Sound Design and Preset Content

The expansion is organized around five content types. The 20 drumkits and sequences provide complex beat structures for drum and bass and related genres. The 55 multisamples and 17 granular samples give Avenger a wide range of source material for basses, plucks and leads.

The 41 wavetables and 17 oscillator shapes are the core of the synth patches. The developer describes the wavetables as morphing, so the timbre can shift over time. That makes the pack suited to evolving chords and arpeggio movement, which are the parts of the sound the developer highlights.

Genres and Typical Use

Vengeance Sound lists Drum and Bass, Drumstep, Jungle, Breakbeat, Techstep, Future Bass and EDM as target styles. The fast tempos and aggressive character of the presets suit those genres.

Producers working in these styles can use the drumkits as a starting point for rhythm programming, then adjust the wavetables and multisamples to fit a track. The presets are useful in Avenger as both sound sources and finished starting patches.
