Synth purchase recommendations

Hi guys,



I’m currently looking to buy one more softsynth. I already got Ableton Live + Sylenth1. My budget is at max 200€, and my soundstyle is trance, techtrance, proghouse.



I actually read about different synths, which include the Novation V-station, Vanguard, z3ta, Rob Papen BLUE and a few others.



Which one would you prefer and why :slight_smile:



Thanks so far

i would say you already have the best synth for the sounds you want.



V-station is great though and i know Joey-V used it for most sounds on almost all of his Tech-Trance

vanguard is a really good synth for trance

What about buying more Ram or another Hard Drive or even another Monitor (Screen) for your computer?

I picked a 17" flat for E40 recently - Very happy.

Also got a Nocturn as well for E50 - Haha! Lots of bargains 2nd hand at the moment! Hard times & all! :smiley:

This is true, however, I would get DCAM and stick with that. You can make about any sound with it and it sounds AMAZING… and that’s not even with any effects layered on top!

totally agree that D.cam is the best sounding synth with out effects and once you start adding effects it sounds even better. but i have to add warning that this lushness comes at a price of CPU cycle more so in unison mode.



but its worth every cycle

You meant his one, right: FXpansion - DCAM Synth Squad ?



I heard both good and bad things about Vanguard - but with just 90€ it has a pretty good price if I don’t buy the expansions. And I absolutely don’t know whether I need them, i.e. if they are worth the money
