Still I think it's better to sort those things out in personal conversation then here on KVR. Let's focus back to the subject?

This kind of discussion turns out to be unhealthy!
I bought Avenger on the first day of the sale, I have 4 expansions, but the Avenger does not handle well with the CPU consumption, this really is improved ... mainly in the MacBooks, the coolers are run for no apparent reason and there are spikes of processing consumption . I was recommended to start contacting the developer who never answered me. But overall I really like Synth Avenger. I hope one day the problem is corrected. Finally I would like to know if the other products have the same license? I bought some products like Phalanx, but I abandoned the USB dongle.

I agree. We don't care.

I explained above the issue with mbp: Avenger stresses the Graphics card the same way a game does. The cooling is common for the CPU and the GPU so as soon as the passive cooler is heating above a threshold, the fans kick in. Probably if they implement gui rendering using Apple Metal2 (I don’t have a clue if is possible) things will be more graphics-friendly.

Sircuit, I think it's ok to post it hear so users can confirm or not, but it's best to send it directly to VPS themselves so that they can make a ticket for it and examine the case.

I have an entire folder of sent crash reports since old days (first 1.x versions). What I posted above is a known fact, I don’t think is necessary to email Rene for each update that this specific mac issue still exists. There were other issues that were solved and others that were solved many versions later and there is this one that still persists. As for other users confirmation, there are gpu load screenshots posted somewhere in this thread. Compared with old Vengeance produtcts, Avenger god a huge number of updates which point me to believe that they really want to improve the synth and they like their work and they’re proud of it. Pointing out still existing issues is a part of the fun

Also, other users at least know what the issue is and how that can be mitigated: hence I resize to 50% all the instances that don’t need tweaking (in working projects) and make the sound design with screen set to lowest resolution.

Manuel are you going to make a video to show the new features of the new update. Also a visual for the filters would be nice to see how they are all different

Yes, i also have been looking for more info about these filters.
Is there an overview or short description somewhere?

a visual of the filters is difficult. We can not display the "real" signal flow on this location. So it would be a fake graphic.
What exactly do you not understand? The filters are sorted into categories like

lowpass, highpass, band, notch all in different db and the special folder.
In special there is comb, talkbox (bandpasses), FM/Crusher etc.

nothing much interesting to display and self explaining imho? Do you guys really need a line with a falling down point (lowpass)?

msvs · Post by **msvs** » Thu Nov 02, 2017 7:33 am

another requested feature for 1.2.6

Yes, as for me, I'm not as skilled sound designer as you, Manuel .
This is very technical stuff and a good explanation is needed. (also in terms of promo)
I think you just need a good addition to the manual.
I once owned an emu and they have a very large and explained manual. Almost a course. Hehe
The manual is already very good but needs update and additions.
Maybe use the info from wiki or a technical site?

Hi Manuel,

Any plans on an expansion covering Tech House and Deep House? It's touched on in the factory presets but more in depth expansions would be very welcomed by me. ...so, there's one sold...totally worth all the effort

Vengeance Producer Suite - AVENGER - 1.8.5 the main thread
