Reverse crashes are easy to do, just reverse a sample. Sweeping sounds....I assume you mean the kind done with white noise, again quite simple to do.

try samples4u! i got some half decent ones from there!

Try Dorumalaia

This dude is a complete legend, is always posting up great packs of samples. There is an excellent "reverses" pack and good fx ones too.

I'm downloading the packs from Doru Malaia's website

Thanks for the answers...
Keep'em coming!

try making them yourself
play around with pitch, noise, filters, envelopes

its more fun to make FX yourself + theres a bonus to doing it - you can custom design them to fit into your song as opposed to having to modify your song around a bunch of pre rendered FX. heres a few to get started. all these are made in vanguard.

1/ downward swooshing noise: on the osc add a white noise waveform and max out the volume. leave the other 2 oscillators clear. 0 fatness. on the lfo panel, set the lfo speed between 8 o clock and 10 o clock. leave the rest of the lfo panel. on the filter panel, set the filter type to band+shp1 or band+shp2. 0 cutoff. max resonance. on the envelop panel, for ENV 1 leave the attack, decay and release on 0 but set sustain to maximum. leave ENV 2. for the next bit you can either use your own delay/reverb or the one on vanguard. either way put a reverb on it with a long decay (between 3 and 5 seconds) and delay with mid to low dampening but lots of feedback.

you now have a downward swooshing effect. good for relaunching with.

2/ slow oscillating plane take off sound (sorry about these names): select white noise on the osc again. have the lfo speed at around 9 o clock and the cutoff at around 3 o clock. on the filter set the filter type to band 24db and have the cutoff around 10 o clock, maximum resonance. on the envelope, ENV 1 set the attack and release to 3 o clock, leave the decay on 0 and set the sustain and lvl to max. on ENV 2, leave everything as it is, you dont need it. now just whack on a loooong deep delay and you have a tiesto esque take off sound. thats good for relaunches too.

EDIT: you can make a whole bunch of mad sounds just by screwing around with the noise waveforms, the cutoff, the envelope sustain and decay and delay/reverb. add a second waveform (saw wave) and increase the attack on ENV 2 whilst using the arp on 1/64 intervals to create laser shooting effects or farting noises depending on the amount of detune.

i think vanguard has some preset FX but i dont remember any of them being really usable. in either case the best stuff you can get out ofvanguard are definitely to be found when you program stuff yourself.
