If You Could Only Master One Soft Synth - Which Would It Be?

[egbert101]

Off the top of my head, I'd say Reaktor.
When I look at some of the instruments that have been made in it like Monark, Form and others, it appears there's nothing it can't do with enough know how and patience.

Most Reaktor creations i've heard so far are absolutely top notch (at least the ones from Reaktor 6), so, yep.

But Reaktor is more a modular environment or platform, not a soft synth. I included it anyway, because at least it offers blocks, so acts as a modular synthesizer. But my question was really about one software synthesizer to master, not about what has the most creative potential. Two different things.

Wow, no Waldorf love here. I absolutely love Waldorf's Nave and wish they came out with an exactly matching hardware version of this synth.
