M-Audio Venom - Venomous to the Maximus [NO TALKING DEMO]

Published on Apr 14, 2020 Marshal Arnold

"M-Audio Venom - Venomous to the Maximus [NO TALKING DEMO]

Almost 10 years go M-Audio released their first synthesizer the Venom (2011). Sadly, this was also their last Synthesizer, at least to date. I remember being super jazzed about this synth after seeing videos at NAMM and seeing demos from Sonic State and others.

I had sold mine many years ago after being super disappointed in it and seems as though I was not alone. These synths now go for about $100.00-150.00 USD. When new they were quite a bit more. Anyway I picked one up about a year ago to have some fun, this video is a no talking demo of some of the performance presets. I moded a few of these, but ll audio is direct from the M-Audio Venom, no post processing was done."

M-Audio Venom - inexpensive 12 voice, 4 part multitimbral virtual analog synthesizer

Published on Mar 24, 2020 Floyd Steinberg

"On your request, here's a lengthy video on the M-Audio Venom, a virtual analog synth from the early 2010s. This Video is sponsored by DistroKid: http://distrokid.com/vip/floyd . Table of contents below!

The M-Audio Venom was released in the early 2010s. It's a 12 voice polyphonic, 4 part multitimbral virtual analog synthesizer (or is it?) This synth is quite inexpensive at the moment, you can find it on ebay for around $120.

In this video, there's a 3 minute track made only with this synth, an overview of the hardware and features, some selected sounds / patches and a brief look at the synth engine and the Windows Editor needed for creating your own patches and how to work around compability issues in Windows 10.

I also show how external instruments can be run through the Venom's effect engine.

Friday Fun - M-Audio Venom Dreadbox Hypnosis

Published on Mar 20, 2020 sonicstate

"One thing I've found doing these in recent weeks - the process of just playing and improvising really soothes the soul - temporarily perhaps but its still a pleasant oasis. I can thoroughly recommend you try it.

This time I have the old M-Audio Venom an undeniably digital machine from some time ago, and with a pretty unique and angry sound, though it can do mellow too. I paired this up with the Dreadbox Hypnosis - which is a lovely performance FX unit - see our review.


Remember - 'Keep Calm and Play Synths'"

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2019

Today I demo my SH2-VCF with more basslines, melodic leads, and a few arpeggios. I'll keep the talking to a minimum, but explain how I'm setting up the sounds in general.
Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05.
I've kept the Timefactor Delay and Big Sky Reverb to a bare minimum. But you'll hear them from time to time.

Downtempo Electro w/ JP6-VCF Eurorack Module [Roland Jupiter-6 Filter] Demo 2

Published on Aug 28, 2018 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2018

Today I'm doing a little electro jam with my JP6-VCF module.
A bit of a deep house vibe, what I call the poor mans Jupiter-6 trick...
On the M-Audio Venom I've made a filter-bypassed polyphonic sawtooth patch.
The Venom dry output goes into the JP6-VCF.
JP6-VCF gets CV from the 2xADSR, going to the VCA on Bastl Skis.
The 2xADSR gets its trigger from Varigate4.

Arturia Beatstep Pro is providing the Bass Pitch CV + gate.
As well as the master clock for Varigate4.
The bass is the Pittsburgh Synth Box going to 101-VCF module.
101-VCF gets CV from the other channel of Bastl Skis.
And processed by the Skis VCA.

Hats are coming from Basimilus Iteritas Alter.
Also triggered by Varigate4.
At first it is dry, then mixed through my Spring Tank Reverb Driver.
Tank Reverb picks up a CV signal from the other channel of 2xADSR.
To keep it interesting the Tank Reverb out goes to EMW VC Pan module.
Which is having pan modulated by the Pittburgh Toolbox S/H.

Kick sounds mighty fine coming from Future Retro Transient+, no effects.
Going directly to the Mackie mixer, kick muting happens there.

All euro stuff is going through the Timefactor Delay.
Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no post processing."
