Description:
⚡ The revival of a legend ⚡
Features:
This is more than just a remaster—it’s a complete overhaul, refinement, and enhancement.
A new, more streamlined user interface. Ten new wavetables, two new filter types, a new delay type, an all-new reverb, a new distortion effect, tempo-synced LFOs, and much more.
Additionally, 136 brand-new factory presets have been created.
All Vanguard expansions, previously sold on reFX, are included for free.
Expanded Library
Three-column layout for easy navigation.
Color-coded tags, bookmarks, favorites, and a dedicated space for user presets.
Easily retrace your steps—go back one, two, three, or more moves—and continue browsing.
Find exactly what you’re looking for with instant previewing, search-as-you-type, filtering by category or tag, and more.
Improved Reverb
The reverb in the original Vanguard had a slightly “rattly” quality—we’ve fixed that.
It now uses the same reverb engine found in NEXUS5 (RutaVerb), delivering stunning sound quality.
New Distortion Effect
We’ve added an all-new distortion effect—placed after the enhanced reverb—to give your sounds some serious edge.
Simple, yet incredibly powerful.
Ten New Wavetables
Ten new wavetables unlock capabilities for Vanguard that were previously impossible.

Fixes:
