Favourite Softsynth

[seb7]

There's way too many to make this a poll. Anyway what are your fav's???
My current favourites would be:
Linplug Albino 3
Tone2 Firebird &
Novation V-Station

[gonza]

Discovery 2
Fruityloops 3x OSC ^^
Rob Papen Blue
Pro 53

I am really looking forward to the refx/vengeance Nexus synth now, i think it's going to be massive. :P

[dj_stick]

a vengeanse softsynth would be awesome, but atm i'm mostly using Novation's V-Station and eMagic's ES2 as my main synths

EDIT: forgot audiorealism bassline, that synth kicks ass for an acid line

[Kaya]

Vanguard
Pro-53
Kontakt
CamelSpace
CamelPhat
FM8
Waves Bundle


They all rock

[dj_stick]

FM8, i haven't had a play with that yet, how does it compare to the FM7?

[Kaya]

i never used fm7. I've only become a fan of this recently.

But it's awesome. I always purchase plugins that have good sound quality reviews, i don't care if they a hard to use, not enough presets, gui, all that crap. At the end of the day, it's the quality that matters and these rock.


I really want to get absynth 4, i was a fan since absynth 1

[dj_stick]

absynth 1 was pretty cool actually, the envelope system was cool (they used in the FM7 too, that was fun)

[key]

My favourites:

Oddity
MS20
Polysix
Vanguard

Vstation is cool but not compatible with dualcore in FL Studio, + it generates a noise!

[seb7]

I didn't really get into Absynth to tell you the truth. I guess it just wasn't for me. I really want to check out FM8 though. It sounds awesome.

Vanguard is cool. So good for monster leads.

[Kaya]

NI have the new Komplete out, with all new versions of their synths, check out the homepage, you can download a demo for fm8

[seb7]

Thanks for the tip Kaya. Will check it out for sure

You want Scot'bass?

Try the oddity(im 95% sure the bass from Cocaine remix comes from it) & the MS20 (terrible double filter)

[Kaya]

i want scot bass!! i'll check it out

anymore recommendations for good bass production that has a lot a features to manipulate it?

[dj_stick]

analogue modelling softsynths, based on classics like the MS20 or minimoog

TIMEWARP 2600 is fantastic! very analogish and fat, but extremely complex with a lot of possibilities!!

sounds cool but wouldnt you rather make your own sound instead of sounding like other people? lol

yeah but it was when i try to experiment some bass sound, i found the cocaine bass sound, lot of portamento, noise, 2 saw (0 and +2 octave), some sidechaining, eq, compressor!

[dj_stick]

i might try doing that with the ES2 if i can

[seb7]

I checked out the Oddity. It's capable of some massive sounds hey. I might purchase it when i save up some more $$$

the lacks of this synth IMO:

mono & duo, no more polyphonie, no unison function, just 1 lfo, but the sound is awesome! massive bassline!

[dj_stick]

for basslines monophonic is the way to go ;) nice and pure

[seb7]

For sure. And this synth is perfect for phat basslines. Oh well gotta save those pennies for this.

[nasr]

does anyone use ableton? fruity loopz? all this software that u are talking about i have never heard of!

[dj_stick]

live and fl are sequencers

softsynths are instruments, most sequencers will allow you to use softsynths within their environment

[Louk]

for me

Korg Legacy
Discovery Nord Rack
Novation V Station
Even refx Vanguard (if used lightly as a layering synth)
Linplug Octopus

Rule :)
