Rob Papen Punch Software Synthesizer

The Rob Papen Punch has a unique sound but also built in sequencers, allowing you the user to have multiple patterns at your finger tips. These grooves can be triggered in a live environment to build a song, but are also great for just improvisation and jamming. Punch delivers synthesized drums in the finest audio quality and with breathtaking features for the contemporary producer.
