In these days of Omnisphere and alike, I still find myself reaching for the CPU-friendly VST's on a regular basis.
Once I have, say, 3 instances of Omnisphere, Alchemy & Sylenth, and 6 instances of Stylus RMX, my Quad core 32 bit XP, PC is struggling for air....
So, for the additional synths thereafter i'm looking towards Albino, Sylenth, Blue etc...
So, i'm wondering what other CPU & RAM-friendly synths are worth considering? The best option would be a full-on Win 7 64bit machine, of course, with 12gb RAM.... but that will have to wait a year!
Best, Paul

Linplug Cronox 4 is remarkably light on cpu, considering what it does.

REFX's Nexus is easy on both on the CPU and RAM. There's supposed to be an update coming soon that speeds up the already fast load times too.

Thanks for all the replies!!
I already have Preditor which is pretty good on CPU, most of the time.
Like the sound of the Korg Legacy synths, Dune, and Helix. I'm sure I have a CM copy of Rhino somewhere too!
Anything CPU-friendy for drums/percission? I use Stylus RMX a lot but it can blow out in the end.
Best, Paul
