All things bass
This little guy is a pretty versatile bassline-generating machine. You can design pretty much any type of bass sound you could possibly think of (although you may need a bit of modulation and processing outside of the plugin) and it really shines with the new future bass sound that many producers are going for lately.

Laidback Luke was asked "I can't seem to get the sub bass to really rumble. How do you tweak your bass so there's rumble and you can hear its notes?" He replied "Try the plugin called Sub Boom Bass by Rob Paapen. You'll need to have proper low end in your sound to EQ it right."
Bassnectar mentions using the Rob Papen SubBoomBass Software Synthesizer in a tweet, highlighting it among his preferred synth plugins.
“I like all Rob Papen’s stuff, and SubBoomBass is one of my favourites. There are some really great bass sounds in there. The sequencer is a cool, funky, creative tool to play around with - it enables you to have some creative moments just by trying things out. I used it for the bassline on Rock This from the new album - it’s a dirty, farty bass.”
