The M-Audio Venom 49-key synthesizer is
a 12-Voice
Virtual Analog Synthesizer from Avid it
combines the character of classic analog synths with modern digital processing
to deliver an aggressive, infectious new sound. Whet your appetite with the
included presets, and then sink your teeth into creating original sounds—from
atmospheric and subtle, to angry and downright nasty. Easily tweak parameters
from the intuitive top-panel interface, or explore endless sound design and
configuration possibilities with the included software editor. Perform bass
lines, leads, and more with a full-size keyboard designed to satisfy serious
players. You can even use Venom as an audio interface with Pro Tools and other
music software—forming a powerful production machine to take your music in
dangerous new directions.
The Instant Inspiration: Venom
comes fueled with 512 Single patches and 256 Multi-sound (layered) patches
created by a world-class sound design team—so you can start playing everything
from bombastic basses, blistering leads, and 8-bit drums to grainy pads,
menacing textures, and glitchy effects right out of the box. You'll also find a
classic arpeggiator for added animation. Tweak the sounds using the intuitive
top-panel performance controls—or dig in deep using the supplied software
editor.
A Killer New Sound you can't resists: Thanks to a completely new M-Audio synth engine, Venom merges analog flavor with digital power—providing a unique sonic signature that stands apart from the glossy sheen of other virtual analog synths. You get 41 oscillator waves and 53 drum sounds sampled from the most awesome vintage keyboards of the past four decades—complete with DSP-induced oscillator drift for a retro vibe. Each of the 12 simultaneous virtual analog voices features three oscillators, giving you tons of flexibility for octaves, intervals, and fat, detuned offsets. Venom even offers FM, sync, and dynamic wave-shaping on all waveform for unique hybrid sounds.
For even more sound-shaping possibilities, the Venom resonant
multimode filter features 12dB/octave (2-pole) and 24dB/octave (4-pole)
operation, with tube saturation limiting on the input for that classic
overdriven sound. Each voice also sports three LFOs with selectable
sample-and-hold to create evolving, rhythmic sounds—plus three AHDSR envelopes
for total control of your unique sound.
Go crazy with Multi-Control: Venom's Multi mode feature lets you trigger drum, bass, and melody parts simultaneously—perfect for performing live. Each part has a phrase sequencer for playing back drum patterns and pulsating synth lines, all BPM-synced via tap tempo. You can even switch melody and rhythm patterns on the fly—ideal for songwriting. With 256 separate patterns available across 256 Multi patches, you'll find plenty of rhythmic inspiration for a wide range of electronic music styles.
