Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of M-Audio® Venom™. Venom is a 49-key “virtual analog” synthesizer,
USB-compatible MIDI controller, and audio interface in one convenient package. You can play Venom as a
standalone synthesizer and use it as an audio mixer; or you can use it as a USB MIDI controller and audio in-
terface with your computer. You can also use Venom as an effects processor (the audio inputs on Venom are
routed through the multimode filter and on-board effects). Whether performing live or working in the studio,
Venom is a powerful and compact music production tool for any musician.
