Your favorite substractive soft synth and why....
View this Thread in Original format
DjStephenWiley
With the ever changing environment and more and more soft synths coming quicker and quicker, there are a lot of options out there. As a lover of subtractive synthesis, I'd like to know what everybody else considers their best and more importantly why. The synth does not have to be a purely subtractive synth, however; please answer the question as if the only features you could use in the synth were subtractive.

Right now, Minimonsta is at the top of my list. I expect to see a lot of Sylenth1 answers.

Don't forget to elaborate.

I am loving the Minimonsta because of its insanely mean sound and extremely straight forward subtractive approach. I've never laid hands on a Moog, but if it's like this, I can only imagine the fun turning those knobs. Minimonsta is an absolute bomb shell for bass, leads, and even some quite deranged FX.

KORG Legacy Edition synths and impOSCar are the best-sounding subtractive VSTs I own.

- sounds great!
- excellent UI
- big feature set
- adds HCM synthesis
- love the filters (sound and variety)
- excellent support and communication from the developers (v2.2 is on the way and adds a ton of new features!)
- great FX

It can sound "big", but that's not its strenght sound-wise IMO. I like it because it sounds "alive". :toocool:

samples would be good to add no?

or wait is that another thread

Sylenth1. Awesome synth, however I dislike its onboard effects.

Sylenth1 for its great analog sounds.



FM8 for its great FM synthesis , and its great 'digital' sounding waveforms. Its actually useful for creating nice leads.



Predator , for its nice analog sounds. The difference between it and Sylenth one is... erm it has a subosc function and FM/RM synthesis? lol
