VPS Avenger 2.4 [RELEASED - FAQ in OP]

[Hanz Meyzer]

Yes, thank you for releasing VPS Scope as a gift. I appreciate it. Cheers!

Certainly nice. Is it also natively running on ARM Macs?

EDIT: Yes, very nice, running natively on Mac. Thanks!

I see there is still a 50% discount. How is Avengers 2.2 these days on Mac? Avenger 1 had all kinds of annoying audio spikes which made it unusable and last time I checked, this was not fixed with Avenger 2 either.

Some people seem to run avenger ok, but it's completely unusable on my M1 mac studio in Logic. Here's avenger with its simple init preset loaded. Causes 100% CPU spikes every few seconds, even when no keys are pressed. Doesn't happen with any other synth out of the dozens I've got installed.

Hi, I have a question

How can I enable the tail in Avenger? When I use a midi pattern and hit the stop button in FL Stuio the preset delay and reverb stops, but I want to keep the tail. Any idea how to enable it?

You're saying the reverb and delay behave like they're gated when you stop the transport? Strange, I don't think that's supposed to happen, unless you're using a preset where they're being muted by an envelope follower or something. Are you using them as inserts or sends?

Well when I just press keys on my keyboard it has a tail reverb. The preset has a reverb and delay, It's just stop completly when I put a note in the piano roll whenever I put it as a pattern or track and press the stop button.

This is a special behaviour of FL Studio as they send an "All Notes off" message when you press stop or i.e. when you consolidate to audio after the selection end...

Avenger reacts to that message to cut everything off immediately what I already asked for years not to do that... other synths behave well with that message... it´s just Avenger doing that.

For you as a user it doesn´t make a difference... you have to live with it respectively you have to workaround...
For pressing the stop button, there is obviously no workaround (maybe a Midi plugin filtering out the "All Notes off" message) so there it´s I think easiest to just live with it...
For consolidating clips to audio you have to leave room as long as the tail lasts behind the last midi note ends by either make the clip longer or doing a time selection long enough for the tail...

There is no other way... it´s partly IL´s fault for sending this message on a simple stop... it´s a s well Avenger´s fault for reacting this extreme on this message as others as said behave well with this message send to them...

Are there really no other ways how to enable it?

nvm.. Right-click the folder containing your multisample files in Avenger's File Browser. found it lol

Can I do it with the avenger expansions as well?

[trusampler]

I don't believe so, but they're already in the correct format in terms of multisamples.I may be wrong though, I just don't find a way or need to since they already work correctly. I was referring to creating multisamples from scratch.

Hi folks!
I am editing in DRM SQ and wonder if its possible to shuffle only certain parts of the drums such as for example hihats? It looks like i can only do all the drumparts. Somebody know?

[msvs]

that not possible, but you can turn of the grid by holding alt or command

[epiphaneia]

Is there a way to browse all sounds of a certain kind across all expansions, ie. to see *all* basses instead of having to browse the basses inside each expansion?

I see there is still a 50% discount. How is Avengers 2.2 these days on Mac? Avenger 1 had all kinds of annoying audio spikes which made it unusable and last time I checked, this was not fixed with Avenger 2 either.

I´m running Avenger 2.31 just fine on my Mac, Logic Pro X at 44.1 kHz / 32 samples buffer. No CPU spikes in sight. But take that with a grain of salt, as I just upgraded my Mac from an i7 to an M4 Pro.

I just tested my system at 32 and the meter in logic basically stuck at 100% without hitting any keys. Crazy. Are you running on an external monitor? Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your logic audio settings?
