Kidd Cabbage Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 So, this probably makes me an ass... But lately, my go-to synth has been TAL's Juno replica. It's primitive as all hell, but I love its sound, and I've been using that baby in just about everything recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 sylenth is my utility synth, for quickly throwing together basic sounds. absynth for sounds w/ a little more personality. and i've just started getting into massive for basses and heavier electro stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Massive is pretty much my to-go synth, yes. Incredibly versatile, brilliant modulation system that is pretty much the gold standard for any other VST out there, incredibly deep. lots of soft synths are great, just arnt that fat *cough*massive*cough* Haha, what?

liquid wind Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 sytrus it sounds good and is versatile, I also like how you can select the oversampling mode where a lot of synths just default oversample, this is good for me because I do a lot of stuff with intentional aliasing the envelopes can be a pain at times though, I kind of wish they'd make like a "sytrus light" or something, a stripped down version of it with the same filters but just simple ADSR knobs(yes sytrus technically has these, their default mapping is horrid though, like you can turn the attack knob all the way up and it's still relatively fast) and one page interface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's primitive as all hell, but I love its sound, and I've been using that baby in just about everything recently. yes, it sounds awesome. although i always end up making that same delayed rectangle LFO driven burbly octave arpeggio patch with it. i can't stop myself, it's THE most obvious thing to do! every sound needs it.

SonicThHedgog Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 other then bio toxic im lovin abletons operator it has so meny options and waveform from normal to 8bit to 16bit and 32bit ; D i think zircon already said it but i will say it again, Zebra 2 is also great! but my go to synths for vst are Abletons Operator, Imagelines, bio toxic , sytrus (retarded interface but it sound good tho) , and Zebra 2.

The Biznut Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Z3ta+ is a winner for sure. Some neato sounds. I actually haven't spent a lot of time with many other synths, maybe that would change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souliarc Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 That was done with Massive. Also, Massive. You think you could upload the .ksd patches? I'm just a curious little fellow. Edit: Oh, and yeah, I go to Massive quite a bit My desktop CPU can't handle very many instances of it sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 This thread needs a bump Massive is a yes. The only thing I don't like about Massive is how un-modulative it is. Don't get me wrong, the wiring on that thing is incredible, but I don't like how low the number of editable parameters is. I guess my main pet peeve with Massive is that you can't change wavetables mid-track unless they were to add a wavetable switch control. (otherwise you need more than one instance of massive with otherwise-identical control settings, but different wavetables)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannthr Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Omnisphere is nice, and I have Z3ta, I've used Reaktor and Massive and Fm8, but frankly, the best Soft Synth I have ever used is Zebra 2. Zebra 2 is highly programmable, yes, that's all well and good, more importantly, it heavily emulates the signal flow of an actual modular synth system, but even more importantly is how it sounds. It's the only soft synth I've heard that actually SOUNDS analog. Hans Zimmer said in an interview that he was so happy with how Zebra 2 sounded, he hired Howard Scarr to come in and work at Remote Control and program all the patches for the Score for Inception, which he then admitted was 99% Zebra. Outstanding. I recently had the Musical Sound Designer for Bear McCreary come in and do a chat on musical sound design for my students--he's a hardware synth freak! He has a collection of hardware synths that would make Keith Emerson proud, but when he programs patches for clients, he recommends Zebra as the only soft synth he likes. Omnisphere is good, but man, Zebra is just UNBELIEVABLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (otherwise you need more than one instance of massive Yup. Thanks to the Kore browser it won't listen to MIDI Program Changes and there's no way to make it flip between presets - so that's the only way. It would've been better if the entire list of presets was just exposed in default .fxp format with the browser only making parts of the huge list invisible, but alas.
