Well, not Cakewalk

It's actually Gibson causing all that.

Does this sum up the previous link?

Nevermind...ascii art needs work!

Missed your art, dandezebra.

Not mine, but a quick Google search and copy-paste can be fun!

This is as good as it's going to get!

I like various synths and there are some excellent developers out there... both as developers and people... but the one company that consistently stands out for me is u-he

Couple categories come to mind that you do not have in your 10... value and diversity.

As an example of what I mean by diversity I'll use u-he. You can do stuff with Bazille that cannot be done in Diva, Zebra etc. They sound distinct from each other and cover a range of different territories. Some companies offerings sound too similar to each other or kinda too much fill the same role.

By value, I mean value over time. Here I also find u-he exemplary.

Updated!

Vengeance - currently the only company that has a great future vision what a synth (Avenger) should be like in 2017 and later!

Ok, their website could be a bit more up to date, it does not matter that much, it does the job. But in terms of current and planned features, sound, ui and ux, speed of development - nothing compares.

Daniel from Westgate Sounds has always been fantastic too.
