actually it is...
i'm working in ableton right now, and trying to use Vanguard to make a low clean sub. just a low sine wave. when i look at it through Inspector, it shows a lot of overtones, and it doesnt sound like a sine, it sounds like a low passed square. when i put a low pass filter over it, it still sounds like a low passed square... any ideas?

Is it distorting somewhere along the way? Maybe the filters are adding a bit of distortion when they're driven? Maybe Vanguard can't do a proper sine and does a softened square instead...

Damn, I wouldn't trust Vanguard to anything other than Arpeggio duties, meself.

vanguard is a decent vst soft synth
for pure waveforms it sucks
complicated shit and args its ill
matter of try before you buy/use

I don't think Vanguard is even actually generating waves itself. I think they're all samples of waves. When I use it, it always has an element of muck to it. I'd like to control muck, not just be lumbered with it from the outset.
