AmpliTube 3 Custom Shop for all your amp and stomp effect needs is an obvious one. T-Racks 3 for all your vintage compressors and EQs. CSR for your Classik Studio Reverb, And SampleTank for a whole workstation's worth of sounds ready to go right right at your fingertips.

I counter IKM with my top5-top20:

Komplete 8

It's really ridiculous how much stuff is in that thing.

I am biased much also,
and recomend Phonics plugs!
However here are my 5 other than my home-grown->
DiscoDSP Thrillme
AcidDose Xhip
Admiral Quality Naive LPF
D16 Nepheton
SonicCharge MicroTonic
I chose these coz they cover a lot of sonic ground,
and also have a little mojo!

Hey. I'll definitely give Amplitube the nod. Smile I'll also throw in Alchemy, Mix Control Pro, ARIA Player, and BFD Eco. I could also make a case for Crystal, Rhino, Epic Verb, SampleTank, and anything by H. G. Fortune.

Zebra 2.5 for all your sound design and experimenting needs is an obvious one. Variety of Sound for all your vintage compressors and EQs. Valhalla Room for your classic studio reverb, And FM8 for a whole workstation's worth of clanging metallic sounds ready to go right at your fingertips.

These threads are always enjoyable! Although I know some tire of them.

Synths:-

In no particular order:
DCAM Synth Squad
Zeta2
FabFilter Twin2
Rapture
Omnisphere

Effects:
Fabfilter Total bundle (I know it's more than 5 but they're just awesome!)
2C Audio Reverbs (Aether and Breeze)
UAD-2 (massive passive, Studer A800, EMT 250, EMT 140)
T-Racks3 Deluxe

and lastly I'll throw in Komplete 7 (FX, synths, samplers etc)
for orchestral VSL for me

Cool, list time! Haven't done this in a while...

Just going by the ones I use the most/really depend upon right now -

Virtual instruments:
Diva - creamy goodness
Zebra - all-round greatness
Iris - fab mysteriousness
Geist - The workhorse
Diversion - modern prodigiousness

Effects for fun:
Turnado - mangle me musically
Effectrix - set it 'n' forget it instant whackerizer
Sequent - modular mangling
Stutter Edit - hands-on mangling
MFM - a true come-hither beauty with astounding depth-epth-epth-pth-th-th-h

Effects for seriousness:
Reelbus - hisssssssss and glue
Stripbus - console capers
Equality - beautiful sound
Compassion - sound and fury
Elephant - ties it all together


Just noticed that I should have named 10 in each category just to cover the ones I use regularly. Shocked Oh well, another list will come around I'm sure.
