Also there are two new tutorials, the first one is an introduction to Predator, wise to check because you might discover some things you never noticed before.

Predator is very user-friendly synthesizer, which the introduction video shows but it is also full of hidden gems. The second video is about the great Filter-2 modes called 'split'.
