Best softsynth 2009/10

Post up your top ten list and maybe we can have a vote on this and get a SONIC ACADEMY TOP TEN going, its gotta be less one sided than a magazines point of view because its based on user’s voting and not advertising.



FXpansion D.Cam Synth Squad

Native Instruments Absynth 5

Lennar Digital Sylenth1

Arturia Jupiter 8V

Novation V-Station

Native Instruments Massive

Rob Papen Predator

Native Instruments FM8

DiscoDSP Discovery

Gmedia Minimonsta

DCAM

Sylenth

Minimonsta





Thats really all I use… I have NI Komplete, but I dont really use it for its synths. I would just use them for presets and whatever. I use the other synths to program sounds from scratch.

Vember Audio Surge

DCAM

Sylenth1

Camel Audio Alchemy

Albino 3

Gforce Minimonsta

Gforce impOSCar

Reaktor



The above are probably my most used just because i know them the most and find them more usefull…



Massive

FM8

Sugar Bytes Unique

Way out ware TimewARP 2600

Zebra



And these are more niche plugins i just use from time to time although they are just as awesome as the rest…

Edit: oops saw top 10 now but ehhhhhh

George…lemme give you some advice. You have two really good soft synths. Yes, there are better out there IMO, but DO NOT GET ANY MORE! Use what you have to its fullest extent. Dont make the mistake that I did by getting a ton of different synths. Personally, I use Abletons Sampler more then I do actual synths.

once we get enough synths we will make a multiple choice poll and vote in our top list

i have hundreds most of them are crap but the only softsynth i really use is sylenth, i recently bought z3ta or something because it was going cheap but havent used it yet,

i also use blofeld, mks50 and tb303 and machine drum hardware on most tracks
