How about something like a scale lock/scale quantizer for the arp similar to the Kontakt Play Series. You can program the arp and lock to a certain key and scale.

Q: Does Avenger still use CodeMeter for copy protection?

Is it correct that the current licence model must also be reactivated every three months? I had to reactivate Avenger on Friday.

I use the RME Babyface pro FS at 256 buffer at 44.1 khz. Even 512 is creating the spikes. I can easily spot the spikes in the Bitwig performance graph.
Normally I can run projects with many vst instrument at 128 or 64 buffer without issues. I replaced the 3 instances of Avenger with Diva, Falcon, Rapid and Pigments, duplicated those tracks once more and all is good even at 128 buffer.
Macbook M1 pro 14 inch 10-core/16gb Ram/1tb ssd

No programs running in background and also tried with enabling flight mode. I also checked any startup items in OSX. Disabled Time maschine and also onedrive.
It looks like the spikes are more frequently when the track with Avenger is selected / monitoring. Also when having the Avenger
Plugin window open it seems a bit better.

Hope this can be sorted as Avenger is my main driver

Just chiming in to say I'm experiencing the same issues as you with Avenger, I"m getting massive CPU spikes in my projects and went through all my VSTs one by one and turns out Avenger is the culprit. This is on my M1 max 10-core in Ableton Live 11.1 Native.

It works great on my 9900K PC under Windows and my intel iMac, I load as many as I want and never have issues. I guess where the Apple silicon build is still fairly new, there's still some some further optimisations to be done which is a shame as I absolutely LOVE Avenger. Hope to see performance improvements for M1 in future updates

UPDATE - I saw a couple of mentions on Facebook where people said they were getting better performance from the VST2 version over the VST3, I've tried both and the CPU spikes still occur even when using 1 or 2 instances.

If avenger is delay so long, do you plan add a slicer earlier in the 1.x versions ?. slicer is very usefull for the chords play too

Any CPU opmisations? Avenger is very heavy on CPU.

Haven't verified it is three months but indeed, mine just asked me to verify.

Which now makes me wonder if this is really significantly better than when it used codemeter (yes I know some people hear "codemeter" and think if the boogeyman).
It sure isn't a return to the old keyfile which I don't recall ever having to renew every few weeks/months etc.

That's weird - I had the same thing!
I went in to V-Manager and clicked on "Download Keyfile" and now Avenger loads OK (ver 1.8.2 and definitely no codemeter).
I wonder if we still have to do this every 3 months?

PC just asked me to do the same.
Hmmm

Yep, I had to re-download my licence. A bit annoying but seemed to work again.
