Stereo Widener
This effect widens the stereo sound.
Widen
Stereo wid
ening amount.
Width
Maximum change to the stereo widening amount.
Speed
Speed at which the stereo widening amount changes.
LP Filter
Low pass filter frequency.
HP Filter
High pass filter frequency.
AutoPan
Autopan pans the sound between the left and righ
t speakers.
Amount
Amount the autopan moves the sound in the stereo field.
Speed
The rate at which the autopan moves the sound.
This is Tempo based so for example 1/1
does mean that the pan moves from left to right within 1bar.
Note: for maximal effec
t you also need to open the Fx Mix
control knob fully right (wet).
Gator
The gator uses a 16 step sequencer to alter the volume of the sound to give a trancegate type effect.
Basically it is a sequencer controlled audio gate.
Speed
The speed of the ga
tor. Speed is time based from 16/1 up to 1/32T speed. If for example the
speed is set to 1/1 each step is 1/16 note. If for example the speed is set to 2/1 then each step
is 1/8 of a note.
Smooth
How much the volume changes are smoothed out. This helps to
avoid clicks.
Mode
Whether the gator affects the left & right channels, the left channel only or the right channel
only or both.
Sync
Turns on / off the host syncing. For example if you do not hear the gator FX in standalone
host, then switch to
off
. In
side a host sequencer program the best setting is
auto
or
sync
. The
default setting in most presets is
auto.
So if you have problems with these settings,
try
off
.
Left
Left channel sequencer. Clicking here turns on / off that step in the gator. When a st
ep is on
(light colour) the gate is open and you can hear the audio. When a step is off (dark colour) the
audio is muted.
Right
Right channel sequencer. Clicking here turns on / off that step in the gator. When a step is on
(light colour) the gate is open
and you can hear the audio. When a step is off (dark colour) the
audio is muted.
Swing
Adds swing to the timing of Gator
Note: FX
Mix
sets how much of the Gator FX is added. With the Gator FX it is wise to fully open the
Mix
control knob (wet).
Vocoder
Predator features a 32 band vocoder. The vocoder can use either samples or sound (input) that is fed into
Predator. The vocoder fx means that the sound of the sample or input, will be altered by the sound of
Predator and the vocoder fx. So for example if you use a speech (sample or input) it can create a classic
robot "vocoder " effect.
The base sound of a vocoder is the "carrier". This can be Predator s synth sound, but also the input itself. If
you use the Predator synth as "carrier" you can produce a p
olyphonic vocoder sound. For instance you can
take a drumloop and play this vocoder
-wise in a polyphonic way, and the drum loops will alter Predator s
output.
Listen to preset "voco
-
drummer" in the first preset bank. There are more vocoder example presets included
that show how to use the vocoder.
Keep in mind that if you change the sound of the "carrier" (which can be Predator s own synth sound), that
the vocoder sound overall will change too.
The modulator is the sample or input. So this audio signal is
used by the vocoder to alter Predator s output.
