The Oscillator Route panel sets the course of the currently selected oscillator's output signal, passing it through your choice of the potentially many active filters, amps, pitch envelopes, arpeggiators, trancegates, effects racks, etc all the way to final output block. One oscillator could supply a bassline, while the next two blast out a lead, the next three a pad. Rather than simply merging the oscillators into a composite tone in the mixer, as other synths do, Avenger treats each one as a wholly discrete sound source, to be triggered and mixed with others in the traditional way if desired, or sent off down its own path as the basis of a self-contained and separately sequenced 'instrument'. It's just a shame each channel can only load samples, not synth oscillators - although we're told this is planned for an update. Each drum also has its own Route panel, for routing through the Shaper, Step Sequencer, Effects and Master Filter sections, but not the 'insert' Filter or Amp.Īvenger's Drum module is great fun and a worthy inclusion. Additionally, the triggering can be offset in either direction, for effortless 'smearing' of claps and snares - a welcome feature that's all too rare in drum machines. Adjustable parameters include Volume, Pitch, Pan and Spike, the last for boosting transients (and also included in Avenger's main Amp module). Velocity can also be edited by dragging the stalks under each note, and rolls of up to eight hits can be specified for individual notes.Ĭlicking a waveform reveals that sample and its editing controls in the main Editor.
Click notes in with the pencil tool, select them with the marquee tool and adjust the Velocity, Pan, Pitch and Gate time of the selected notes using the so-named knobs. The Drum Sequencer is simple but effective. The kit can be played by the Drum Sequencer when a MIDI note is received, or unhooked from the Sequencer for triggering via a keyboard or pads.
VENGEANCE AVENGER SYNTH PLUGIN FULL
The preset drum library contains over 160 full kits, each with an accompanying sequence, although kits and patterns are mix-and-matchable, too, and you can drag your own samples in. As well as those, Avenger also features a full-on drum machine section. At the very bottom of the interface sit the usual virtual keyboard/ wavetable view, and five freely assignable Macro knobs and buttons.Īs with any synth, the action starts in Avenger's Oscillator section, where up to eight - yes, eight - source signal generators are loaded. On the left are the file browser and Effects section in the middle are the Oscillator section and a tabbed page containing various editors, sequencers and modulation controls and on the right are the Filter, Amp and Shaper sections, and the Modulation Matrix. New AvengerĪvenger's vector-based and resizable GUI is unfussy in its layout. VPS Avenger (VST/AU/AAX), on paper at least, is every inch the 'power synth', then, but let's see how it fares in practice. Coded - like all its stablemates - by Keilwerth Audio, it unites analogue, sample-based and wavetable synthesis in an immense workstation-style architecture, packed with sequencers, filters, effects and modulation.
