Panopticon for Avenger released on patchpool

[Sampleconstruct]

Video demo for a wavetable preset from Panopticon, some Macro, aftertouch and modulation wheel action, 100% Avenger.

Patch description:

Spectral Cello
Dual WT synth using modified WTs extracted from a cello sustain playing in opposite direction in OSC1/2 (each routed to it’s dedicated amplifier, panned L-R 51%), re-triggering LOF1 modulates vibrato amount which makes for some nice, unpredictable pitch quirks. MW increases WT scanning speed, VEL decreases attack time, 
AT increases unison detune. M1 introduces tempo-synced, re-triggering formant modulation via MODENV1, M2 adds tempo-synced, re-triggering SYNC-modulation via MODENV2. M3 controls convolution reverb mix , MB1 engages delay FX, MB2 increases release time.

I just released this:



Panopticon for Avenger
Painting with sound on sonic canvas using broad and delicate brushes, creating an exhibition of sculpted sound around a musical well, Panopticon is a collection of expressive, evocative, soothing, playful, dark, exciting, often cinematic patches, also focussing on the granular capabilities of the hybrid monster named Avenger.

The patches in Panopticon make use of re-synthesized/wave-tabled vocal, instrumental and electronic tones, processed field recordings, multi-sampled acoustic instruments like electric/acoustic guitar, soprano saxophone, accordion, singing bowls (also bowed), crystal bowls, wavetable-based drones, pads, sequencers and synths, granular/multi-sampled soundscapes, re-synthesized/wave-tabled hardware synths and more. Quite a few patches utilize the new cross-FM feature introduced in Avenger version 1.3, which allows for frequency modulation (FM) between oscillators.

There is some overlap in the content folders for granular and sampling sources as Avenger converts a given sample/multi-sample either as a sampling source or as a granular source.

You can view/download the PDF for this set including the licence agreement, more info and a detalled patchlist here.

Specs:

• *106 tagged patches (including 4 variations).
  *2+ GB (before lossless compression in Avenger) of original content (samples, granular sources, wavetables, shapes).
  *113 granular sources.
  *31 sample maps (multi-samples) and one-shots plus some samples embedded in the patches themselves.
  *41 wavetables.
  *16 single cycle waveforms (shapes).
  *Library size installed: 1.26 GB (1.26 GB download)
  *All patches have the modulation wheel, the three Macros and both Macro buttons assigned, many also use aftertouch and velocity to expressively shape the sound.
  *Comes in the native avenger format, easy import/installation.
  *Delivery: download.
  *Price: € 52 EUR.

Patch categories (12 sub-folders):

• *Bass - 3
  *Bells - Bowls - 11 (including 1 variation)

All demos below were produced entirely with Avenger using only patches from Panopticon, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of Avenger were used in a track.

As quite a few folks asked, concerning the upgrade to the new Avenger bundle for users who have a license for my first Avenger library Takeover:
Please contact me via patchpool, then I'll check what a given user paid for Takeover and deduct that from the bundle price.

Bumping Panopticon for the new week.

I finally succeed to obtain the money to buy you this amazing soundset !
I've just done the paypal buying.
I'm quietly waiting for your mail
(i'm the email with "inusable" in it)

Oops, double post, sorry

I'm recording in the studio with a 7-piece band at the moment, so it took a little while.
Please enjoy the sounds!

No problemo

I've installed the soundset and trying this beautiful thing right now.

In fact I've been using quite a few of these patches during a studio recording over the last two days, 7-piece band, live gig on Saturday, live stream here: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/079676-00 ... -03-02-18/

This library deserves another bump.

Improvising with the patch Crystal Bowl Mix Granular from Panopticon - some Macro/modulation wheel/aftertouch action, 100% Avenger.

Description:

Sample of a 2-minute long improvisation on eight differently sized crystal bowls played with a wooden beater, running in granular mode. Increase grain speed/ decrease grain size with Macro 1, modulate grain position with AT. MW randomizes grain pitch, adds pitch spread modulation via random-square LFO 1 and adds Multimod FX, M2 adds grain reverse and increases grain position randomization, M3 decreases key follow for pitch resulting in a microtonal tuning. MB1 switches on shaper-distortion, MB2 controls mix of convolution reverb/delay.

Just bought, some really lovely stuff in there, thanks v much.

A bit of take-it-or-leave-it feedback on the organisation of the thing. This is a subject I am super-boring about so you may well want to leave it more than take it, but my philosophy is always to integrate as much as possible with factory standards, so its easy to search all presets. Avenger's broad categories are too heavily skewed towards EDM so I get why you'd create a lot of your own, but IMO some of the changes aren't really necessary. Sequencer is just Arp, for example, so I've renamed that. Vocal Synth = voice. I've also amalgamated Drones, Textures and Soundscapes as to me they all belong together, but here I have put them into a different category from any of the factory ones, since there's nothing appropriate there. I've just put them all as Soundscapes. Finally I've just renamed Bells & Bowls as Bells. The good news is all this is dead easy to do in Windows explorer.

(oh and an FYI - I ordered on Chrome, but after PayPal I couldn't get back to the site with Chrome saying "too many redirects". No problem as I got the links my email very quickly, just something to maybe pass on to the website hoster or something).

Cheers!

As I just had to change my provider due to a several week-long hassle with spam bots and blocked websites, the URL in the PayPal buttons has to be adjusted, I'll fix that.

I like to get creative and descriptive in the naming of categories, all of my libraries have some special categories which might not conform with existing classifications, but as it is so easy to change the naming of a given category or merge some of them together, it's a non-issue I guess. Also the categories in the Avenger factory library (and the tagging) are so undefined and EDM-orientated, I would rather not adapt to that system. And for me, a sequencer is not an ARP, an ARP plays arpeggios or pitch sequences, a sequencer can be a lot of other things too. And a drone is a drone, not a soundscape...and so forth.
