Oh yeah, how could I forget Absynth as one of my go-tos for SFX/weirdness?

Do you have a good sampler (e.g., Kontakt, Halion)?

For sound effects and weirdness for me, still nothing beats Reason (well, maybe Max/MSP, but I'm not always in the mood to tackle that).

This is pretty much all Reason, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOJu4c_Ssw4

Same with my other noise tracks. The cable system is brilliant for hooking up weird configurations and making twisted sounds.
