Yes! Any day an RP synth gets an update, it's a good day. I'm hoping vecto & maybe quad might get a similar tune-up as well.

Nice surprise, thank you...

It would have been nice if the YouTube video was uploaded to a high resolution as it's hard to see the knobs\labels etc..

(Note to self, update the Nektar remote mapping)

I wish they took the time to redo a better GUI, something that look professionnal, like their VST version, with the latest SDK, nice things can be done.

This was my very first RE and still one of the best Synths in Reason for me.
Great to see that the RP team is still working on it. Nice update :thumbs_up:

Fantastic update - thanks Rob & Richard.

A nice way to remind everyone about Predator too - it's been around for a while now, but still holds it's own as a great synth. Very powerful and versatile.

When I ditched the VST world, I really missed Albino, a silky smooth synth. Predator became my Albino replacement. It has a bit more of an aggressive sound, but does so much more.

Welcome news thank you! Drag and drop modulation will make programming so much easier! It was always such a pain before with those huge drop down menus.

Got a question. Anyone in here upgrade yet because I did and most of the sounds in the fx Unison 4 and 6 have a clicking or popping at sample begin. I turned up the attack to see if I could get rid of it but to no avail. Any answers????? I also noticed that a lot of the patches were hot. The patching particular I was using with the popping was Jo Mal Gladiator.

That patch does indeed clip here if I play several notes at max velocity (but then, most of Predator's patches do, it might be because VSTs have different standards regarding default levels), but I don't hear clicking or popping. It might be how your audio interface or your headphones react to the clipping? Have you tried lowering the volume below the clipping level and see if the clicking still occurs?

Yes I did and it was still popping. Low DSP and nothing else is popping. I leveled to sound through compression and still got the pop and clicking. I found a few others doing it but only in the new version of predator. Well I hope its not just me having that problem. I have tried everything from increasing the attack to turning it down to trying to figure out where the popping was coming from in frequency. I couldn't isolate there but we will see. Thanks for the response and hopefully I can find a solution.

Yes, I have the same problem, that with patches which use unison there is a popping and crackling noise. At first I thought this is an internal clipping in Predator, but lowering the oscillator volumen or the global volume doesn't seem to help. Now I think it has something to do with a dsp latency inside of Predator.

We all should write Rob Papen support an email about this problem.

Yes, I have the same opinion as you. I would pay aswell for a good gui update with changable displays and the look like Predator 2.0 VST.
I would prefer an paid update to Version 2.0 in comparison to a new Rob Papen synth.

You know I'm starting to think its the patches. I know for sure gladiator is one of them. I went back and deleted Predator and then re-installed. Everything sounds good but the few that do that popping and clicking.
