Virtual instrument and effect plug-in developer Rob Papen Inspiration Soundware has announced WirePluck — perfectly personifying its preferred thinking-out-of-the-box approach as a 16-voice pluck sounds-specialising synthesizer plug-in promoting the creation of new inspirational sounds rather than replicating real acoustic instruments, thanks to the three oscillator layers made up from four selectable SOURCE synthesis types residing at its musical heart.

With WirePluck’s UI, laid out in its main screen operational mode for fast editing and creating new inspirational sounds, is a breeze with easy access to the most important parameters and ARP (arpeggiator) preset selection. Alternatively, ADVANCED screen operation offers up all available parameters for tweaking to anyone’s musical heart’s content.

The three oscillator layers — namely, LAYER 1, LAYER 2, and LAYER 3 — are made up from four selectable SOURCE synthesis types: Elsewhere, effects included in WirePluck are anchored around its dedicated DIST (distortion) — various types, MOD-FX (modulation effects) — comprising Chorus, Flanger, and so on, (stereo) DELAY — with unique EQUAL feedback option, and top-tier (RP-VERB algorithm-based) REVERB sections.

And as if all that was not enough to be getting on with, WirePluck also includes a full-featured ARP with some unique features, such as RATCHET MODE and CHORD control per step; an extensive CHORD memory section; and a MOD MATRIX with eight modulation slots — mainly for Rob Papen’s proprietary RIBBON CONTROLLER section, itself acting as a dedicated modulation source with its unique (tempo-based) SPRING BACK feature, usable in BIPOLAR and POLAR modes.

MANAGER mode provides easy access to a sizeable number of PRESETS — many made by Rob Papen himself.

WirePluck is available — as a 64-bit AAX-, AU-, VST-, and VST3-compatible virtual instrument plug-in for Mac (OS X 10.15 or higher, ARM processor compatible) and as a 64-bit VST- and VST3-compatible virtual instrument plug-in for PC (Windows 7 or higher) with 64-bit AAX compatibility available for PT 12 or higher (PC) — at an attractive price of only €49.00 EUR/$49.00 USD from authorised Rob Papen dealers worldwide or as a download directly from Rob Papen for that same price via its dedicated webpage, which also features more in-depth information, here: https://www.robpapen.com/WirePluck.html
