An oldie, but a goodie!

Interesting, it doesn't look like like an "oldie" interface-wise. What's it good for? Leads, pads, bass, other? What gap would you say this fills next to something more ubiquitous like Sylenth1?
Sounds ancient, like a rusty piece of Soviet analogue gear. Probably the first VST to be adopted by the hardstyle producer base early on in the 2000s.

Trance and EDM
This is my favorite soft synth for making all manors of electronic music. I love the amount of control an ease of use. The filters are excellent as well. I love using the trance gates to add all sorts of reinforcements to my dance music.

Basses
I haven't delved too deeply into it, but I enjoy using Vanguard for DJ Mustard basses and occasionally weird leads.



Amazing synths
This has some of the best synths ever! totally recommend it to new people!

Description
Released in 2004, it is a virtual analog synthesizer with three oscillators, 32 waveforms, up to 10-times unison, a filter with a number of frequency responses, delay and reverb effects, and stereo pattern controlled noise gate and arpeggiator, making this plugin useful among the electronic dance music producers. Most functions can be automated, such as cutoff frequencies, resonance, ADSR, and LFO. Vanguard works with any VST-capable host and features the Trancegate and Arpeggiator tools. The major part of the audio audio-engine and 128 factory-sounds were programmed by Markus Krause from Tone2 Audiosoftware.
Vanguard has been discontinued in 2016.
This synthesizer is used by many[citation needed] electronic dance music producers, however is not as prevalent as reFX's Nexus 2 ROM plugin.
I Got It Promotionally, but it's pretty cool!
