just wondering if anyone knows a synth with cooler sounds and easy to program, sylenth is a bit too candy shop or something, i like it but really its not interesting enough or something
???
i dunno, im stumped
don’t really know what you mean but sylenth1 has one of the best sounds for a softsynth + Fantastic Effects + easy to use + flexible + reasonably priced + huge bank of 1400 + presets.
a simple synth that sounds good would be
Arturia MiniMoog V (not the modular version if you want simplicity)
MiniMonsta
Massive (looks scary but its very simple and routing is simply drag and drop)
Strobe
don’t really know anymore that sound as good as sylenth and are as easy to program as sylenth, from the list above i would say that massive is probably the only one that will also cover the same range of sounds as sylenth.
Sylenth IMO is not the best sounding VST out there. It sounds great, dont get me wrong, but its not the BEST. However… It is the easiest IMO. Period.
When it gets crazy is when you add tons of modulation options. It can be really confusing if you dont know what to look for.

how can synths with less Oscillators and less modulation options (i know strobe has more mod) produce a larger range of possible sounds.
I’m not big on synths, but I’d say go through this list, and d/l the demos of the synths that you like the look of. Try before you buy is always the best option imo

you obviously caught my short sighted reply lol
IMO Sylenth is good but not good enough for me .
I mean with Sawer i can route at least 3 or 4 instances of sawer and get richer and better sounds than Sylenth ( Bouncing to audio then using a sampler of course)
the only thing is that i use a sampler for it since it lacks LFOS and modulation features .
but that depends in what you want to do .

surely that works on the flip to ??? if you route 3-4 sylenths you’ll then get a richer sound than sawer.
Sylenth means Bellwhiff in Polish 
if you want something that’s different or more interesting you could go for Motu MX4 (mac only) or Native Instruments FM8.
Depends on what you want it for.
for different sounds then D.cam is the best sounding vst i’ve heard its also got a huge scope with fusor.
for the same price zebra 2.5 is another synth that kills sylenth,sound and feature wise.love using it with waldorfs wavetables.

The modulation options in DCAM are NUTS!
