So far I only use PSYN (comes with Project5) and some freebies like Crystal, SuperwaveP8 and Triangle.

I will be buying VANGUARD as well, when the wife is away!
LOL

Superwave p8 - Good for basic pads

Albino - good for basses and little sounds here and so, nothing big.

Es1 (logic) - I use for really basic basses.

Absynth - All I get from this is basic or really weird

V-station - *See Albino*

FM7 - I aint used this ever, cant get anything good with it.

Pro 53 - I use for pads and a patch I made that sounds like BK-Revelution

Z3ta- Only works with PC but its worth the hard work of exporting wav's to the Mac because its the best Trance soft synth ever.

ABL Bassline - THy' 303 emulator.

pro-53, vstation, vanguard.

Atmosphere for pads and most of my leads.
Triangle II for a lot of hook and bass type sounds (for a free VST this is really, really good).
I've used Absynth in the past but don't really play with it much these days. I may start to again though as I'm working on some atmospheric type sounds that would be real easy with Absynth's automation.

I've been playing around with the Vanguard and Minimoog demos quite a bit, I may buy both of them, though more likely the Minimoog first.

subtractor....malstr�m...

Posted by KilldaDJ on Mar-03-2004 18:35:

vanguard, v station, pro 53, 3xosc, claw, superwave p8, beast and the junglist

i occasionally use the pro 52, but thats for certain sounds etc

Posted by ezbeats on Mar-03-2004 18:59:

i am yet to download any new softsynths, so i use sim synth, 3xosc, and a few others shitty ones. i have only made a few decent variation sounds of these, i guess i don;t really know how to use them.

I have NOTHING to do with that one

Seriously, only begun fiddling with music creation not so long ago (I'm more into the technical side of it as you all know), but I intend to get the theory behind it all too (so I can again help you guys with it ).

So far, z3ta+, Atmosphere and Vanguard seem nice for the "classic" trance stuff. FM7, Absynth and Virsyn Tera/Cube are for the more exotic programmings.

Chip32 is just great for chiptunes (gotta agree, Vanguard has some good waveforms for this too).

Posted by acell on Mar-03-2004 22:02:

subtractor though not so much ne more, malstr�m for my basslines, pro-53 hard leads, vanguard.. learing this but i can see it for more of a dumonde sound that i wan't to play with, supewavep8, great for quick supersaw sounds and Rebirth for all my 909 sounds!

would you also class some VST effects as synths? i mean.. not directly.. but without them i wouldn't be able to make my hard kicks.. so i guess in a way it's a synth Waves Native Platinum Bundle

Vanguard baby! best OSC based VSTi for trance to date..

HOWEVER (this is a big however)

A lot of the time it's leads can sound flat as hell.. When that happens I used sample based VSTis (Atmosphere) or Soundfonts..

and for my insturmental pieces.. I use samples and the Edirol VSTis (Orchestral, Super Quartet)

Posted by /I\ on Mar-04-2004 03:59:

I use all of the above .. kinda got a thing for vanguard just now too, dont want to hump it tho .... not yet anyway .. maybe a little later
