sadly, many commercial plugs arent made for us mac users....everything by rgc audio sticks out in this case.
Listing platforms is probably worthwhile if you're trying to make a definitive list.
I tend to think the Virus PoCo shouldn't be on the list, since the plug-in is merely a front-end for a hardware DSP synthesizer. If Virus Poco is on the list, the Virus TI must be also, as well as nord modular and G2.
And, since assuming few people on this board pay for their software anyway, why not throw in some top notch effects that I know none of you have paid for, like the Waves packages. (Not trying to be confrontational, just observational...I use the TC Powercore platform and Logic (both uncrackable) so all my HiQ effects are paid for by definition, so I've a clean conscience :) )
Along that train of thought, there are some worthwhile free FX that could be listed as well, i.e. the best free reverb, best free compressor, and so on. Maybe extend it further, and mention the best commercial VST reverb, EQ and compressor (Sony Oxford anyone? Oh wait, fails my Virus guidelines). If this is the ultimate guide for the best tools for trance production, these are must haves. |

i tend to agree. hardware synths are basically just a box with dsp chips inside. the OS, the modules - they are all coded in software to operate on the dsp. virus powercore is the virus b OS and most of the same code only it is designed to operate on a PCI dsp farm. if you include that under softsynths you may as well put on the creamware dsp synths too because they are phat.
on the subject of vst effects - there really is just too many good ones to list :O theres still a whole bunch of freebie synths that are just incredible that have yet to make the list! i should start compiling some names and pics... |

Nice list of VST instruments. But, what about the Arturia Minimoog V? Although I tend not to use VST instruments these days, the Arturia Minimoog V, along with some of the other VST instruments already posted, is still one of my favorites for Trance music.

excellent for fat leads, basses pads and efx

Short example from a fresh and new sound in the trance world, think I'm gonna call it a megasaw or something.
Did try the phaser while recording :D
