i'm a bit tired of using absynth 3, fm8 and massive all the way and i'm searching for something fresh.
i really loved the sound in the demo of tassman4 but somehow i disliked the fact that when you build a sound patch from blocks you have to disable the sound whenever you make a change.
lately i discovered vaz modular which is a terrific synth and i'm really happy that i found it - it sits very nicely in your sequencer and the fun with it is sheer endless - also the sound is great. although it lacks a few "modern" modules that i might want.
also lately found - tera3 - again i'm curious that i haven't stumbled upon this before - it has a really wonderful sound, consists of 6 different synths and is 16 voices multitimbral so you can actually make whole tracks on one instance.
what are your favs besides the native instruments thingies?

renoise is a tracker, not a synth. you plug synths into renoise.
in terms of vst, i really only ever used free ones. of those, polyblit was by far my favorite - accurate sounding (to me) modeling of analogue synths and a really intuitive and pretty layout make it a joy to use. youll be amazed at how many sounds you can get out of just a few wave generators, filters and envelopes.

they make the best sounding software implementations of the monolithic Roland gear i've ever heard so far (in my opinion)
the only thing i've found wrong is that the hi-hats and cymbal on the 808 aren't quite perfect to a good ear.
i plan on buying these when i have the money. need to buy Logic Studio first though :-s

yo can you upload that polylblit vst online so i can download the .dll file, cause i have the old version, and the new one has a download link on that guy errson's site thats broken, unless you dont have the newer version either.

Moog Modular - sounds pure analogue to me. It has multiple oscilators and filters that gives you a very very wide sound scape.
CS80v = is a replica of famous analogue synth aslong as the Moog modular VST. Thing with Cs80v is that its very easy to use. Some one withous any basic knowledge can create various sounds by just tweaking knobs. good for long sustained pads and experimental long sounds.

Get a shit load of free ones, I use freeware VSTs more than I use the ones I've bought.

it is cool, but just because it reminds fasttracker and digibooster that was really good like 7 years ago on my amiga 1200.

you know there was a time when i had a shitload of free vst plugins on my pc. the problem was just that i got totally distacted by the amount when making a track - i rather want to have like 5 synths which not only sound good bu also are versatile so i can use it several times and not only for one particular sound.
my absolute fav still remains fm8 - it's range of sound is immense.
vaz.mp3 this is a sample of a few minutes spend with vaz modular.

I really like vaz modular too. Very good for emulating 101 bass sounds.

i still like building them myself more than buying one or using one that everyone else uses, plus i can make it as extreme as i want to.

nah i stopped building anything in reaktor or else - i just had too much ideas and eventually stopped music due to spending all the time on making machines to make music

that's why i don't use reaktor, it's uninspiring to me. Rather use the raw clean and simple Synthedit which serves me well actually.

i can say that i'm quite comfortable now with reaktor - maybe i'm not able to write some more complex stuff or make my own modules but i can achieve what i want quite quickly.
it just seems to me that i have to have some kind of, you know limit in what i can do. then i start to see what i can do with what i have.
i always ended up tweaking the hell out of my synths i made and was never really happy with the results.

oh i do that too, build in limits to challenge myself. The Fah_modular i build has that, for example, all the LFOs share the same shape-switch, which is kind of modular-like to me. I also added peak triggered soft white/pink noise to give the oscillators a bit more of that fleshy punch, and i think i did quite a good job, and i keep finding out different ways to use the thing.
Also, i never really thought while being in fruity or ableton like "damn, i wish i had a quartet oscillator vector synthesizer" or something like that, ideas for vsts or vstis come by accident i guess. Or while i'm just fucking around with modules on synthedit.

moog modular and cs80v by arturia use the EXACT same audio engine in both synths. albeit with different filter slopes. vaz modular is the end all be all out of everything i've ever tried. vember audio surge is neat too. Haven't gotten too deep with it though
