A good Vst for HardTrance?

Whats a good Vst or Vst's for hardtrance, and maybe DnB?. Not really sure if there pure 303 or not? Also you think the 3xOsc can pump some trance/ HardTrance/ Dnb leads or bass's?

Also i might be looking for a Co op. But highschool is getting in the way.

Justin!

i like z3ta+.. it has some wicked presets that can be even more wicked with some tweaking.. the abl bassline can do some sick 303 sounds... id stay away from the vanguard at all cost...

i wouldnt know, i sequence in FLStudio, it has a built-in sampler so i don't use an external sampler.

I think z3ta+ and V-station would serve you well....

z3ta+ maybe
v-Station.. meh.. no

if you want good strong hard trance leads that just peice the air and rip your nuts off then you can't go past the pro-53

you won't go wrong with this puppie

V-station is way more powerful than most people think. I've heard some ripping stuff programmed in it.. my personal favourite VSTi

If you want hard trance streight out of the box.. stay away from Vstation.. but if you know what your doing.. you will get the best results..

i'm definatly not saying it's not powerful. Far from it. And i do know how to program it, but from my experances i've achieved better sounds (for german hard trance) from the po-53 then pro-53 then i have from vStation...

still.. good synth tho

Juno x2 isn't bad

Here's what usually get the most use in my tracks:

Synths
NI Pro-53 - does just about anything well
AudioRealism BassLine - 303 acid, as well has hard ass bass sounds
LinPlug Albino - wicked leads, great SFX. this synth has a fantastic modulation matrix and you can do some wicked LFO effects.
ReFX Vanguard - good for little background parts because of the arpeggiator and gate effects. always needs extra processing to toughen it up though (distortion, filters etc...)

Samples
LinPlug CronoX 2 - great for simple samples like beat loops or vocals that you want to filter and mess with. also use it for limited frequency range synth samples like bass. very small footprint.
Halion 2 - for multisamples

Drums
LinPlug RM3 - simple flexible drum sampler. of course, you need good samples to begin with
Waldorf Attack - can get some messed up percussive sounds from this drum synth
