What's New in Vagabond Synth

1.2.0

September 16, 2026

Added a preset browser within the plug-in window for hosts that don't provide their own. This also exposes shared user presets to apps that don't support them natively — looking at you, GarageBand. (Note that for apps that use their own presets mechanism — again, GarageBand — loading a preset from within the plug-in will not update the app's own preset UI. Everything will still work correctly, it'll just look a bit wrong. This is a host limitation that I can't find any way around.)

Pretty nice wave table synth

You can get some pretty nice sounds with this, they sound like something from dune. I think it would be cool if you could add in your own samples, but that’s my only complaint

You did good, keep at it

Great sound

I’ll be honest, it looked cheesy from the screenshot but instantly the sound tone blew me away. Only gripe is the font is hard for me to read

Instant drone love

Right out of the box this unique little synth is a drone wizard. The access to every needed parameter is so immediate and intuitive.The fact that this is a free offering is amazing. I enjoy the idiosyncratic, yet totally useable and understandable controls. Simple yet luscious.
