Soft synths
Soft synths
I know Sylenth and Massive always get mentioned as being the Best soft synths, but what about Reasons Thor and Combinator?? Those things produce unbelievable sounds! The Refills, which some are free, are awesome!! I never hear these mentioned, and to top it off, they Rewire into LIVE!!
Re: Soft synths
Combinator is an awesome synth. I love the filters on that thing!

Re: Soft synths
Many people here look down on reason, as a toy. I personally get a lot of results and inspiration out of reason synthesis.

But seriously, maybe I don't have highbrow soft synth taste, but Reason just always seemed to work for me, been going since ver1

Re: Soft synths
Reason ReWired into Ableton is a killer combination. Used to be my main setup but I fell out of upgrading Reason around v. 4.

No such thing as a bad synth in all honesty.

The user interface on all Logic instruments are pretty bad, it has to be said.

Re: Soft synths
Is Combinator a synth? I thought it was more of a container, like Native Instrument's Kore, or Korg's combi
Re: Soft synths
I've only used the iPad version of Thor, but it's pretty sweet. Huge range of sounds. With all the patching the original Reason version lets you do, I can't imagine it not being pretty awesome.

Re: Soft synths
Combinator enables you to "combine tons of synths or effects to create and use as one instrument.. The possibilities are endless, and the sounds created from a combinator are, can be, HUGE!!thunderkyss wrote:Is Combinator a synth?
