Ok, I just bought this and I think it sounds really good. This, along with my new M3 MacBook, is helping make going back “in the box” again very attractive.
He he- 250 FREE pre-sets with every $250 VST you buy
Avenger is a fine synth indeed, although I don’t thing V2 was such a big update for what they were charging (I paid it anyway…) I have had bigger/better updates for free on many of my VSTs
I’ve never used Avenger V1 and managed to get the full license to V2 for $133. I’m still in the honeymoon phase, but I’m liking how it sounds more than my other synth VSTs right now.
Avenger is amazing. I was a big user of version 1, and that continues to Avenger 2.
Avenger’s biggest strengths for me were being able to synthesize and shape any sound source or form of synthesis I like.
I multi-sampled my hardware synths into Avenger and Avenger lets me play, shape, and effect them in ways the hardware couldn’t.
For example, I can do so much more with the raw tone of my Moog Sub 37 inside of Avenger than I’m able to on the hardware, but I can still start with that fidelity and tone I love as a sound source. Avenger just takes it to the next level.
I’m really loving the new Q4antum effect, it’s so easy to get great textures and psy baselines out of.
The new loop engines are great, the drum loop mode keeps transients sharp, even at really slow speeds where they would normally just get smudged.
I’m still just scratching the surface of version 2, but I’m really excited to get deeper into the spectral synthesis engine. It’s very smooth compared to granular.
