VPS Avenger 2.4 [RELEASED - FAQ in OP]

[noiseboyuk]

grace periods again:
all who bought within the last 3 months are in the grace period and get the update for free.
All who bought between 3-6 months will get a free expansion

Very nice, will add to the OP.

That said, is it worth you starting a new thread now it's out, Manuel? This one was a pre-release info thread when info was hard to find for non-Facebookers, so it has sorta outlived its function.

I bought it, V Manager isn't working on my new Maccbook M3 Chip, just get this weird HTML error. Yay!

EDIT: Got into V Manager and my account is empty, even though it's showing online...

Mine behaved like that as well (M2 Ultrapro Mega) it's not a bug in the software but the connection with the Vengeance database.

OK this looks a really powerful plugin now - more than Current by the looks of it

Ok cool. So we just wait and hope they fix it. Really happy it's not a compatibility issue

After many attempts (Error 500) I was able to perform the upgrade and download Avenger 2. However, when I open the VST and enter my account, "no avenger licence activated in this account" appears, but that's not true. It was replaced and is shown in the Vengeance Account.

When licensing offline via the website, I always get a 403 (Forbidden) error.

The nasty thing is, of course, that the Avenger 1.8 has been replaced and you can no longer use your old projects until problems are fixed.

wont help sorry, but i learned NEVER update/upgrade the same day as release.

Feedback Synthesis: Feedback/string simulation synthesis - not many plugins offer that - very interesting

No MPE though? That's disappointing? I presume it at least supports poly aftertouch?

I had the same issue. Just click offline to use the keyfile method. It works immediately.

But I agree, overall the install of avenger 2 has been a bumpy ride. From the 500 to the factory presets not loading to that...
Fortunately it continues to sound great. New presets show the power...

Ok Avenger 2 is installed and authorized on two systems. All is working fine. It truly is an awesome synth.

Also, Kudos to Mikael Eidenberg on the new default GUI. His work adorns some of my other favorite synths and it is always admired.

I seem to remember noticing this in older versions and it's still present so perhaps it's intended behavior but unless I'm doing something wrong the Arps don't respect the key ranges on the Zones page.

Init a patch
Add a second Osc
Route only Osc 1 to Arp 1
On the Zones page set the Oscs to split at B1/C2 (Osc 1 up to B1 and Osc 2 from C2 on up)
Play a chord on the bottom of your keyboard and listen to the Arp pattern
Now play a note on the top of your keyboard.

The Arp pattern that your left hand is playing is "interrupted" or "broken" by the note playing with your right hand. (It's not a polyphony issue as it happens even at 64 and there is plenty of "headroom" in the poly)

The expected behavior would be that the Arp on the lower zone would not be affected by notes played in the upper zone.

I often like to have an Arp playing with my left hand while playing a lead with my right so I'm really hoping it's user error on my part.

Sheer genius! There is no other synth out there that competes with what Avenger offers. Of course, there are Phase Plant and Falcon, but these are a different variety of modular beasts and not in the same category. People complaining about the price should check out Q4NTUM Effects for a couple of hours, along with EVERYTHING ELSE - it is just MAGNIFICENT. On the upgrade price - given that it has 250 presents, which is the cost of two expansions and EVERYTHING ELSE - I don't understand what people are complaining about. Check it out first before you complain - and prepare to be grateful! Thanks again Manuel!

Hi Manuel / Vengeance Team

I am new here but just wanted to raise a bug with the Activation codes in hope you can look into this.

I have upgraded to 2.0 this morning and purchased another PICK 5 bundle later in the day. The upgrade went smoothly and synth works without any issues, however I think there's currently a problem with activating PICK 5 bundles for users who now updated to 2.0

When trying to use the license code via "Add new product" function, I'm getting an error:

"Opps something went wrong. You dont have the product VPS Avenger to use this Code"

Could you please have a look at this when you get a moment?

Thanks a lot

I wanted to purchase an upgrade. I was finally able to login to my account but I see the following:

Please contact Support for your Avenger 2 upgrade.
email: support@keilwerth-audio.com

I do not see a way to do it through the website.

[Caine123]

stupid question, what is the difference between the spectral OSC vs granular osc?
eg you can loop a sound without changing the pitch in both.

Seems like the Logic Pro CPU issues are still here.
