VPS Avenger 2.1 [RELEASED – FAQ in OP] – Page 120 – Instruments Forum

Here’s a feature request that I think would make quite a big difference to using Avenger and the XPs – a lock button on the ARP and the Drum Sequencer.

Sound Lock is one of the very best – and perhaps most under-appreciated – features in Omnisphere. There’s a host of stuff you can lock as you browse, meaning you hear patches completely unique to you as you go through each patch. It might be over-ambitious to wish for this in Avenger, but those two specific locks would be invaluable.

Specifically it would enable you to browse ARPs and SQs and not hear melodic content – simply load a default 16ths into the ARP and done. Of course alternately if there was a specific ARP melody you liked, you could impose that on other presets by default. As it stands, you have load that ARP for every single preset you browse.

The biggest problem I can see is what to do with patches that contain multiple ARPs. The most obvious logic would be to over-ride every ARP instance with this locked pattern, though an alternate would be to load only ARP 1 (or whatever ARP number) with the one you lock.
