Rob Papen has done it again, pushing the boundaries of virtual instrument and effects design with the release of eXplorer 10. This powerhouse bundle, now boasting 33 of the developer's acclaimed plugins, represents a significant leap forward for music producers and sound designers of all genres. Here at Koala Audio, we're excited to bring you the inside scoop on this essential collection.
At the heart of eXplorer 10 lies the brand-new SynFex, a synth designed to effortlessly craft the dynamic risers and drops that define contemporary electronic and cinematic music. This isn't just another synth; it's a dedicated tool for creating dramatic sonic movement. The innovative Movement section allows for intricate tempo-synced effects, while the diverse filter options, granular synthesis capabilities, and built-in effects provide a vast sonic palette. Whether you're working with the extensive collection of classic synth sounds or importing your own samples, SynFex empowers you to create truly unique and impactful sounds.
But the innovation doesn't stop there. RAW-2, a fan-favorite, receives a significant upgrade with a wealth of new features and a refreshed preset library. This instrument, known for its powerful oscillators and intuitive X-Y pads, now offers even greater control over waveform manipulation through phase distortion and custom LFO shapes. The ability to draw intricate movement patterns directly on the X-Y pad opens up a world of sonic possibilities, making RAW-2 an indispensable tool for creating complex and evolving sounds.
Rob Papen has also enriched the existing eXplorer collection with new content for BLUE-III and Albino-3. The BLUE-III eXplorer-X soundset, featuring 130 fresh sounds from Gerald Arend (Klangwelt) and Rob Papen himself, adds a new dimension to this versatile synth. The Albino-3 Legend XPS soundset, with a staggering 850 presets, provides an immense library of inspiring sounds, ensuring you'll always find the perfect starting point for your productions.
Of course, compatibility is paramount, and eXplorer 10 delivers on all fronts. Supporting Windows 7 and above, as well as macOS 10.15 or higher, and offering VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats, this bundle seamlessly integrates into any modern DAW workflow. Rob Papen has also thoughtfully included a collection of legacy products, ensuring compatibility with older sessions and preserving your creative work.
For music educators and sound design professionals, the eXplorer 10 bundle is an invaluable resource. The sheer breadth of instruments and effects provides a comprehensive toolkit for exploring a wide range of sonic possibilities. From the cutting-edge sound design capabilities of SynFex and RAW-2 to the vast libraries of presets and the classic sounds of Albino-3 and BLUE-III, this bundle has something for everyone.
