Hi all,

We are pleased to announce that our virtual analog synthesizer B.I.T. is now available as a Rack Extension!


Introduction price! 20% discount until 1 March 2020

B.I.T. stands for Back In Time… So, no spectrum waveforms, or samples inside B.I.T. nope, it is pure ‘Analogue Modelled’ synthesis. Although B.I.T. has no patch cables on its front panel, it is modular by all means! The Modulation Matrix is used for patching, however, also included are the smart ‘advanced’ panels inside the Oscillators. With these advanced features, you can quickly make several connections such as LFO and Envelope to the Oscillator parameters inside of B.I.T.

Also included is the option to modulate Oscillator 2 by Oscillator 1 in several ways which expands the sound pallet with Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation, and Ring Modulation.

A Rob Papen synthesizer would, of course, be incomplete without the arpeggiator (which can also work in sequencer mode), so a fully-featured Arp is available and has an additional free row that you can use to modulate other parts of B.I.T. by using the Modulation Matrix. And of course, flip the Reason rack around and B.I.T.- RE includes the usual CV / Gate Inputs and Outputs, and an audio input for the use of the Filters or/and FX!!

Finally, adding the finishing touch inside B.I.T. is, of course, the FX section. Some superb sounding FX are included. You will find our top-notch Reverb inside B.I.T.-RE which means you won’t have to go outboard for adding reverb. As previously mentioned B.I.T. stands for ‘Back In Time’ however it can also mean ‘Be Inspired Today’ whilst using our Analogue Modelled Synthesizer.

Edit: be sure to check out the newsletter for details on upgrades and cross grades etc.

Super; nice !

Ah, that will be something to try out this coming weekend. The more the merrier!

Thanks for still making REs, Papeners! Is there any way to get the RE for cheap if you already have the eXplorer5 bundle?

This is amazing. Demo'ing while I work and only on laptop keys atm but the sound is fantastic. Presets are well organised and super usable and there are tonnes of them. This could be the replacement workhorse synth I've been looking for for a while now. Love it. Well done!!

Muahhh...the back is full of connections

I just already have the VST version...so what can i do

Killer Killer layout - UI. Very nice visual to stare at.

OSC w/ independent LFO and ENVs ... right there.
Fully Fledged independent Filters - with LFOs and ENVs... wow!

Nice use of space.
I think 'FINE' knobs should be BIGGER than Coarse, but, no biggie.
Ample FX...

Good challenger to Antidote.

Hi Rob,

is there any special deal on the RE for Explorer 6 owners?

Hahaha. I didn’t know you had that.

From the newsletter:

"If you already own B.I.T. as a VST, we can also offer you the RE version with a 50% discount. Just drop us a note at info@robpapen.com if you would like to own the RE version as well."

So that's around $40 for those of us who already bought the VST. No thanks.

I think there are some shop restructions... But i agree, it's not the best deal. I really would rather like to have the RE...

Sounds good!!!

I'm sure I told you, that 99€ deal if you already had some REs was too good to pass on

Hmmm. Are you sure it wasn’t me who told you about the deal? hahaha. Memory’s going.

Is this by design? PITCH BEND - or maybe another problem?

Pitch-Wheel value is exp- half-destination-value?

Example: BendDown 4, BendUp 4 results in 'one-tone' (maybe c -> d / g -> a) up & down.

Example: BendDown 2, BendUp 2 results in 'half-tone' (maybe c -> c# / g -> g#) up & down.

Example: BendDown 1, BendUp 1 results in 'quarter-tone' (maybe mid between c -> c# / g -> g#) up & down.

Haha, chances are that this is exactly what happened Maybe this is even how we started talking...? It was one of my first purchases outside of Reason.

One day, when we're old and grey, we can look at our RP accounts and compare purchase dates .

It's great to see another RE released from one of the big developers. Thank you for continuing to support the RE format, Rob Papen and Co.

Is there no waveform view in the RE?
Is that only a feature in the VST?

It's only available in the VST version.

Hi there,

This is a bug, it's been fixed and awaiting approval.

Thank you for mentioning it.

Omfg

Even though I have it in explorer

I have to get this!
It will get a ton of usage in Re format.
Thanks rob and team!

Hmm, in the recent time I realized that reason rack has made me to feel "claustrophobic". When I open VST floating window I encounter freedom I love to see instrument within the most of the computer screen so I can fully immerse into its user interface and get inspired.

The major drawback of the rack is too small knobs and faders on complex instrument. A lot of time I accidentally touch knob out of its area (because it's too small) and whole device gets blurred because of move action.

Sorry but I started the trial version on February 25 and it is March 14: at home, trial version finished and this B.I.T. RE has become inaccessible !
