Should i bother to demo Predator or it won't bring me anything that is not covered by my current synths? Or probably i'm to look into Massive instead?

Predator and Sylenth to me sit in the same kind of space. They are both unique sure and I like both of them (I have Predator RE not the vst) and I use Sylenth a lot more.

IMO the only upgrade to this list of fine instruments would be Diva.

Demoed Diva and definitely understood why it's loved so well but decided to pass until i upgrade my system (which is going to happen sooner or later anyway).

+1. Looks very innocent, but looks are deceiving...

I've used both the VST and RE of Predator. I tend to lean towards the RE, since the latest version has a 40% reduction in memory use and I find working in Reason more pleasurable than Reaper. Also, Papen has a preset program that will convert any VST patches to RE format for free (assuming you have the VST patches). If you tend to work inside Reason and use its strengths (modular routing, CV, etc) then the RE makes complete sense. If you tend to work in Live or Logic or whatever else DAW and just use Reason as a sound source, then the VST might make more sense.

I've the vsti predator, I love and I've still use it a little, even after having it 3 yrs or so...
My current track uses it for 1 sound and another tune I'm working on again uses it for 1 sound on the track ...

Interesting price for Predator RE now, only $69

Not much more than I paid for the Predator VST player version

Hm, if Antidote was available for that price, i'd probably check it out. Not too interested in Predator tbh. What that has to do with this thread? Not much. Thought i'd post it anyway.

Wow - that's a steal for $69. Essentially you're paying for over 4000+ high quality patch library from a variety of Papen's collaborators, aside from himself. If I didn't already own Predator RE, I'd jump all over that price.

Let's talk Predator
