Predator 1.6.4 released
By Jon Chappell |
With Predator 1.6.4 the best just got a whole lot better — and bigger! First and foremost, studio-based producers and musicians maximising ‘screen estate’ to speed up DAW workflow will appreciate the new Big Screen graphic mode which increases the original Predator GUI by 150\\%. 
Of course, sound is where the art is, and, given its pedigree, Predator 1.6.4 does not disappoint with over 450 new presets!
Rob Papen himself is in the fortuitous position of being personally in contact with many of the world’s top producers and musicians who regularly use his company’s products and so can quickly act upon providing requested sounds and features to comfortably remain on the cutting edge of contemporary music production with Predator.
For example, a visit to the Rob Papen HQ by Headhunterz (a.k.a. Dutch hardstyle DJ/producer Willem Rebergen) — recently ranked 11th in DJ Magazine’s annual Top 100 DJs poll — resulted in the aforesaid dedicated HardStyle BD Basses sound bank and also a new distortion effect within Predator 1.6.4 — proof positive of the soft synth’s versatility.Additionally, Dutch DJ Rob Fabrie (a.k.a. DJ Headbanger, TheAlienator, Gizeh, and Waxweazle) contributed the new Hardstyle Core BD Basses RF sound bank to Predator 1.6.4 while JoMal has also added his own artist bank of distinctive sounds to the update.
