Yeah, i tried demo's of discovery and it doesn't sound better than synth one its a very average soft synth. But i didn't know that synth one was modeled after the nl2

Well I'm not one 100% sure if it is sound wise, but all paramaters in Synth1 are mapped to the same midi CC messages as the NL 2 parameters. So synth1 patches and NL2 patches are exchangeable between them from what I've heard.

Agreed as well. The best thing I ever did was get a Virus Ti.

This may sound a bit ironic coming from a guy with more than 4 dozen (yes, legitimate) soft synths, but I don't think you need anything else. You've got the subtractive and hybrid synths and sampler covered and a nice set of audio processing plugins. I'd suggest taking the time to learn those first and figure out what your needs/desires are. I imagine that you'll have your hands full learning Cubase 4, so more toys may just slow you down.

That said, if you are just dying to spend money (and, who isn't?), I'd second the Atmosphere and FM8 recommendations. Atmosphere (a rompler) is a highly specialized pad machine with a huge library and FM8 is one of the best FM synths on the market today. Other soft synths to consider:

- Rob Papen Blue - hybrid FM/subtractive synth

- Rob Papen Albino 3 (subtractive synth similar to Vanguard, but I like this one better)

- Nexus2 - another rompler that was just updated as of last week; some people hate it, others love it (and, unfortunately, now that Nexus has been mentioned, this thread will likely be hijacked by Nexus haters who seem to have nothing better to do)

- Cakewalk Rapture - phenomenal multi-element synth

- NI Massive - Another subtractive synth, but a massive one.

As always, demos are a good place to start.
