Man, that's from the wrong book, this thread is about libraries

Excluding drums plugins i've stopped\deleted\uninstalled all sampler plugins because I prefer to concentrate on creativity rather than put me to buy a million hard disk and then put me to categorize these endless sound libraries...

... Sure, maybe Rock is more simple on composing (not need a lot of automations etc etc) but there are a lot of synthesizers (Moogy, Oberheim, Mellotrons etc etc) that sound great and take up a few megabytes..!

mellotron isn't exactly a synthesizer though. it's a (sampled) sampler.

It's all about free running oscillators and dynamic module interactions using code in real-time.

Because this was posted in the Sample Libraries forum, I assumed the OP was referring to sampled synths, as opposed to synths that play samples. The answer to that would be None. Sampling synthesizers is just silly. That's like taking a photo of a pair of expensive shoes and taping them over your sneakers.

But if you're talking about sample-based synthesizers such as Omnisphere, the answer would be Two: Omnisphere and Alchemy. You'll be old and gray before you've exhausted all the possibilities. I know this because I am old and gray, and I'm still finding new stuff to do with them.

I think they would have to be able to import samples then, which would increase the list to a couple of Tone2s, Synthmaster, a couple of Cakewalks, and of course, Alchemy.
Omnisphere is a fail in that case. Relative more to the group of those factory only wavetable and sample synths like Blue II, et cetera.

bbaggins Ultra Cool ! This will go global within days, with companies making sticky-backed-plastic versions of top designs.

Those in the know will look down at your stick ons and with a look of evident disdain just utter; "phhh.....bbaggins" before they turn away.

How many synth libraries should you have?
