Id have to say that the best software synth would be Reaktor. Although it eats your CPU pwer HD for dinner, its ability to be so diverse is amazing. Apart from that, id have to say that the NI Pro-52 is a necessity in my studio. Its ability to faithfully recreate Prophet-5 sounds is welcomed in my studio. The Pro52 is essential to my setup because when i need strange EFX or jus plain analogue warmth, i find it always delivers.

I agree too, Pro52 is lovely! I also think VAZ is a great bang for your buck!!

Dynamo looks like it's a pretty good value. 25 different reaktor ensembles including drum machines with step sequencers, fm synths, subtractive synths, granular and wavetable synths...all for around $139

I just sprung for Reaktor.

They just got the dude from Sync Modular to work for them. Hmmm. Maybe their filters will improve now.

Rhizomatic Absynth is really amazing, especially for $150.

Ha ha! I kept warning you... SynC Modular was the best software synth buy ever. I registered my copy for $50 in June and anyone who did the same before 30th November has been offered a free copy of Reaktor (see http://www.mtu-net.ru/syncmodular/announce.htm). Dr SynC has terminated the project now (excluding bugfixes) but it garnered a select bunch of genii who really knew the potential of his program. Who knows what miracles Native Instruments, with their DSP knowledge, and Dr SynC with his/her programming brio will conjure up. Native Instruments recognise a savvy user base who will bring out the best in their products when they see one. Keep your eye on NI, VERY interesting things will be happening in the next few months. Expect to see greater sonic bang per CPU cycle and flexibility, and who knows what else...
