Rob Papen has recently uploaded a screenshot of the Rack Extension version of Predator. There's no further information about the RE at the moment although it does say that it will be available soon.
As far as I know there is no word on the pricing, but the VST version of predator is going for €149 so I suspect it will be about €99 for the RE version (Obviously this is a pure guess, I could be completely off the mark).
Anyway, I recently had the chance to play around with the VST version and I was really impressed. The thing sounds phenomenal, I can't wait to get it in my Reason rack and have a good mess around with it.
If these images (above) are of the final UI then it's missing the shiny knobs and buttons from the VST version (pictured below). But that could just be because of limitations of the Rack Extension technology and really, who cares what the thing looks like. At the end of the day, it's the sound and functionality that really matters and by the looks of the audio and CV routing options on the back, we could be onto a winner. Audio input for the filter section, vocoder and FX section is a clear bonus.
It's safe to say that Predator is going to have a home in my Reason rack.
UPDATE:
I've updated this post with a second picture of the back pannel of the Predator RE.
