Just released:
Let yourself be sucked into a spiraling maelstrom of colorful sounds, dive into the sonic possibilities of granular and spectral synthesis, Maelstrom for Avenger 2 will explore the new and established features of this hybrid synthesizer and deliver rich sounds, useful for ambient, cinematic and experimental music alike.
The patches in Maelstrom often make use of the new spectral oscillator introduced in Avenger 2, many sound use granular synthesis with crossfading key zones, wave-tabled vocal and instrumental tones are layered with electronic samples and audio-morphed textures resulting in a wealth of pads, drones, soundscapes, hybrid synths, tempo-synced sequences and playable instruments. Some patches utilize the cross-FM feature available in Avenger, the new Quantum FX module and other new effects are featured prominently.

All demos below were produced entirely with Avenger using only patches from Maelstrom, 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.
