Rob Papen Releases BLADE

With a unique sound generator at its heart, and the  tools to add unprecedented movement and evolving changes, Blade is an  additive synthesis engine that has an individual character and  flexibility never seen before in a software synth.

The power of Blade lies in the Harmolator – a set of  global controls that get to the heart of the synthesis engine without  the need to edit the additive partials that make up the waveform. Nine  Harmolator controls shape the underlying partials, putting you in control of the harmonic content of the sound in an  intuitive and musical way.

Blade offers total control of the sound over time  using an array of different modulation controls. The most significant of  these is the central XY screen. Here you can either alter things  directly by moving the cursor around, or you can record paths which can be replayed, thus creating an incredibly advanced LFO.
