OS X Soft Synths

List your favorite soft synths for OSX here. Comments and reviews as well. Give your system setup as well.

Here are mine so far.

Absynth 2: Especially when using vocals or drums to create really interesting sounds.

Reaktor 4: When I can get it to work, makes awesome sounds. Heavily evolving textures and sounds.

Logic Synths: ES1 etc. I really like these, great sounds, as well as low cpu usage. The vocoder kicks ass.

Malstrom: Still wanna my favorite synths. I think i have spent way too much time with it. I have like 300 of my own presets for it.

Subtractor: paired with the scream processor, makes some sick sick basslines.

Thats about all I can think of right now, I have had my nose in hardware alot lately.

the only softsynth i have on osx is sampletank 1.1.9 [free].

havent really played with it much so cant give a full review. it is pretty nice from what i've seen so far. i run it thru protools 6.1.2. it also comes in vst format as well.

u can download it and its instruments for FREE from:
http://www.sampletank.com/Main.html?STFreeDwn

it is also free for the windows users as well!

as for my system software setup: protools 6.1.2, ableton live 3.02, sampletank free, audacity [a free osx audio editor]

Powerbook

Well you could run Cubase on your powerbook if you wanted to. I run logic and cubase actually. Depending on what I want to do. Secondly you can run VSTi inside of logic via a wrapper that
fxpansion makes. Works very well.

If you are still thinking about buying a powerbook, you should give me a ring, I work for an apple dealer in seattle.

Talk to you soon.
