Thanks - I am seeing light et the end of the tunnel now, so many details, so many things to polish, so many things to describe, only a few more days.

Finally an expansion for an REFX/Vengeance product that isn't advertised so damned EDM-like. Each demo example is so unique and I can totally see these sounds used in a variety of genres! I love that in a preset bank!

Thanks for chiming in, Avenger is so versatile, wasting it for EDM seems just silly to me

, it's a soundscape-drone-pad-sequencer-organic instrument-sound FX-machine...

Improvising with the patch Cello Pad, some modwheel action.

Patch description from the PDF:

Re-synthesized/wave-tabled cello sound meets FFT synth, WT scanning speed, voice detune in OSC1, unison detune/vibrato speed in OSC2 are modulated via random LFO1, MB1 transposes OSC1 up an octave. Unipolar LFO2 modulates unison mix in OSC1 and spectral sweeping/vibrato amount in OSC2, M1/2 are individual volume controls for each oscillator. AT adds vibrato, MW adds FM in both oscillators, adds wave-shaper distortion in OSC1, introduces an octave (Voicing section) and shifts X-Mid in OSC2. M3 controls chorus FX mix (with modulated speed via LFO3), MB2 controls delay mix.

I just released my first library for Avenger:

Takeover for Vengeance Avenger

This sound library provides a broad palette of timbres suitable for a wide variety of musical styles:

*Monumental, epic, dramatic soundscapes with a cinematic flavor.
*Heartwarming, fragile, lush, elevating pads.
*Ethereal, fascinating and otherworldly textures.
*Dark and massive drones.
*Expressive lead synths and juicy bass sounds.
*Beautiful string instruments (guitars, plucked piano, cello derivatives).
*Bells and pluck sounds.
*Synthetic vocal textures.
*Epic brass swells (horns, trombones, sousaphone).
*Drum/percussion sounds for the drum sampler, dry and processed.
*Playful, edgy and minimal sequences.
*Evolving, rhythmical, often tempo-synced animations of timbre, amplitude and filters.

Specs:

* 103 patches (including 2 variations).
* 89 wavetables, also derived from the re-synthesis function in Avenger.
* 83 sample maps (multi-samples) and one-shots (44.1 Khz - 24 Bit), 1.8 GB (before lossless compression in Avenger).
* 23 single cycle waveforms (shapes).
* 2 drumkits
* Library size in total: 706.1 MB (688 MB download)
* All patches have the modulation wheel and the three Macros assigned, most also use Macro switches, many also use aftertouch.
* Comes in the native avenger format, easy import/installation.
* Delivery: donwload.
* Price: € 48 EUR

Patch categories (12 sub-folders):

Audio demos:

All demos below were produced entirely with Avenger using only patches from Takeover, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of Avenger were used in a track.

Thanks for reading

Just to say, it's hard to make a comment: it's another great lesson in sound design.
Dear Simon, if I had to describe your influence on me, (taste, skills, ruthlessness...) I'd surely say "He's a door opener!".
I simply dive into the patches of Take Over I just downloaded and from the first second I start to understand, see, imagine, take inspiration, and a lot more... A synth that (maybe?) was born for Techno guys (or similar) sounds now like a platform for the open space and beyond.
THANK YOU!!

Great Job Simon, I am really enjoying this, really shows off what Avenger can do when in the right hands!

This post totally makes my evening, I'm half dead from the exponential working curve towards the release but reading this fills me with joy

Thanks man, I sure dived into this synth as deep as I could, ignoring only the DRUM SQ, once they add a proper pattern player like e.g. in Tremor, I might begin to use it.

Some patches were complaining that they hadn't been featured in a demo, so here comes one last track for this library:

Has Takeover already been handed over to the people who pre-ordered?

This set deserves another weekend bump.
