Would be a bit easier if you'd tell us what kind of music you do.
Razor from NI and Dune from Synapse Audio are quite good IMO.

Re: Recommend some new soft synths?
I can recommend the following synths.
1. Reaktor - a big load of sound / my most used vst since years
2. Operator - nice n relative simply synth
3. Massive - versatile & good sounding - i love it
4. FM8 - very good Sound & complex engine
5. Synth 1 - THE free synth
6. Analog - really cool & easy to use, a workhorse
I often use Live Sampler/Simpler or Kontakt to turn a simple sound into something.
Nothing new, but new sound is related to knowledge and imagination. That's my opinion.

Re: Recommend some new soft synths?
thanks for the quick responses!
doing mainly dance/hip hop/some dancehall -
I feel like there's room for almost anything as far as synths go these days. ...so I guess that's why I wasn't so specific. My goto synths lately have been Arturia collection, Sugarbytes Unique, FM8 - I'm really quite open to anything. I guess I'm looking for either something super new school digital sounding, OR something totally old school analog - does that narrow it down? hahaha!!! some 90's sounding synths are the only thing that really turns me OFF!

Zebra 2 is next on my list of sound toys to grab when I have a few extra bucks lying around.

omnisphere is reallly good like a quality workstation without the hardware
also absynth is good too for some dark wet sounds

Re: Recommend some new soft synths?
One of the best synths to come along recently is ElectraX by tone2.
The tone2 dev is a bit of a dick to be honest, in fact I think he's a complete ass. However ElectraX is a fantastic synth. They got another guy on support there who is incredibly friendly though.

Besides that Omnisphere is rockin' it as always and Alchemy is pretty darn cool.
