VPS Avenger 2.4 [RELEASED - FAQ in OP]

[Teksonik]

Working on some presets to upload and I notice that no * appears when a patch is edited. I can't find any visual feedback as to whether or not a patch has been edited. Sometimes when I play a patch for awhile I can't remember if I edited it or not.

Of course all I have to do is re-save the patch just to be safe but that can get to be a little tedious after awhile.

So is the lack of a visual clue intended behavior or is this a bug or am I missing something? If it's a bug I can report it to Rene. If it's intended behavior then I'd make a feature request for a * or some other visual clue when a patch has been edited.

On another note regarding patches, If I load one of my patches, edit it to the point where I give it another name, edit the new patch even further and go to save that patch again it wants to save under the old patch's name:

AV2 121023-1.png

In the image above I started with SP Vamping, edited it then saved it as SY Cosmosis, edited it further then went to save Cosmosis again. You can see that it wants to save to Vamping again.

All we have to do is pay attention and it shouldn't be a problem but again I don't know if this is intended behavior, or user error on my part. Seems like it could be easy to overwrite a patch that way or maybe it's just a visual thing.

Ok back to making more patches. Avenger 2 really is a ton of fun to patch..

How big is the avenger 2 update? I don't need the guitars and drum loops.

The new additional factory library is 2.6gb. The original library is 6.1gb for comparison.

Ok thanks for this

Is it possible to skip the drum loops and guitar stuff , with the download ?

Download files are not that big, afaik you can't skip, it's not wav samples or something similar

Under what circumstances/use-cases would one be better off not upgrading to Avenger 2 (other than affordability)?

When you want to spend less money on things.

Thanks. I updated my post to be more specific.

I never spend so much time on and never had so much fun with a delay like with the Q4antum delay, it's simply awesome

Maybe if you need a custom NKS library or something with extensive parameter modulation to continue working the same way. I’m not entirely sure that would carry over but I saw someone on a different forum mention an issue with their parameter mapping, so I’m extrapolating.

Aside from that it’s a different kind of v2 upgrade. It’s not a situation where all the parameters are in different places and old patches don’t load. It’s more like how some hardware synths do software upgrades and you get new menus with new features.
