Remember reFX Vanguard? Originally released in 2004, this virtual analog synth was very popular among electronic dance music producers, thanks to its analog-style oscillators, multiple waveforms, trance-gate effect, arpeggiator and its inspiring preset library. The synth was discontinued in 2016, but reFX just announced that Vanguard is reborn in version 2, with a new, cleaner user interface, ten new wavetables, two new filter types, new delay-type, a completely new reverb, a new distortion FX, synced LFOs, etc. Also, 136 completely new factory presets have been added. And all Vanguard expansion previously sold on reFX are included for a total of 2440 presets.

reFX has revived its synth plugin legend Vanguard as Vanguard 2, including new features, a user interface overhaul, and more. Xfer Serum, Arturia Pigments 3, NI Massive XT, Vital..all known modern wavetable synthesizers that have been downloaded thousands of times. However, there are times when other plugins topped the top ten lists. One of them was the beloved Vanguard, a collaboration between reFX and German developer Markus Krause aka Tone2. Its straightforward workflow but also its ready-to-use sound quality were appreciated by many EDM producers.
