With Punch, Rob Papen delivers new software instrument synthesized drums.
Punch lets you use synthesis to build your own drum-kit, and your own samples can be loaded into Punch to complete your kit. Your sounds can then be crafted using the features, filters and synth power known from other RP synthesizers.
Punch also features a built in sequencer. These grooves can be triggered in a live environment to build a song, but are also good for improvisation and jamming.
