ditto. i use it primarily for layering under my main lead. it's pretty sweet for fx and pads, too. |

i used it when i didnt have outboard gear and its fantastic. i agree with mysticalninja it does have some strange high freqs but that isnt a major issue. its much better than loads of other rubbish on the market. in order to really bring out its true power you need to work with it for a while.

| I like it for some sounds, if you overuse it though I reckon it can sound a bit cliched and cheesy tho, a bit like any supersawy type synth I guess! It is nice and simple though and has quite a good sound. I do prefer V station over vanguard though, it sounds a little more interesting and less stereotypical! |

Vanguard is a great synth; it does certain things that no other does quite like it.
I'd mention it specifically, but then I'd be giving away my evil secrets. mwahaha |

yeah, the reason it has different high frequencies is because the synth engine actually "wraps" the excess frequencies back into the low end... i don't know if it had ever been done before, but the result was unique; if you're not careful, of course, you get a metallic sound, and it's harder to escape that "digital" feel. |

| while vanguard can be useful, i dont often use it. i think the sound is too distorted and grainy for my taste |

| Personally I love it. Great sounds and hardly hits the CPU. |

+1.
its a great synth and good sounds are possible. its major bonus is the efficiency.
id say its the best vst with regards to usefulness vs efficiency. |
