they're like hot liquid sex. i have all kinds of different bass patches that range from standard to unique. i have basses that sounds like your standard hoover and reese bass, to some deep aggressive scorn-type basses. i've over written most of the presets, because it's super easy to make cool shit if you know basic subtractive synthesis.

and they have the VCO drift simulator to get those off-tune boards of canada wavering pads. totally fresh..

highly recommend

Carbon (legacy edition)

Carbon 2 is good, but the original carbon synth sounds... beefier to me.

hammerhead kicks for Techno. Never used it for Dubstep drums tho.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

^^^^ I'm sure the FM8 is a killer synth, but I just can't wrap my head around the fucker. I open it up, do this: :o , and close it carefully.
