I've looked at Spire, as mentioned in the above post, I've mostly decided on Synthmaster.

Sorry I didn't look thru all comments in this thread. But there is one synth I often use still and it cost only 73.10 USD at the moment, and it is ANA from Sonic Academy. It is not the latest or perhaps coolest synth there is but for most kind of EDM it is very useful, and cheap when looking at value for Money. It is also good for beginners.

Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking... It's my favorite synth right now and I devote a big chunk of my time to learning and programming sounds with it.

As an example, it usually takes me probably 3-5x more time to get something nice out of this one compared to a subtractive synth. As someone said, it's far from a beginner synth (and quite CPU intensive too).

To my knowledge, an FM synth is not quite the first choice for EDM...

...but demo it anyway and see for yourself. And start from 'Innit'...

Oh boy... Firstly, the title of the topic is $100, and I've previously stated that I can't go above that. Secondly, as I've previously stated, I'm looking for an all-round synth, not an analogue modeler. Sorry.

Might help to look through the more recent ones, I've already 99% decided.

I'll take a peek at Ana regardless.

There's no need to be rude. For all you know, i could download the demo and make the perfect patch in 15 seconds.

Just because something is difficult for you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.

I have a six core, 3.5GHz CPU, so I doubt that will be an issue.

That doesn't particularly matter, I still enjoy the sounds that can be produced with FM. Plus, if I can get the CM version by waiting a while, then that's what I'm going to do.

Far from me to be rude, it wasn't my intention at all.

But did you actually demo Bazille or just generalizing? And I'm damn serious when I ask.

Bazille is indeed not easy to master, but I thought we were talking about Bazille CM which is not that complex as the full version.

It's a common reflex on KVR. You could ask for headphone or running shoe recommendations and some people would recommend Diva

I haven't demoed it yet, as I'm not interested in purchasing the full version. I am simply saying that's it's rude to assume that I don't have the experience to use it properly.

Haha. I had hoped I'd be free of it here. How silly of me.

I seldom see people recommending Sylenth anymore, to the contrary more people recommend not to get it because basically it is outdated crap if it weren't for the hype (I wonder where that is taking place, certainly not on KVR) and zillions of sound sets out there

One is for noobs, the other for nerds.

Er, yeah. Feels a bit odd.

Interesting, I had a few reccomendations for Sylenth early on.

Semi-Beginner $100 Synth?
