M-Audio Venom Review

by Aston Clyde from LA
April 28, 2012
Music Background: Electro Archives
Amazing synth for $350! I own 2 because it rocks. Sounds better than the Virus. The Vyzex editor is super cool and the USB 2.0 interface sounds fantastic. Yes the CM are paid to endorse it but when th... read more [+]ey claim it's the best modern synth to hit the scene in the past ten years you better believe it because it's TRUE.

Superb synth

Great synth with built-in audio interface that imo sounds fatter than a Virus (though virus has better effects). The designer of this synth (the dude featured in the debut videos on Sonic State) also ... read more [+]was involved in the design of the Alesis Andromeda, so it should give an idea of what this synth can sound like.

It is quite rich featurewise with the exception of polyphony which is on the low end for a VA digital synth. However, I would rather prefer standard 12 voices than Access Virus' 80 voices that always varies based on your programming... close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Yuval Fuchs
When an electronic product overwhelms you with inspiration to make music, it should then be designated as a 'true musical instrument'. This is what I felt about the M-Audio Venom from the moment I first laid hands on it. Needless to say, I have not been able to get my hands off of it since then.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
