The M-Audio Venom is a 49 note full sized "synth action" virtual analogue synthesizer, that combines the sonic character of classic analogue synths with modern digital processing. These technologies deliver a unique, aggressive sound that's sure to inspire your imagination, and destroy dance floors the world over.
The M-Audio Venom synthesizer allows you to easily tweak parameters from the intuitive top-panel interface, or explore endless sound design and configuration possibilities with the included software editor.
Venom is also an audio interface for Pro Tools M-Powered and other music software-forming a powerful production machine to take your music in wild new directions.
Venom also boasts a new sound engine that merges analogue flavour with digital power-providing a unique sonic signature that stands apart from the glossy sheen of other virtual analogue synths.
The M-Audio Venom provides 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 analogue voices features three oscillators, giving users 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. 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 sonic control.
