Rumor is it'll be a $99 upgrade. I've become spoiled by UVI Falcon free upgrades. Buying this a second time for pretty much what I paid for it 18 months ago on sale isn't very appealing!

agreed, expensive update, you just basically will get 250 more presets, so like 2 banks sale for them and calling it upgrade

Unfortunately need to have purchased v1 through pluginboutique. Otherwise not eligible.  Too bad.

you are eligible, just send PB support proof of purchase or license transfer nfo from vps support

its better option anyway as you can use points+get free plugin

It will never succeed to be inside the best plugin, professional producers and composers are not interested in instruments with full orchestras pressing a single finger no matter how well they sound, Avenger is wrong with this policy of paid updates while still the client can barely have a handful of expansions of the first version, without a doubt it does not seduce in the least...

I don't get why people think this upgrade is just 250 more presets. Nor why people consider Avenger just a preset machine. Yes, it has a lot of (expensive) expansions (90+ for V1). But it is one of the most powerful synths on the market. Here is what the update really gives you. If you think this should all be giving away for free then I feel sorry for your entitled little minds.

• up to 8 OSC Modules:

  • each OSC with own V-Saw (Supersaw) (1-7 voices, 1-4 octs, pan spread)
  • each OSC with its own vibrato LFO (which can modulate every V-Saw (Supersaw) voice seperately)
  • each OSC with own Chorder (Note Stacker, Unison)
  • each OSC with additional Sub OSC model
  • each OSC can have its own synthesis model (see "GENERATORS" for details)

• OSC Transformation parameters:

  • Xcite (bending the waveform in any direction)
  • Formant (pulse width modulate any waveform)
  • Bit/Crush (Rate/Bit reduce any waveform)
  • Sync (easy sync mode with built in modulation env)
  • Volume / Pan / Transpose / Finetune / Random&Alternate Pitch
  • Noise Generator (level, noise color / noise rate reducer, stereo spread)
  • FM & AM (if you wish Alias free mode), FM source: countless basic waveforms, noise or own custom drawable shapes. Rate is syncable to semitones/octaves/7ths etc)
  • FFT editor for each OSC Module: Edit all spectral content in realtime, delete odd harmonics, boost octaves performs morphs or create custom filtersweeps
  • Randomizer
  • many FFT presets (organ overtone registers, crazy stuff etc...)
  • use our unique feature to randomly pulsate every band!

•  up to 8 ARP Modules:

  • up / down / random / poly modes
  • new randomizer module for the arp (let you randomize your arp patterns, with plenty of options and different scales)
  • you can randomizes: note pitch, note length, silenct gaps, octaves, velocity, ratches and note connections (slides)
  • "auto dice" feature: creates a new random arp on every pattern end
  • different note scales (like lydian, dorian, pent minor or asian etc)
  • new ratchet feature (you can now subdivide arp notes and even set their velocity and pitch)
  • editable note lengths and note transposes / velocities
  • each arp has up to 4 sub patterns (A B C D), means you can make complex melodies of 4x 32notes
  • hundreds of ARP presets to chose from
  • export the arp patterns as midi file

• up to 8 Step SQ Modules:

  • contour, decay, gate time, editable step lengths and velocity
  • perfectly synces Step SQ
  • Can be quickly used as TranceGate effect
  • does not click
  • stereo mode (L/R)
  • comes with many presets, even such as sidechain simulations, rhythmic gates etc... 

• up to 8 Mod Envelope Modules:

  • free configurable envelopes, add as many points as you like
  • can also be in sync mode (quarter/triplet) to create moving and unique patterns
  • countless trigger modes, such as firt/last notes, arpeggio, bassdrum from drum SQ etc
  • can oneshot, loop, loop with release phase, ping pong etc... 

