Got it from nostalgy memories and so far I like it but does anyone has issues with older Vanguard 1 projects?
It doesn't load the presets / settings used on that particular projects.

Enable "v1 compatibility mode" on the backside. If that doesn't help, please open a ticket with support.andrei.tuduran wrote: Thu Mar 05, 2026 1:10 pm Got it from nostalgy memories and so far I like it but does anyone has issues with older Vanguard 1 projects?

Yeah...I tried with the V1 compatibility mode and it doesn't work either. I get strange sounds from the Vanguard instances.FigBug wrote: Thu Mar 05, 2026 1:23 pmEnable "v1 compatibility mode" on the backside.

As a small preview and comparison between V1 and V2 – the new skins come with a different layout (FX section now at the bottom). There will be 10 in total, similar to the Nexus5R skins (which are probably out this summer), all of these skins are now primarily based on real synths from the past... Even if they`re now "only" 10 - they look much better as the V1 versions.Teksonik wrote: Wed Mar 04, 2026 6:23 pm Cool, looking forward to seeing what you do with the new skins.![]()
The update will probably be available/released after Easter...

Those are absolutely awesome! They're crisper than version 1 and that seems to be important now to these old eyes.
I'm generally not a fan of "aged" GUIs with scratches and rust etc but that's just my personal taste.
I'm very much looking forward to the release!
As for your Nexus 5 skins will they just be for the "classic" view or is is possible to skin the full editor view as well?

And maybe the upgrade will be available on the "My Updates" tab in your PluginBoutique account, but earliest mid next week. I have to check if PluginBoutique can handle it this way, on monday.andrei.tuduran wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 3:15 pmThank you!Cyforce wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 3:14 pmAs mentioned on the product page, send me an email with e.g. proof of purchase (like PluginBoutique) and i will send you the upgrade.![]()

Thanks to CFA Sound, all Vanguard 2 customers get one free skin. Just launch the reFX Cloud app to get it.
