Download and try these synths below:

Sad to see Dune 3 didn't make the list. Other than that pretty solid. :)

[furiobisotti]

I would start trying Massive X. Very original, extremely powerful. Nearly flexible as a modular (you can change wiring of all modules). Maybe not easy, but very rewarding when you get what you need. Anyway, every sound designer has his tastes, obviously

[dustyjeffers]

Couldnt agree more with this list. Excited to see a Preset playthrough coming! The only one I dont like is Ana2. But SERUM is def the best. Great video

[trueneutral]

Wonderful list, but you have a super glaring omission that is just as powerful as any of the most loaded synths here (Dune 3). Also, if you like Diva and the U-HE Line, you'll also like anything made by AirMusic (VacuumPro, Hybrid 3 and Xpand are incredible).

Another incredible line are the Tone2 Synths (Gladiator and Icarus especially)

Others not mentioned that are good: Sylenth, Spire, Carbon Electra, F-EM (powerful), Izotope Iris 2, Synthmaster Pro/One, and last but not least check out Thorn by Dmitry Schthze.

Lists like these are really a personal choice. It's like who is the greatest band ever. Everyone has different tastes.

Diva by u-he is excellent. My favorite all time emulation that hits the mark (the interface is not perfect and takes some learning) is OP-X Pro II by SonicProjects. It's just fantastic.

[saricubra]

I basically use Zebra 2 for anything. Even bass, 4 osc FM, and i know how to make the algorithms.

Learning curve is way higher than the rest of the synths on the list, but it's worth it. I created some metallic pads and i tought that it was made with real instruments, 0 samples, pure synthesis, even percussive ones and other absolutely insane stuff...

It feels like my creativity is limited with others on the list minus anomalies like UVI Falcon and Omnisphere 2, or some synths from Arturia and Roland Cloud.

Great review and I agree with most of your thoughts on these~!~ this was just a little fast paced for me...I like a little more time with the demo part!! Thanks again for a great

[pakfumejia]

brother you make great reaper content! subscribed!

[GoblinGoodfella]

Xpand2 and Sonic Cat's Purity should be up there!

[kdg]

look into phaseplant, my personal favorite

[shh_you_are_wrong]

Dune 3, Viper, Synthmaster, Absynth

[bryanblackburn]

Synthmaster, OPX pro II, Xils lab, gforce, arturias other synths, softube, synapse audio, and I agree with Uhe, Omnisphere, and NI but IK is also worth it on the usage of bread and butter sounds like NI is. Oh and I may want to include UAD synths in here as well.

[peevee]

UVI Vintage Vault gets heavy usage here.

[diegoalejo]

the bests for me are Ana, Nexus3, Serum, Repro, Hive, Triton, Pigments and I´d add Heatup 3 (similar to Nexus)

[jeffreyhanc]

Great list! And I too am a U-he fanatic so had no problems with half the list being from said company:)

But… ANA2? I could think of several synths richer and deeper than that, starting with Dune 3, which is a FANTASTIC synth.

[mrfuzztone]

So many good VST synths. Sylenth1 is still good. Even got a recent update. Of course U-He synths and Omnisphere and the others on your list. Avenger is overlooked.
Dune 3 is often overlooked. It has great sounds and Kevin Schroeder doing presets. Pigments is gaining popularity and power and now v4. Viper is good for PC users.
Arturia synths keep getting better such as the SQ80. Roland Cloud legendary synths are good for classic sounds and IK Syntronics 2 Max. GForce came out with a killer Oberheim OB-E 8 voice. And Cherry Audio. Good Full Bucket synths for a donation. NI Massive X has great sounds. XILS classic synths. And more ...
I use PluginGuru Unify to manage synths and presets. Also use it to create layers of synths and add vst effects and automated MIDI options.

[Apolyn]

thank you so much for presenting repro to me shits amazing

[tri-unetrl]

I can't believe UVI Falcon 2.8 ain't mentioned here! 🤦🏽

[TheAtheistworld]

Guys.
But is there a synth with RANDOM generator of sounds/patches/pads that randomly creates a synth sound of various complexity, so I don’t have to create it from scratch. And if I like that randomly generated sound/patch I can further edit/modify it and save it for future use. I guess it would be some kind of FM synth etc. Right?
Thnxx ❤
