RPPredator 1.6.4

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.

RPFor 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.

Listen to these short MP3 of the new sounds:

Rob Papen "The 4 Element Synth"

Available at student pricing for everybody and two bonus videos uploaded!


Rob Papen has decided to make the book/DVD set available to everybody at student pricing. After all, anyone who wants to know what all those knobs and sliders on their favourite analogue synth actually do is a student of subtractive synthesis!

Remember that when Rob started to play his first synth at the end of the ’70s he had to learn the hard way... reading (and rereading) the Korg MS-20 manual from cover to cover. Had a well-written book about synthesis existed at that time then it would have helped Rob enormously in his quest for new sounds! Of course, the Korg MS-20 had no presets so Rob had to create sounds from scratch each and every time he wanted to play.

Over time that became easier, but you can benefit from all his blood, sweat, and tears. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this well-written book that's as easy on the eye as it is to understand, together with more than 10 hours of entertaining and educational DVD material.

As well as watching additional online video content to supplement the book, other good news is that readers can download the demonstrative Predator presets used by Rob on the DVDs.
