Rob Papen has released Punch-DB, a bass drum synthesizer and sample player plug-in instrument for Windows and Mac.

Rob Papen Punch-DB

Based around the BD module of the multi award winning Punch virtual drum synth, Rob Papen delivers a creative module to help you to produce the fattest sounding bass drums for your music.

Stacking bass drums is a popular technique used by today’s music producers and Punch-BD gives you the ability to stack up to 6 in total. Divide the 6 BD pads over the keyboard or use them ‘stacked’ in tuned mode to produce creative new BD sounds for all styles of contemporary music.

Punch-BD delivers synthesized drums in the finest audio quality or you can choose to load in your own samples for complete flexibility. Each pad has its own distortion module with several distortion types as well as its own 3 band graphic EQ. What’s more, each individual pad also has its own preset section next to the overall ‘BD kit’.

Like its big brother, Punch-BD features four FX units each with many 31 types of top quality FX plus further filters, envelopes, modulation routings and more for crafting your own unique sound.

Punch-BD for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/AAX) is available for purchase for 49 EUR / $59 USD. Punch-BD is free for owners of Punch, EDM Bundle, Urban Bundle and eXplorer-III.
