VPS Avenger 2.4 [RELEASED - FAQ in OP]

[dionenoid]

Reading all the bugs and issues (here and on the FB group) i guess i will wait with updating.

[zvenx]

What bugs?
I see issues not bugs (though it did crash on me three times and I sent them the crash logs).

After a couple of hourse testing and playing;

issues;

-multiple crashes when adding random fx to the send rack
-random crashes with vst2 and vst3 variants in multiple DAW's
-'random square' and 'random tri' are broken in the LFO section when using 'host' (prob. a FL Studio issue, although the fixed buffer size options didn't fix it unfort.)
-sudden FPS drops and high CPU usage when (randomly) viewing the 'spectral section' (Windows 11, x64). Seems random and building after time, almost like a memory leak
-error message in the routing screen of the Trig section
-when loading up an fx type, one needs first to move the gain knob of that particular
fx type in order to get it activated

Ahh.. these bugs.

^It's the same at PIB and VS. May wait for Thomann response.

Weird issue in Ableton.

When I resize the window using the handle it acts like a zoom inside the window. ie. It seems to resize the plugin but not the window containing the plugin.

Closing the plugin window and reopening it solves the problem so it's not a big deal.

Is there no demo video for Avenger Expansion pack: Generative 1?
I see a Samples menu but no Expansions menu. Are they the same?

So, I too have now updated as promised. First impressions are very positive in terms of the added features. Mirko's reverb is absolutely gorgeous and the QuantumFX delay thing is ridiculously powerful. Dare I say that this is now the synth (software or hardware) that has by far the best reverb and delay?

I haven't gotten much sound design done as I got so distracted by the awesome new delay and reverb that I just sat and played for a few hours!

Here is a preset that I created with Avenger2 and then sat and just played it all evening.

The only bug I noticed on my Mac Mini M1 (still on Big Sur here and running the VST3 version in Reaper) was the constant screen freeze when letting go of any parameter that you've just tweaked. Literally every time you touch a virtual knob or parameter and let go of the mouse button, the interface of Avenger2 freezes for a split second. Very annoying but not catastrophic. Didn't have any crashes though.

What’s the spectral stuff like? Fun? Does it do polyphonic aftertouch or MPE?

Would not buy through pluginboutique, the registration would be very complicated

you get a serial number and enter it at the VPS site. What is difficult?

Yeah, I see now. Not difficult indeed.
I think I will buy it at pluginboutique, I just found out that I bought it there, but can not remember how I registered it. Recently I had trouble to register a plugin I bought there, but it was not an Vengeance product. The installation instructions are sometimes confusing for me (mostly dev is to blame, though).
I apologize.

After installation I have only the new version, the old version 1.85 is gone?
Is there a way to select the skin of 1.85 with
some orange colour instead of blue?
When you select a preset and after it's loaded there's about 2 seconds of silence when you start playing.
Macros don't work properly soundwise in realtime when you move macro knobs with a controller, there are crackles, but when I close gui and play it works without crackles. Daw: reaper
The addition of real drums is very cool!

I would still like tohave my old version. Solved it. Dev gave the new plugin files the same name, that's not good, but not a disaster. Just rename the plugin file names in plugin folder, for instance add V1 and V2 (dll and vst3 files)

[ATS]

Is there different skins we can choose from? I think this is a good feature to have nowadays.
