What do you use for Analog, Digital and in between?

[crimsonwarlock]

That synth seldom gets mentioned, the entire brand actually. TAL should do an emulation of the 110F

I used to have an 110F still hate myself for getting rid of it

But I don't look at it as I need an analog sound or a digital sound. I just make sounds.

That's my approach, too.
Thanks for stating it so succinctly.

Not my approach, as I explained earlier here. When I need a certain sound I do think analog-ish or digital-ish, and decide what synth to use based on that..... but they are all software

Mostly I do the same. I pick the synth depending on what kind of sound I need. If not, then just one synth is really enough (which it is for some but not for others). I mean what's the point of having more than one synth if you can get any sound of them equally?

Indeed, different synths do different sounds. Although there is the bread-and-butter sound palette that is pretty much covered with synths like Synth1. That's why I like to have one big synth that does that (for that IS Synth1) and then a few who make nice additions as they can do the more exotic types of sounds.

Actually, to me, it works exactly the opposite way. If you take a common bread and butter sound like *analog brass stabs *, it will sound different in every *good* synth. So that there's no such synth that allow someone to be covered for the whole spectrum of b'nb sounds. Or actually, to be more precise, some synths cover a part of them with different characters that will show A LOT in a mix. Thats why I like having several synths that cover what will maybe sound similar to some people, but are actually different. ymmv

[ChamomileShark]

for analogue synths I use the hardware, a couple of Roland monosynths, a modular and an Oberheim Matrix 1000. I've stopped using virtual analogue VSTs because I can get most of the analogue sounds I want from those.

Other analgue sounds I have as samples - string machines, pianos, mellotrons etc.

Digital I have a Virus B and then I use a bunch of softsynths, some are emulations of hardware, e.g Wavestation, PPG Wave, FM8 - but most are there own thing, Alchemy, the new PPG things, Native Instruments.

[Synchanter]

Tassman and Reaktor are also amazing at being able to do both analog and digital well. You can just build whatever with these modulars.
