A unique synthesizer that combines ease of use with deep sound design
Predator 3 is the latest version of the ""Predator"" series of synthesizers that have influenced many artists and composers for many years and appear in countless music tracks. As always, it combines a vast library of over 6,500 high-quality presets with cutting-edge features to make it the perfect synthesizer for any type of modern music production.
It features new features such as an interactive and intuitive user interface, an arpeggiator, multi-envelope, and an ""Audio Follower input"" for side chaining. In addition, it follows the analog modeling of the company's analog modeling synthesizer ""B.I.T."", achieving uncompromising sound quality with analog sounds and hybrid wavetable sounds.
