It is time now, to evolve and use more sandpaper and to rub the edges of RAW. So please dust yourself off and welcome a grittier RAW-2!

At the Dutch Dancefair 2014, DJ Promo (aka producer Sebastian Hoff) and DJ Free-K (aka producer Freek Vergoossen) approached Rob Papen with the idea of a synthesizer that focused more on 'distorted' sounds with an easy-to-use layout. The idea for RAW was born and developed together with creative input by the two producers mentioned above.

Now, after almost 10 years, RAW is a well-established virtual synthesizer and its edgy sound appears in many of today’s Hardcore, Hardstyle, and even used in many other styles of productions!

RAW-2 has two oscillators each with an X/Y field, to distort the waveforms by using Phase Distortion. But that's not all, you can also draw two of your own 'waveforms' and use them as LFO waveforms enabling the creation of unique 'wobble' movements.

RAW-2 now features the ‘Ribbon Controller’ carried over from BIT-2(and other plugins) which allows you to dynamically change the sound with its superb tempo-based spring-back feature.

RAW-2 has all the great Rob Papen filters to shape your sound further, but in a refreshing twist, 'EQ', ‘Waveshaper', 'Distortion' and 'LoFi' have also been added on a per voice synthesis level. Other FX such as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Stereo delay and the amazing HQ Reverb of Rob Papen can all be added to your sound, and of course 
a Cool 32-step Arpeggiator/Sequencer, and finally the preset bank manager have all been included as standard.
