Vengeance Avenger - First Impressions and Wishlist 2016-12-03T12:37:15+00:00 Hey guys, someone mentioned to create a thread for Avenger discussing how they like it so far and or feature suggestions, away from the mayhem of bug reports. I agree so decided to go ahead and create this thread. My initial impressions, after spending less than an hour with it, are that it has really solid and creative routing options as well as an impressive effect section. The possibilities for sound design are immense, but the workflow could be enhanced significantly. It is not so intuitive to use and immediate to create good sounds, like Rapid for instance. I was blown away immediately with Rapid and was making my own patches with joy and ease immediately. Avenger has a good sound, at times very good, but isn't a giant sweet spot like Rapid. The silver lining is of course Avenger has the potential to rival, and possibility exceed, Rapid with all its capabilities after getting past the sometimes frustrating workflow. To be honest, it's still far too early for me to say which one is better. It took over a month for Rapid to become my favorite synth but I have a feeling Avenger could likewise earn a top spot in my top five. I would have probably spent 10 or 20 hours with it already if the demo would have aloud saving presets, and maybe would have already bought it. The second I make a beautiful preset from init that I can't make with other synths, the synth is usually bought. Trouble is, it usually take a dozen or so hours to reach that point, but, it seems not being able to recall presets is quite the barrier to entry for me. Whether I decide to buy it or not really comes down to these things: 1. how great a sound it has 2. can those sounds be made with what I already have. 3. how easy it is to reach good sounds 4. its potential At this moment, I'm trying to decide if Rapid and Avenger has too much overlap. Sure they are both good synths but can I make all the sounds in Avenger with Rapid. So far it seems so, but I haven't even scratched the surface. Hands down it looses in intuitiveness and ease of use, but once that is overcome I'm sure it's potential will really shine through. I'm sure once more time has passed, its true value will become more apparent. Wishes: 1.Please, please right click to assign modulation destinations. The drag and drop is good too, but I think it is a little faster this way. More options with workflow is always a good thing. 2. A thousand mile overview of all the waves, wavetables, and other samples in an expanded browser, like Rapid for instance.

I wonder if a transient shaper like native instruments "transient master" could be an idea to implement to use in master channel, to tighten things up a bit more like drums, lead, bass etc.??

You can use the "spike" parameter for that.
