Best synths for smooth lead timbres

If massive is one of the best synths for squelchy, unnatural sounds, what synth is best for smooth, soft, buttery type leads? Nexus seems too limiting but it seems they have a nice base of samples.

Also, Massive isn't the best for squelchy leads, TB303 is.

Massive is great if you are writing Tech House. Not as good for Trance, but I use it a lot for bass when I'm writing in either genre.

This one's sweet and it's FREE.

I used it for a fairly mellow lead on my last song (in case you couldn't tell by my title for the patch I was using).

It may be obtained, here.

Granted I'm just a noob compared to you guys
But I've heard some pretty nice sounds come out of Thor ranging from
Warm pads to nice sounding leads..
To some pretty hektic sounds..
Personally I would have trouble making most of them lol
But I think overall Thor can produce your nice leads..

Nexus is a rom synth isn't it?

O yah...Crystal is very good for soft and fine timbres, one if its strengths, besides being free.

If it's not sampling, there a big chance thor can do it.
