I was surprised that there wasn't an existing thread that wasn't too old about this bundle. I just upgraded from 4 to 5 and will get 6 free for $49. Amazing. I thought 4 was a good deal, with so many really nice synths and effects. I also had Go2 which dropped the upgrade price from $99 to $49. I used my Patreon money to buy it - thanks Patrons!

Great selection of synths! I'd recommend you download the demo of the bundle and try it all out. They are, dare I say, in the same class as u-he, for me anyway. I enjoy really complex interesting layered rhythmic work and I can always find great sound with the arps etc in the bundle. All the synths are very strong in terms of unique sound quality. I haven't much experience with the effects but from what I have heard they are also very nice with unique features. Just tried the Verb2 and it sounds really nice with the Space Orbit reverbs. Comet class. Punch is nice with the midi controllable parts. and Sub Boom Bass2 is amazing for the music I do - very inspiring.

Just a shout out for this great bundle!

Yes, RPCX Explorer it's cool)))) I am fan of Rob Papen synths and effects.

Plexuss, you are correct.

Rob Papen is the best deal going out there; buy explorer, and new synths are added at no charge. When I upgrade 5 to 6 ($99),
3 new synths are coming. Predator 2 has 6000 patches!

My 'desert Island' synths would be Explorer and all of Spectrasonics synths.

Rob Papen Explorer bundle is great value for money and he's very supportive towards customers.
Strange that he always seems to fly under the radar.

Punch2 is on it's way and will be the first new product in Explorer 6.

It has been mentioned before, but I'll say it again. The RP plugins have an unique sound to them, especially the synths. I use them less than I should, but every time I use my RP plugins, I'm pleasantly surprised. I own Explorer 5, but definitely upgrading to 6 when it comes out.

I'm hoping RP-Delay and RP-Distort and RP-Amod get GUI updates in the same way RP-Verb did.

I too use RP products far less than I should. Every time I work with them, I am pleased. Just a great sound and easy to fit into a mix. Incredible variety as well.

I have explorer5 , just bought it in fact off someone, with GO2, so hopefully a cheaper upgrade path to Explorer6

JonSolo · Post by **JonSolo** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 3:02 pm

As mentioned 5 to 6 will be $99.

Rob always does some fantastic synths. Since Albino 3 I have been a huge fan! Lately I have been playing with BIT quite, um, a bit.

I had 4. I upgraded to 5 during the time 6 would be free. I just got 6 today and am playing with the new products. I also had Go2, the upgade was $49. Very nice. I had a hell of a time with thier auth system. Tech support stopped helping me (perhaps because of time zones) but I ended up solving the problem and got up and running.
