It is surprisingly enjoyable. I have all major synth vsts, but for some reason Predator is the only one with the right amount of features to get quickly where you want to be without having too many options. Version 2 is a big improvement, as it now does wavetable synthesis, giving a wider Sonic Range.

if i had to learn synthesis again, It would be on this synth.
