Rob Papen is a name that has become synonymous with virtual instrument plug-ins, following on from the legacy, set by the likes of Albino. Predator 2 is a long-awaited update, which promises a whole host of new features and functions, so let’s dive in…
Makeup of the Predator
Starting at the beginning, the oscillators of Predator 2 see the first major update; these three primary tone sources offer the selection of one of 128 waveforms, which consist of basic classics and more advanced wavetable timbres. Added to which, each oscillator can now host two of these waves, and be blended, via the rather obvious Morph control – but going further, this control can be set to a number of other functions, such as FM and Ring Modulation.
