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
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 waveforms for unique hybrid sounds.
