Mac M1 Mini, Big Sur, Reaper latest version.. using VST3 version of Avenger.

It's not completely breaking the plugin but it makes it super annoying to work with.

Don't have that on Sonoma. (M2 pro).

Yeah it's weird. This is the only synth that does it. What's even weirder is that it happens only when the mouse button is released. While mouse button is held down, there is no freeze nor tiny audio click.. only when releasing the mouse button.

This definitely gives me pause regarding purchasing, since I'm also on an M1 Mini, not Pro or Max or M2-3. Please post an update if a future release fixes this issue for you.

I'll try to send a report to support and hope it gets fixed.

This question has probably been answered many times already, but will the sale price on the upgrade extend into yule/christmas?
Trying to set money aside, but there is not that much to go on.

Haha, duly noted.
Note to self: Don't be daft and post after too many alc. units. Yule again.

Hi, I uninstalled Avenger 2.0.5 and installed 1.8.6 instead. I got "no license found" message every time I try to load the plugin and clicking "activate online" doesn't solve the problem. Also, I can't see Avenger 1 on my product list any more after upgrading (online account) - how can I make it work?

got the same question, nobody replied sadly.... maybe we need to write support directly. i smell it isnt possible once upgraded, thats why i didnt upgrade yet. i dont like it to be forced to use a new version and not be able to have the old version (possibiliy).

Exploring the spectral oscillator introduced in Avenger 2 using a custom sound texture I made with Kaleidoscope. Beware of atonal dissonance!

Hey Guys - As there is no demo for Avenger, if someone who has it could answer these questions - that would be much appreciated:

- is the load time fast?
- does it feel snappy to use (e.g. interface not laggy, preset loading fast)?
- is the install size/file amount reasonable (not loads of GB, not thousands of files, not bloated)?
- does the interface scale well - no tiny fonts at 4K?

Many thanks

There's a wide range of answers to that and Avenger seems to work highly different on different machines. Without actually testing it on your system, I'd not buy into it. Back when there was a demo, it saved me from buying it because the answer to your questions would have been no.

Hi, I purchased Avenger 2 upgrade today and installed it on my older Windows laptop (which previously ran Avenger 1) and I found that the new GUI consumes much more CPU and GPU resources comparing to version 1.8.6. Can we expect further GUI optimizations soon? I don't want Avenger 2 to kill my motherboard The video below shows performance details:

I will say I find the new GUI’s animations to be very pleasant to look at.

I didn't even notice that - I was more focused on the sound
