Rob Papen Releases Blade

Rob Papen has released his latest synthesizer called "Blade".  Blade is an additive synth that takes a different approach to sound creation in an effort to make that sometimes complicated process more accessible.  Instead of adjusting individual partials like traditional additive synthesis, Blade is based around the "Harmolator, a series of simple controls that makes the sound creation process more akin to subtractive synthesis.  Sounds can be fattened up with oscillator spread and further sculpted with an extensive array of distortions and filters.  It also includes extensive modulation capabilities, a sequencer/arp, and high-quality built-in effects.

Blade is available for a limited time for the introductory price of $119.  A demo version is also available.
