And don't get us started on the manual, which is infuriatingly incomplete - why are only three of the unison modes described? This changes the curvature of Predator's envelopes attack stage.

Additional Filter with cutoff and resonance control offering all 27 filter types setting of Filter 1 included Split 1 and Split 2 modes with panning control. It's hard to believe that Predator - still Rob Papen's and coding wizard Jon Ayers' most lauded synthesiser - is a decade old. For a second-generation synth in , they're conspicuous in their absence.

Of course, no developer should feel it has to incorporate these things, and we appreciate Predator 2's old- school vibes, but animated waveforms and modulation feedback are unarguably helpful in an instrument that moves as much as this one.
Pitch bend with shnth settings for up and down pitch-bends. You can load any of the preset waves as starting or, indeed, ending points; there's an optional quantise grid; and shaping processes Stretch, Filter, Distort, etc can be selected prwdator a menu, tweaked with one or two contextual knobs Low and High for the Filter Shaper, for exampleauditioned by clicking the thumbnail waveform, and baked in with a click of the Apply button.
Another new feature that workflow-savvy sound designers will fall in love with is the ability to save and load presets for each section of the synth.
Each oscillator has a PWM square wave Sub-oscillator. Toggle modes 1 and 2 which toggle between normal and special. The replayed movement of the puck predato this path is open to plenty of creative tweaking, including looping, speeding up and slowing down, syncing to host tempo, and quantising to path resolution, background grid and time. Changes Predator's velocity curvature. Preset morphing with amount control to morph between two presets within the selected bank.
Strum timing for use with chord mode, with timing in ms or tempo synced. Predator 2's waveforms are generated by an additive synthesis engine, so it's presumably no great conceptual leap to afford the user the predztor to design their own through the wrangling of partials.
This is housed in the aforementioned tabbed Multi-Page, and consists of two three-band parametric EQs - one pre-effects, one post - each topped and tailed with high- and low-pass filters. You can also create a wavetable or Wave Set, in Predator parlance of up to eight waves in the User Wave tab and load that into an oscillator, in which case the Morph knob transforms into an index control, scanning through the waves in stepped, mixed or morphed manners.
All advance settings are saved within each synht preset. A third filter has also been bolted on - a simple resonant high-pass with keytracking. There is a wide range of usable yet emotionally charged patches suited for any genre. It's a jaw-dropping universe of sounds that hours can easily get lost in.

Cons Modulation interface feels 'old'. He has also recently been involved in dubstep remix projects for a variety of artists including Skepta 3 Beat RecordsCount and Sinden, and his highly anticipated debut album was released to glowing reviews internationally.
It's hard to believe that Predator - still Rob Papen's and coding wizard Jon Ayers' most lauded synthesiser - is a decade old. Tempo based sync option. Over in the Filter section, Predator's previously simple second filter has been beefed up to match the main one, with the addition of all five hardwired modulation options, including its own ADSFR envelope.
The price of this soundset is: Up to six unison voices are now available to every triggered voice, no matter which Play Mode is active, and chords of up to eight notes can be manually defined in the Multi-Page, complete with variable Strum for spacing notes out, guitar strum style and per-voice panning.
Arpeggiator patterns can be steps long. Upon its release init blew us away with its almost-single-screen interface, huge selection of waveforms, unrivalled effects and stellar sound.

However, the Multi Distort module now also appears in hardwired form in the Amp section, bringing its 11 distortion types to Predator 2's main architecture; and the Equalizer module may not see much action any more thanks to the superior new integrated EQ. Adjustable Analogness setting to simulate the instability of vintage analogue synthesizers.
There is, however, an alternative white skin in syth pipeline that we've seen and can't wait to switch to. Listen to the demos to get a feel the versatility of this sonic assault. One of the greatest soft synths gets a comprehensive makeover and improves in functionality, although the interface is a tad dated. Help function for most controls.
