Delays, reverb, distortion, vocoder… it’s all there. To round things up we have three effect slots available, with 24 effects to choose from for each slot. The arp doesn’t just work as a regular arpeggiator but can also be used as a modulation source to create advanced rhythmic patterns. Behind the modulation panel is the arpeggiator, featuring an advanced pattern/sequencer. Furthermore there are 8 slots to set your own modulation connections in the modulation matrix (40 sources, 65 destinations). There are 2 free envelopes and 2 free LFO’s, which each have its own destination. Need to further shape the sound? The modulation options of Predator will not let you down. The filter section is also feature-rich, sporting a multi-mode filter with envelope controls and a dedicated LFO, and a second filter provides for even greater control of the sound. It’s actually a 3 operator FM synthesizer as well. You might be familiar with this principle in square wave pulse-width modulation, but Predator can actually apply this symmetry to any waveform, allowing you to dramatically change harmonics and formants of waveforms.įeatures like these make Predator an incredible versatile subtractive synth. The oscillator sound sources have tons of waveforms to choose from (128 each, and you can even load your own) and include common parameters like PWM, sub and spread and the special symmetry (sym.) control, which allows you to shift a waveforms midpoint. Predator’s GUI may look tough, but it’s a breeze to work with. Taking a look at the GUI you’ll find pretty much everything on a single page: 3 oscillators, a filter section with a dedicated LFO, an amp section, various modulation options, an effect section and various preset options. Rob Papen’s idea for Predator was not only to create a powerful synth with plenty of options, but to make sure it would be fun and incredibly easy to use as well.Įasy of use starts with the interface. Comprehensive preset management, including preset variation controls and preset morphing.

#Rob papen albino 3 review update
Predator has been out for a while now, but it recently got a considerable update with version 1.5, improving the preset manager, arpeggiator, modulation options and much more. So how about Predator, a synthesizer more akin to Papen’s previous offerings, Albino and Blue. Rob Papen’s RG synth didn’t quite charm me as much as I had hoped for, mainly because of my expectations of it being something else than it turned out to be.
