Today we are taking a look at M-AUDIO's Venom Synth.
The 12-Voice Virtual Analog Synthesizer, Venom, is a synth that can be also used as a MIDI controller. The list price on this thing is $549.99 but you can find it cheaper through the net on sites like Amazon.com for $315.66. Some of the key features on this 49-key Keyboard are 3 oscillators, 3 LFOs and 3 Envelopes. I know, I know... Those aren't the full features but I will like to point those out. In case you are interested in more info you can head over to the M-AUDIO site for more information.
One last feature before we move into the real business here... This synth comes with a Software called Vyzex Venom where you can further tweak sounds and create them on your PC or Mac.
So... What is the overall performance of this thing?
This keyboard performs extremely well for how affordable it is. Being completely honest, Im not a keyboardist neither a musician nor an expert on Synthesizers, but the possibilities of this keyboard are amazing. It comes with great banks of sounds for those who doesn't know that much about synthesis, like me :), but the interface is really easy and understandable for inexperienced producers. One thing that I like is how fast you can create ideas from your synth and from your DAW or Digital Audio Workstation with the MIDI capabilities of the keyboard.
Overall, great sounds and great possibilities with this tool. The ability to tweak sounds with these Envelopes is beyond amazing. Sure is, there is much more to say about this synth but for the purpose of this section we will only say that it has a rich sound, a great analog sound and something that for a bunch of people might be simple, that ARP button is awesome.
This does it for another delivery of Things I Like, know that y'all all welcome to leave comments.
Thanks,
Steven Urena
