Analog
This sets the amount of analog drifting, as in an old analog synthesizer.
The higher this amount, the more that Predator's oscillators will drift in pitch over time.
The setting is stored inside each preset.
Global tuning
This sets the global tuning of a preset. Default is 440Hz.
Note: this setting is stored inside each preset.
Over sampling mode
This sets the Predator s oscillators over-sampling mode.. You can select from 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x and up to
32x oversampling. The higher oversampling levels use more CPU but the sound produced is better and there
is less aliasing noise.
The settings you use depend on the type of sound you wish to make for Predator.
For lead sounds and sounds played in the higher keyboard region 8x and 16x is best.
If the sound is mostly played in the lower keyboard ranges (such as bass lines), the setting 2x or 4x is
usually good enough.
Have a listen to preset "Predator SyncLead" in the first bank and switch to a lower setting, you can hear the
changes the oversampling level has on the sound.
Tip: this is also a nice tool in case you are running out of CPU power. Set Predator to 1x as long as you work
on your song. The moment you are ready with the Predator track, freeze or record it by using 16x
oversampling.
Note: this function is not effective inside PredatorFX.
Over filtering
This is where you can set on or off an additional oversampling filter.
It reduces the very high frequencies of the oscillators, thus reducing aliasing noise. You may want to turn this
on or off depending on the sound that you are using.
Default setting is off. Note: this function is not effective inside PredatorFX.
