The CM Genesis is a goody! You can get it on the Computer Music DVD each month along with the Zebra CM, Dominator, AlphaCM, Scanned Synth CM I've had fun with all of these, good times.Warminstrel wrote:Not sure how 'new' it is but the free Genesis VST sounds fookin incredible:

Not many presets but highly tweakable.
Got mine free with CM mag (Had to order a back-issue as found out about it a bit late...)
May be able to get it elsewhere with some nifty searching....?
hello all! so what are the sexiest vsts at the moment?

fairly new, i really like the free roughrider compressor, good to dirty/rough (hence the name) stuff up.
and not new and free, but my alltime faves the whole AAS bundle.

phattest pure analog style VA:
-Sylenth1
-Minimonsta
-Sugar Bytes Unique
-TAL Bassline (free!)
Dirtyest 'n roughest:
-NI Massive
-Operator
Beautiful pads, soundscapes, and all kinds of crazy granular/additive etc:
-Alchemy
-Absynth 4
A little of everything with also hybrid physical modelling:
-Zebra 2
-Reaktor 5 (A lot of everything actually!)
Honorable mention to FM8 for just being the best fm synth out there.

Ya you're right about that one. Octopus is highly underrated. Great sound and one of the best layout I've ever seen in a synth, especially for an FM synth. An extremely clear layout and most things are on the single pane. I tried it out and was super impressed, but I couldn't justify getting another fm synth on top of fm8 and operator (which are both part of packages and won't be going anywhere). But as far as fm synths go, octopus is probably the best balance of ease of use and flexibility/features (it also samples and does additive!).Meef Chaloin wrote:I really like this at the moment (as well Massive, Sylenth etc) - http://www.linplug.com/Instruments/Octopus/octopus.htm
