Rob Papen B.I.T.

B.I.T.  Back In Time is unlike previous Rob Papen synthesisers, instead of combining analogue modelling with hybrid synthesis, B.I.T. focuses on Analogue Modelled Synthesis. This classic analogue type of synthesis has its own charm therefore, no spectrum waveforms, or samples are inside B.I.T. it is pure ‘Analogue Modelled’ synthesis.

Although B.I.T. has no patch cables, it is modular! The Modulation Matrix is used for the patching, however, also included is the smart ‘advanced’ panel below the Oscillators. With these advanced features (accessed by switching the ADV switch), you can quickly make several connections such as LFO and Envelope to the Oscillator parameters inside of B.I.T.

There’s options to modulate Oscillator 2 by Oscillator 1 in several ways which expands the sound pallet with Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation and Ring Modulation. The arpeggiator also works in sequencer mode giving you a fully featured Arp that has an additional free row to modulate other parts of B.I.T. by using the Modulation Matrix.
