For a reasonable investment, what are your top 5 commercial synths for under $100 ?

My list (in no particular order)

Vanguard
Rhino
Wusik
EVE
STS-21/24

impOSCar
ToxicIII
Wusikstation

Only 3 for now...

IIRC, I don't think Rhino can be purchased under $100 (unless 2nd-hand).

Wusik
Kubik V2
FabFilter 1 ( CM edition)
Umm I got Reaktor Session for under $100 (thanks Ttoz)
Limelite (CM edition)
Minogue Luxus , Arppe 2600Va , Chimera , Superwave P8 , Ugo's Motion , Texture & String Theory , Odo's SeeqOne and Purple2 all free.

Ditto Dash Signatures Da'Hornet (CM edition).
That's a great bunch on a budget and then some.

i don't know if I can come up with 5 that I know

rhino's a little over $100

but definitely Filterscape
cause there's Filterscape VA -- which is surprisingly capable on its own
but then there's also the
full blown Filterscape which can work wonders on anything, but esp rhythm work
and the envelope follower Q6 -- which is great for bringing life to samples
[and would make a great combnation with rgc:audio's
SFZ+ which is under $100 and opens up the world of sound fonts]

so there's at least 2 good suggestions

Wusik
Toxic
Rhino
Kubik

Rhino, Pentagon and ImpOscar (99€), and Filterscape ($129) are above the $100 limit

.

I think you can always find impOSCar for $99 on many online shop.

Dash Eve
Linplug Alpha (surprised its not mentioned as much)
GrooveCube Exciton 2(better than many synths much more expensive)
Dash Modelonia (covers PM synthesis very capably for the price)
Kubik (huge)

You could do a lot worse than http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 18&start=0
The price is certainly right

Top 5 commercial synth under $100