• up to 8 Pitch Envelope Modules:

  • BiPolar Pitch envelope where you can add as many additional points as you like
  • sync and trigger modes like in the Mod Envelope
  • portamento modes: normal, poly, legato and poly legato (yes) with custom depth and portamento pitch curve
  • editable Pitchbend lag time

• up to 5 AMP Modules:

  • OSCs can be routet in different AMP Modules:
  • each AMP module has its own (analog) AHDSR envelope, but can be triggered from other env sources, such as MOD Envelope, too
  • spike parameter, which REALLY spikes this time. 
  • volume / Pan / Keytrack
  • stereo spread parameter

• up to 5 FILTER Modules Master Filter Module:

  • paralell filtering and complex filter routing is possible
  • OSCs can be routet in different FILTER Modules              
  • each FILTER module has its own (analog) AHDSR envelope, but can be triggered from other env sources, such as MOD Envelope, too
  • at the moment 47 Filtertypes, all basic filter types as well as analog filter, comb filter, talking/vowel filters, peakfilters, fm/crush, TB filter etc...
  • resonance type selectable: additive or volume compensated
  • each filter has Drive, Drive oversampled and a neat Comb filter 

• up to 5 SHAPER Modules:

  • the Shaper modules add distortion (per voice!) for each osc which is routet into it
  • at the moment 17 unique distortion models
  • two pre distortion EQ bands to shape the distortion tone
  • stereo split mode
  • can be pre or post FILTER or AMP modules

• up to 5 LFO Modules:

  • 17 LFO Shapes to chose from 3 freely drawable shapes
  • fade in / delay
  • change offset (y axis) phase (x axis)
  • countless trigger modes, such as firt/last notes, arpeggio, bassdrum from drum SQ etc
  • of course syncable (normal, triplet, dotted), with extra long LFO times

• Drum Sequencer:

  • dedicated drum sequencer for the drumkits with up to 16 bars
  • can also play drumloops in a perfect, transient conserving timestretch or turntable mode
  • can do drum ratchets with many velocity presets

  • loops can use a built in sidechain effect
  • pitch and amp envelopes for all drumslots
  • triplet or quarter mode
  • complex looping functions for drumloops
  • each note has velocity, pan, pitch or gate time
  • multiple selection tool: draw a box and select multiple notes, delete them, move them (with cursor arrows up/down/left/right) or st the velocity for all at once
  • many special modes: flip, reverse, mirror, copy/fill blocks etc

• OSC Quantizer:

  • designed after the (eurorack) modular world
  • locks and quantizes your oscillators to a specific scale (many scale presets to chose from, or do your own scales)
  • this is essential for creating random-like, self playing presets with random melodies and rhythms
  • many features and trigger options (sync trigger to an arp or a fixed grid)
  • automatic midi follow or fixed scales

  • 4 different patterns (which you can switch via modulation)

• powerful routing system:

  • add new modules and re-arrange the order the signal passes the modules for each OSC

  • "grouped" mod matrix. Means you can change all modmatrix assigments with 1 click to a LFO assignment for example
  • " " (additive) or "%" (percentage) modes
  • lag parameter. Smoothens the modulation, giving it inertia (for wha wha etc...)
  • modulation shape (create linear or logarithmic modulations)
  • cool new mod sources, such as PORTAMENTO glide (for example open the filter with the glide movement)

  • at the moment 34 FX types: Q4ntum multi FX Delay, BitBite, Env. Follower, RutaVerb, normal Delay, ArtsAcoustic Reverb, Trashverb, V-Verb, Room Sim, Impulse Response Reverb (with new IRs!), Gated Rev, Flanger, Chorus, Phaser, Multimod, Ministop (Tapestop!), Minichain (Sidechain), Bitcrusher, Distotion, Fuzzbox, Multiband Dist, Vinylizer, Waveshaper, Limiter, Compressor, Stereo Matrix, 4Band Equalizer, Multiband Limiter, Vintage Chorus, Vintage Flanger, Vintage Phaser, Rotary Simulation, Ensemble ARP, Ensemble 330

  • keyzones / velzones: create complex key and velocity zones with fade ins/outs for each OSC / drums
  • support for MIDI foot pedals, breath controller etc. For example: with one click assign your expression pedal to move the modwheel or the sustain pedal to control the release / any other parameter
  • global shuffle factor: All shuffles (ARP, StepSQ, DrumSQ etc) are linked to each other
  • parameter lock: lock your shuffle, volume or filter settings during preset change
  • powerful UNDO function: whatever you did, it can be UNDOne with 1 click

You can't buy it from them unless you bought the original from them so this is pretty worthless for most people and the Vengeance site is still impossible to get through to buy...

Avenger 2 looks like Falcon. 
But is it as good?

falcon was also upgraded and they did not ask for any money, 99e seems bit too much, maybe 49e ok

if you do mainly edm/house/dance music etc choose avanger , othewise choose falcon
