Your favourite VST...?
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 1:09 pm
OK, there was a talk about comparison between hardware and software instruments.
There was a talk about a favourite synth.
So, now I'll ask you: What is your favourite software synthesizer and sound module? The second one is also important because despite huge amount of data to be installed in comparison with synths, the number of this kind of products is still growing.
I'm not gonna talk about advantages and disadvantages, about women's breasts (Greetings AMR...
)...
What do you use most often and why?
I'll write about 3 synths and 3 sound modules:
My favourite soft synths are Korg M1 VST and Wavestation VST, because of sounds they are, let's say in 98%, the same (I'm not sure whether they are exactly) and popular especially in 1990's. It's a brilliant duo for creating 'New Age' pieces.
Also "rgc:audio z3ta+" is one of my favourites, because of 6 oscillators and wavetable synthesis, so that gives the ability to create very warm pads and strings, or deep basses.
From sound modules the best for me is still Atmosphere from Spectrasonics. It's not a new product, but for me it still sounds fresh (Greetings, Eric! )
Sonik Synth 2 has a great sample library of analog and digital synths, samplers, drum machines (acoustic instruments, such as pianos, guitars, orchestral instruments too)... and simple waveforms of them, so you can create your own patch quite quickly.
EastWest Colossus is good, but really huge (32 GB of data). There are high quality multisamples of acoustic instruments and other things, listed in General MIDI 'table' (from 'Acoustic Piano' to 'Gun Shot' - you know what I mean
). Very useful in pop and jazz.
By the way - I'm glad to have Keystation Pro-88, cause it helps me a lot with tweaking synth patches.
Regards,
Mike
