Rob Papen Blue 2 Update

Creators of inspirational soundware Rob Papen has announced a free update for existing BLUE II users.

The new banks are taken from previous Blue trade soundsets Rsmus7, JoMal bank 04 and Tim Conrardy.

To update your BLUE II now log in to www.robpapen.com and visit ‘my products’ open the download page below your BLUE II registration, download the installer and run it on your system.

 Next time you boot up BLUE-II, the new presets will appear.

I do not own it but it's had a very positive response. Pad monster springs to mind.

One owner said:

Pros:
Monster feature set
Just about everything can be modulated
Very easy to use
Loads of presets
Great overall sound
Great price for something that covers so much ground

Cons:
Complexity might still be off-putting for some
Some will desire a higher degree of analog emulation
No Macro performance controls (but you do get an Easy page)
No user samples
Presets when modified are saved modified unless you reset them.
Sometimes after changing presets the synth would suddenly mute, momentarily.

Actually that comes from a fairly in depth review.

A friend of mine had the original Blue and I used to use it occasionally - I did like it but never purchased - I have not tried Blue II although heard good things - Blue II might be more persuasive about making me take a purchase decision, but unless it was at a very good sale price, probably out of my self imposed monthly budget (pocket money)!

You might be able to get a good price at KVR......although at the moment, it may be in high demand.
