Seriously, which synth do you think has killed sylenth1 in sound quality?
Or doesn't exist yet?

Sylenth1 won again the musicradar's 2013 best VST plug-in synth... it's a fair contest?

Anyway, it seems like Sylenth1 still rules the vsti world, what do you think?

PS. Please be honest, don't say that other synth is better than Sylenth1 just to annoy Lennard, and stuff like that..

Cheers.

I hope you can understand my poor english.

well lots of synths have killed so to speak it imo sylenth is nice for simplicity and does seem to have a warm character, but I do think spire is nicer though and they make updates more often. Others not as simple but better sound quality are zebra and synthmaster.

u-He Diva is miles better in terms of sound quality. However, thats not really what I care about, Sylenth1 simply doesn't deliver the "uncommon" sounds I need, it's fine for basic kiddy Trance though, which it does in great quality and which seems to be what everyone is looking for (boring!).

What does sound quality mean anyway? For many, Diva or Monark seem to be the holy grails of sound quality atm, but what if i don't like analogue emulations as much as the "typical digital VA's", or i don't like the modelled synths at all? All relative... same with Sylenth i guess, if you don't like its sound it's kinda obsolete to discuss about its sound quality.

These synths are not 'killed'. They do not die, they merely fade away and what 'dies' is only the interest in them. What is killed is the support for them, which is a developers suicidal decision and effectively is not the fault of any other synth.

Personally never thought much of it anyway.

I believe that Lennard secretly owns musicradar, and laughs all the way to the bank, or as the Dutch call it - bank....

musicradar?

oh no, for sure not!

sylenth1 is great if you looking for something like the access virus sound itb, (of course not the latest virus models - i mean the old virus A or B).

so if you are in trance there's nothigng bad about sylenth1 but time move on and i find that the whole sound is to specific not very appealing anymore.

Its never ruled my vsti world. Its a horrible cheesy synth. I think its very genre specific, and the ppl who like that genre are they same ppl who vote in CM polls....

Sylenth1

Many synths sound better in some respects than Sylenth1. But for those characteristics that are its special domain (extremely fast, clear and punch sounds) Only Spire can compare and even take it's place.

But even then it's not Sylenth1, it's another synth that shares many of it's strengths. More so than anything else I've used.

In my mind, Spire is the new Sylenth1 of sorts.

Wait, I thought Sylenth1 killed the Virus,...or maybe it was the other way around? All these synths killing each other, such a travesty.

Yes or the developer not telling if they have some new features planned.
Compare it to how companies like Camel Audio or U-he handle this communication.

The fact that after all these years that Sylenth has been out there, we still find discussions like this here on such regular basis, almost says enough

Which synth is killing Sylenth1?
