round.
