The label ‘legend’ is often used all too easily these days but in the world of dance music it’d be criminal not to use the term when referring to Rob Tissera. This top selling producer and DJ’s career began way back in the 1980s and since then he has played at the world’s biggest parties including Gatecrasher, Cream, Global Gathering and Homelands to name a few…
We heard that Rob frequently uses Rob Papen virtual synths so we caught up with him to find out why he chooses to use them and whether he has any aspirations to follow in the footsteps of other DJs and Producers to create a sample library of his own.

Rob Papen is one of the world´s leading sound designers. He started off with a number one hit in Benelux aged just 18 and has subsequently created patches for the Access Virus and EMU.

Rob Papen´s very first virtual instrument ´Albino´ was released in 2002 and quickly became a massive hit with many leading producers.
Since then, other award winning virtual synths have been added to the Rob Papen line including ´Blue´, ´Predator´, ´RG´ and most recently, ´SubBoomBass´. All 4 of these instruments are included in this ‘Power Tools‘ collection which will provide the user with an arsenal of inspiration and sounds for producing music.

Rob Papen has announced that his next product will be an algorithmic reverb plug-in: RP-Verb. It is hoped to be ready for release by the end of July, 2009 and will be available for Windows and Mac OS X in VST, AU and RTAS plug-in formats with an RRP of £129.
So why a reverb plug-in?
In 1981, while Rob Papen was recording in the Wisseloord studios, legendary engineer Ronald Prent sent the sound of electronic drums, using speakers, into a big recording room and picked up the sound with microphones to add “room” to the electronic drum sound. At the time, as a young synth player, Rob became obsessed with rooms and reverbs.
Together with music software developer Jon Ayres, Rob Papen explored new algorithms and, after much testing and tweaking, RP-Verb was born.
The full specification is yet to be confirmed but will include numerous user controls, ‘space types’ and colours, not to mention a huge variety of presets designed to suit all genres of music. More details coming soon!

DON’T FORGET, there’s 25% off Rob Papen’s Predator, RG and Blue virtual synths until 31st July 2009!

SubBoomBass is filled with excessive amounts of low end ammunition to detonate your tracks! With presets designed by the legendary Rob Papen and other guest artists, this dedicated bass synth will supply you with huge cone-rattling sounds that will devastate any dancefloor. This software instrument is great for Hip Hop and RnB but can also be used for Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Garage, Grime and much more…
Originally unveiled at Namm back in January, this brand new ultra deep synth bass virtual instrument from Rob Papen has already received masses of attention and acclaim from top producers worldwide.
Top Hip Hop Producer Teddy Riley, who is well known for working on Michael Jackson´s album Dangerous (which sold 32 million copies worldwide) and also formed the R&B group Blackstreet, has already been using SubBoomBass and is full of enthusiasm for the product:
“SubBoomBass is the most incredible vst instrument that features lots of Bass sounds with a sub bottom that has lots of Boom. You will hear the SUB-response below 40hz BOOM-rumbling the floor. BASS-sounds that are so warm, it will excite you to make track all day everyday. SubBoomBass is HOT!!!!“
And Junkie XL, who is probably most famous for his remix of Elvis Presley´s ´A Little Less Conversation´ which became No. 1 in more than twenty countries in 2002, is also a fan…
“I´ve loved SubBoomBass from the start! Instant access over lots of great sounding deep basses that immediately sit nice in the mix!! A must have for every dance-producer!!“
