what software synth has the most accomplished and well thought out patches that produce a high quality sound straight out the box?
NI stuff is good for this, but i don't want to use their stuff - any alternatives?
a good range of sounds is important too. e.g. acid sounds, square bass, synth leads, pads etc. |

Sylenth.
Still.
If you want simple dance friendly bread and butter patches. |

| i always though sylenth was something you need to tweak out of to get a decent sound. i'm talking about the patches specifically. |

Sylenth is too limited to tweak the out of. The reason that its so popular is because, despite its lack of depth (i.e., parameters, mod sources/targets), it has a huge sweet spot. You almost have to work to make it sound bad. And, yeah, that makes it popular with beginners, but mostly because it has a large selection of usable presets and there are countless third-party preset banks for it. |

| Why do you all assumed he wants a beginner synth? He asked which soft synths produces the highest quality in terms of sound. |

Nobody assumed that the OP wants a beginner synth. My comment was in response to the guy before me who tried (failed) to make the condescending remark that Sylenth is a beginner synth. And, yes, it's very popular with newbs because of its presets (which the OP did ask about), but that doesn't make it a beginner's synth. |

Zebra?
IDK about that. Great synth, certainly, but not great presets IMO, especially not for what the OP is looking for (i.e., "acid sounds, square bass, synth leads, pads etc."). YMMV, I guess. |
