Serums And Rapids And Falcons Oh My!!! (Avenger And Icarus)

[Robmobius]

I've only just begun to dig into Avenger and I'm glad I bought it.

IMO, Avenger is one of the easiest and most fun synths to program that I've ever come across. So much functionality crammed into a very slick and intuitive user interface.

Serum and Icarus are great (and easy) to use as well, but Avenger really nailed it here I think.

As far as ease of programming and options, yeah. It's almost too easy.

Still, that sequencer. Ouch!

Yep, that's very true, the sequencer needs a bit of tweaking alright... But it looks like Manuel is listening to user feedback so hopefully it won't be too long.

The Arp is really cool. Although, I can't seem to figure out how to make individual notes move up one semi-tone for the life of me, like you can in Tone2 Synths.

I think the FX are pretty good too.

I find Falcon a bit of a chore, but it's definitely one of the best synths around.

Yea I think for the most part what you said is right. And to think you are worrying about guitars....

[wagtunes]

Thanks. But you know what? I don't give a crap anymore. I've accepted this place for what it is, finally. Maybe if I laugh along with them they'll get bored and go find somebody else to rag on.

Just for the record: I've spent hours to help you.

Today I learned that only three of them would have been enough to me make successful in 2017.

So I guess that kind of gives you the right to throw insults at me. Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking?

I am sooooo sorry.

Please accept my apology.

You have no clue what it feels like once I start to insult you.

So don't misunderstand my friendly(!) comments which are always aiming to support you (in this or another way).

Yeah, cause being ADHD is such a kick. Like I go walking down the street and seeing some kid skitzing out and think to myself, "Hari Krishna man, I gotta get me some of that."

And if you noticed, I took it all in good fun adding that I was OCD as well, or did you miss that.

Hey, you know what, if this is your idea of showing somebody support, that's cool. Like my friends who used to call me spazzy Waggy. All in good fun.

Like I said, you can say or do anything you want as far as I'm concerned. I just let it all roll off my back now. Oh, and like the one poster said, I wasn't the one who reported you. It wasn't even worth the effort to click the report button.

As for what the only 3 were that you were talking about, I'd guess Falcon, Serum and Avenger, but I could be wrong.

I usually am.

And NOW it's a party.

Nice list, I only own Serum and out all the wavetables I've used I actually like it for it's simplicity.

Seeing how my DAW (Bitwig) is more like a instrument in it's own right, I feel serum fits into bitwigs modular environment in a incredibly versatile manner. It might not have a staggering amount of features compared to the others on the list, but for it does I think it provides a super fast workflow when used in conjuction with something like Bitwig or Ableton live. The wavetable editor is actually pretty powerful and overall Serum seems to have a nice balance between CPU use and quality on my 2011 MBP.

I've never really had a Go-to synthesizer that I keep going back to, but whenever I need a wavetable sound I go to Serum over everything else.

With all that said the only one out of that list you posted that I'm interested in trying, would be Avenger. I'm getting into darker D'n'B music again and I think both Serum and Avenger are beasts, and I want to see how they compare to each other in a more detailed analysis.

I just let it all roll off my back now.

That's the core of the problem.

Appreciate hints. You'll enjoy them, eventually.

*peace*

Reading all this just makes me wish there was a Zebra 3. Someday, someday.

If I can figure them out.

I could go for that.

Go to the numbers at the bottom click and go up or down, also volume for each step drag the bars from the top.

Ah, that's brill mate!! Hah... I was doing it totally wrong. Go my humungous brain...

Thanks for taking the time to do that, much appreciated!

ADHD ...

reported

[edit: I had to make it public, otherwise I'm pretty sure people would assume it was wagtunes, and would start dogpiling him, again]

I didn't assume it was wagtunes and I read your report.

elassi, any condition including ADHD should not be made light as in this situation, so please no more.

[shonoob]

Man... now I wish even more that I could try Falcon . It's such a hefty price, I wish they had a demo.

[sacer]

a tutorial how to rebuild sounds from avenger in falcon would be nice, I also haven't scratched the surface of falcon, but together with vintage fault there are endless options in sample manipulation. Best effects like thorus and spark reverb, hope they also integrate relayer.
Instead of avenger i bought rapid, because of the easy workflow. I would prefer to rebuild some avenger patches in falcon and don't want to buy one more synth.

How come you left out Spire?

[sacer]

How come you left out Spire?

or dune2, synthmaster and mpower synth, there are so many similiar synths, thats why i don't know if i need avenger
