01Overview

Synthwave 1 is built around 1980s sounds, with presets for arpeggios, basslines, leads, analog-style pads and digital bells. The pack also includes its own drum material, so you can build a full retro arrangement inside Avenger. The developer notes that three sound designers, Manuel Schleis, Kevin Schroeder and Andy Hinz, contributed to the collection, which gives it a varied range of textures. Vengeance Sound also says the sounds suit genres beyond synthwave, including trance, EDM, pop and hip-hop.

Sound Design and Character in Synthwave 1

The expansion focuses on 80s-inspired synth sounds. Vengeance Sound describes the presets as thick and bright, covering crisp vintage basslines, arpeggio lines, lead sounds, analog-style pads and digital bell tones.

Because three sound designers worked on the collection, the presets vary in style and approach. You get a mix of sustained textures, rhythmic patterns and single-note voices rather than one uniform sound palette.

What Is Inside the Avenger Expansion Pack

Synthwave 1 contains 136 Avenger presets. The pack includes 15 new drumkits and 15 new drum sequences, so you can pair the sounds with matching rhythm material. It also adds 39 new multisamples, 41 new oscillator shapes and 51 new wavetables, which give you additional raw sound sources to shape in Avenger.

The pack requires Avenger, and the developer states that you need Avenger v1.8.0 or later to use it. Check your version before installing.
