M-Audio Venom Synthesizer £155.51 delivered @ thomann

benskiafound 9 months, 2 weeks ago

Hey,
I found this mentioned on the soundonsound forums.
The M-Audio Venom synth is being discontinued and has been slashed in price on the German Thomann website.
Price delivered to the UK is £155.51.

I've had stuff delivered from them before and service has been fine. So shouldn't let the delivery put you off it you are looking for this synth at a knock down price.

Cheers.

People I listen to on last.fm have 250 listeners. If I were to make music there would be no financial reward.

I wouldn't know what to do first with this.

I have this.

I've been waiting for a VST plugin for it for well over a year. Now that M-Audio has been sold off
and as the developer of the VST hasn't been active in his own forum for a couple of months now
(after promising it was 'imminent' for two years) I don't believe it will ever materialize - something
that embitters me because I bought the synth for recording.

If you're looking for 'hard' sounds then this is great, not so much the mellow stuff.

Build quality is poor. The keyboard is verging on nasty, very cheap plastic. It's not a joy to play.
It's also a big lump of a thing, gigging keyboard players thinking they can control it live via midi
from their favoured controller will soon get tired of hogging it around. Or they could sample it...

However, it's all about the sound. I would suggest checking the sounds out on youtube and
various review sites. If it makes the sounds you need then it's probably worth the money.

250? That's too many, i've listened to bands with less than 10. :{

It wasn't the best sound wise among VA synths (though by no means bad). However that's still a lot of master keyboard, knobs and such for the money. hot!

the guy who gives this a 1-star review on amazon seems rather well-informed....describes it as very buggy and appalling customer support...was excited for one brief moment

Brilliant price. Time to replace my midi keyboard with this- so much more capable than my cheap controller. Ordered without hesitation at this price

From my experience m-audio keyboards have a habit of not lasting very long (I am meaning the actual physical key bed) - they may have improved them now if anyone knows any better??

Out of the 50+ we have at work not one has fully working keys

But 50+ Yamaha keyboards that are over twice the age are ALL working and still going strong, all with 5 hours+ per day use.

Haha, good for you buddy, keep it up.

Big is bad!!!! Small is good!!! The indie mentality is alive!

It's well known that the smaller the band is and and more obscure and unlistenable the music, the smugger the listener will feel.

Hans Thomann is ruining the music industry. He takes a small percentage and relies on volume...although this might seem a great for the buyer in the short term it is killing the industry longterm......companies are having to find cheaper ways to manufacture the products and this in tern is giving us guys an inferior product...also with the shorter margins many manufaturers are stipping the R&D budgets so the indusrty as a whole is stagnating....rant over...feel free to put the boot in to my comments...

If you order, just remember you get charged in Euros, so if you pay by debit/credit card your bank may levy a fee for the conversion charge on top - just check the t&Cs of your account (mine is free, for others it's a £1, or 2% etc.)
