Almost all of these one but I mention the freeware awesome Crystal and ZEBRA!

EDIT: I forgot!!! How could I forget the _greatest_ imho freeware soft synth ever ... http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1464.html
the farbrausch V2! Check out their demos on scene.org too, only for win

this little lovely is one of my faves!!!

fuk it. es2 all the way. however downloaded massive as a demo and its so sik. it quits after 30 mins though so not much time to get stuck in. nd you have to bounce your recording as an audio file to stop it from disappearing. so it properbly quicker to stick to what i know.

subtractor is da bang bang! i got dat shit loked.

startin 2 lok down malstrom rite now, da sounds are way better, harder 2 control tho, gettin the hang of it.


EDIT: is there ne ways of usin vst' in reason 4 ?

question for the masses.

are people using these soft synths VST within a software DAW or in stand alone?

Crystal is great, if confusing at first.

Speaking of freeware, I keep being amazed at what a variety of sounds I can get out of Synth1:

(Actually, that's a slightly newer version than the one I use.) It's really simple but I think that's forced me to try working with stuff I wouldn't on a 3 oscillator 2 filter glow-up-your-arse super authentic VA - I've recently been playing around with a combination of synced noise and FM to get mental industrial sounds out of it. It's nice for simple bass sounds too.

all brilliant for bass

just looking at thort makes me dizzy haha.

Big up to the +Zeta massive

should really try other stuff but i just love it too much

i'm in the same boat

double post

muon Tau is nice. highly recommend it for subs.
Can use some external processing though...

Crystal 2 is good but I don't know if I find it as useful as I once did.

I use a lot of free shit.

but for commercial plugs I swear by Z3ta and Massive as fat fat synths.
Massive is especially fun to use.

I also like using free stuff and running it through camel space to blow up and complicate the signal chain for some good ol fashioned fun.

Lately i've been putting out simpler sounds from the synths and then splitting slicing chopping processing recombining into groups resplitting refiltering etc, or simply layering dissimilar sounds filtered in to different freqs in a way that makes them sound unified. Can use some simpler sounds and get a nice complex feel. Combine into group post processing and lightly compress together.

It's fun to work in synths like massive, but other than that, I like to take the sound design outside of the synths once I've got that sound that does what I'm looking for. combine with other synths etc for more complex textures. Iunno. I'm no prostar. just where i'm at.

camel space deserves special notice as a good extension to basically any simple/free sound generator. it's wild fun to work in. the randomize button is always fun if you are stuck. click it a few times and you might get some ideas.

operator
analog
sampler
reaktor

s'all good

incase it was missed on the previous page of the post..

are people using these synths in stand alone mode or as vst plug ins?

I really like this:

I've been using this badboy!

The new X-5000 Wobbloid Compflangulator

GOD DAAMN,,THEY LOOK LIKE THE COOLIST MACHINES IN DA WORLD ,,,,,,BUT WHERE DA F**K DO YOU GET THEM BEASTS?????????????

Google the names, download the demos. If you like them, bust out a credit card or rob them. Morality and your income will determine the course.

Buying is much much better.

i know i wish i just had all ov there names ....,,then i too could be-hold the power!!!
