Attack shape
This changes the curvature of all Predator's envelope Attack stage. From Exponential (negative values) to
linear (0) to Logarithmic (positive values). Default is linear (0).
Note: this setting
is saved inside each preset, so always check this if you build a new preset.
Decay / Release shape
This changes the curvature of all Predator's envelope Decay/Release stages. From exponential (negative
values) to linear (0) to logarithmic (positive values
). Default is exponential (
-
20%), which is good for most
synth sounds.
Tip: for Pad sounds 0% is an excellent setting.
Note: this setting is saved inside each preset, so always check this if you build a new preset.
Velocity shape
Changes Predator's veloci
ty curvature response to the keyboard input or host input. From exponential
(negative values) to linear (0) to logarithmic (positive values). Default is linear (0)
Note: many keyboards already have a built
-
in velocity curvature response setting. So the de
fault of 0 is
probably the best to use. This setting is also saved inside each preset.
Strum
In chord mode, you can set timing offset between the play chord notes, so creating strum effects. The sync
button allows you to set this timing in ms or in quart
er beats, synced to the host's tempo.
Filter Pan
This allows you to pan Filter 1 and Filter 2, when your using the 2nd Filter's Split modes. At 0% both filters
are
centered
, and at 100% Filter 1 is panned left and Filter 2 is panned right.
Default setti
ng is 50%, so if you switch a current preset to "split 1" or "split 2" the setting is 50%.
Audio input (PredatorFX only)
Audio input volume
If you use the PredatorFX in your host, you can adjust the input volume here. There are dedicated preset
banks f
or the PredatorFX with examples of how you can use PredatorFX.
FX path
If you are using PredatorFX in your host mixer you can amend the routing here.
You have two options:
> Filter
The sound that s fed to PredatorFX goes into the Predator s filter and then into the fx s. Here you
can use midi input into the FX to control the volume, filter & free envelopes of PredatorFX.
To use the volume envelope you need to have
Amp Env Hold
set to off.
> FX
Here the sound goes directly into PredatorFX s effec
ts, however the synth part is still running and
can be used as a source for the vocoder or for controlling the FX parameters.
There are dedicated preset banks for the PredatorFX.
Amp env. Hold
If this function is set
on
the volume envelo
pe is turned off, so the volume of the amp is not changed by the
volume envelope.
If you still want to use the volume envelope, you ll need to have Amp Env Hold set to
off
,
and have some midi connection into PredatorFX. Now when you press a key the volume
envelope is reset
and so the volume of the input is changed.

If you change a parameter it displays the exact changing value and the parame
