Good VSTi's/AU's for Soft Synths

Post by 434Live » Mon Aug 20, 2012 11:21 pm

Anyone know any good soft synths that are in VST or AU format. Price range doesn't matter (but it would be nice if they were free!!).


Thankz :lol:

yep ... own both... different synths altogether...
FM8 is a recreation of the famous Yamaha DX7 'Frequency Modulation' synth (with additional tweaks...)

http://www.fm8tutorials.com/category/tutorials/

Massive is a "Virtual Analog" synth a la Access Virus...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_mo ... ynthesizer
http://www.massivesynth.com/category/tutorials/

Reaktor and Absynth are worth looking in to imo...

Yes, I got fm8!!!!
Thanks 3dot for those links!!
I been using fm8 for a good distorted bass sound and it really works. Only set back is it takes away a lot of my CPU. Its still good though, Thanks everyone! :D
