I am interested in hearing from the synth savvy liberace like musical masters out there...what do you think are the great, quality, analog quality soft synths out there? Would it be pluggo? reaktor? halion? fm7? i want to seperate the men from the toys so to speak. Some of the synths I have heard sound too campy and cheesy. What are the rich, thick sounding pro soft-synths?

thx for the info.. I guess nobody out there was interested in posting their opinions/preferences in soft synths. Here are mine....hmmm...

I have personally over the last about 6 months got into reaktor (probably my favorite)...PPG (big library, some cool sounds), Plex has some interesting ideas if it just sounded a bit more authentic and...Reason 1 & 2 (im loving some of the Orkester and NN refills), and the Hammond, which is pretty amazing...if you want that specific sound.

As far as the cheezy sounds i was talking about???...believe me, they exist in my world. Some of the sawtooth and such 80's thomas dolby herbie hancock beverly hills cop sounds are very difficult to landscape into something contemporary...for me anyhow.

Thats why i love reaktor. It has truly new, strange at times, but interesting sounds. Any normal man would be a fool to try anything in reaktor short of just opening up the pre-made ensembles/instruments (im sure most of you know)

The great thing is, there are quite a few instruments available. Thats why i think reaktor is pretty insane. Reason2 is catching more and more of my attention for generating synths fast also. i dont have a keyboard, so i generate it all by composing notes in logic or reason...reaktor is a different story all together.
