We know, and are already cracking jokes on how it looks like it’s hot off the Music Radar “Best synths of 2015” list lol.

Or I am at least lol.

Looks alright to me. Improvement on the first version.

I'll download if it is free and check it out.

They should honour their previous declaration.

Yeah it’s not too bad, I guess I’m just used to all the dark UIs that have been around for a while.

The demo on their YT page sounds great, which is what matters more.

Discounted upgrade offer for v1 users as far as I can tell, $49 instead of $79.

That’d be nice but if it wasn’t shared by BONES I’d not have even known lol.

I guess we can go down to the Bitwig sub and see if we can borrow their pitch forks and torches and see if we can demand reFX give it to use for free like they did lol. They managed to get a company to change course, so can we!

wobble basses! but despite that (or maybe... because of it? 🤣) will probably dive in. it's up-to-date (silicon-ready!) and am in the mood for something new (& old) to torture I MEAN make music with...

not honoring a previous commitment to free updates is pretty scummy tbh

Post

it's not an update, it's an upgrade... a new version. and $49 seems pretty reasonable ($79 for me, but this is my first round with vanguard).

thought i'd have to install all 19 expansions one-at-a time... but all good, there's the choice to 'install everything'. will check it out tonite 👍

EDIT: the browser's... interesting. if you're in an expansion listening to 'pads', and switch to another expansion, you're automatically in 'pads' there as well. and there's a preview of every sound before you load it (or am i just high 🤔)....

Looks like a "little" Nexus?

I have Vanguard 1 and do not see the upgrade price of $49

Maybe add it to your cart and see if it drops? I see $49 when clicking the Buy Now button as well.

Hehe. I don't think I'd expend much energy on that either.

Had completely forgotten about the message that BONES shared but I do remember it now.

And yeah, it does sound nice.

Is it worth 80 bucks? I have Reveal Sound Spire which covers the same EDM genres.

the fact that you own spire makes that a much more difficult question.

I didn't hear anything in the demo video to suggest it's going to replace Spire or Diva as my main synths (or Zebra once I get around to learning it)
