Your go-to synth(s) by sound (pg. 3)
View this Thread in Original format

Bass: Trillian / V-Station / Novation Bass Station / KORG Polysix
Leads: Sylenth1 / V-Station / Predator
Pads: V-Station / Nexus 2 / Sylenth1 /
Plucks: V-Station / Sylenth1
Ambient & Random: Gladiator / NI Massive

Of course, there are a whole host of others which I use, but there are what I would call my 'go to' synth's.

I think my favourite ever audio proocessing vst would have to be the Waves Renaissance Compressor or the Sonnox Oxford Inflator. Both are so true it is unreal.

Bass: Mostly 3xOsc, but sometimes Sytrus if I want a special timbre.
Plucks: Sytrus
Arps: Sytrus
Pads: Sytrus, sometimes from the demo of Harmless, Toxic Biohazard or Ogun
Leads: 3xOsc and Sytrus
SFX/Wierd: Tweaked samples and Sytrus

So in bottom line, no VST's, I only use FL Studio 9 native plugins.

I've never ever heard anyone mention the Jupiter 8 by Arturia - it's been in FM's recommended synths for ages though (mind you I don't trust thier league tables at all based on past experience and I'm sure they can be commercialy motivated - as example suboombass has been thier number 2 recommended softsynth for months yet no one but no one on these forums seems to rate it).

Haven't used the Arturia synths - IDK, maybe I'm weird, but I really get turned off by software companies that try too hard to make their products look, sound, feel, smell, etc. "analogue". It's such an overrated concept IMO anyway and I'll die a happy man if I never have to hear another f***ing "Lucky Man" demo - that song sucks, the sound sucks, and the solo sucks (there, I said it! :p ). That said, I love what FXpansion has done with their DCAM synths. I used to love and recommend SubBoomBass, but since getting DCAM (Strobe, in particular) and Trilian, SBB has pretty much gone unused and will likely hit the KVR marketplace at some point.
