Diva is the right choice for synthwave, there are preset packs in that genre made for Diva.

Many synths can do synthwave, as long as they have filters and oscilators modelled or inspired by classic analog synths form the 80's, for example Serum while being very modern it also has waveforms from some old synths and various filtermodels that help it to reach that kind of sounds:

Bazille isn't suited for Synthwave. Your best best is Sonicprojects OP-X Pro-II for all your eighties synth sounds:

Interesting video (despite the terrible dialect of that chatterbox

), which shows again that which plugin you use is not really that important except that you save a lot of time when it already ships with factory presets for a given genre.

Yeah, most modern subtractives would do.

Synthwave isn't in the 'synth'....it's in the 'wave'

Sanford Cobalt and Digital Suburban Dexed both have that typical 80's sound, and for free (32/64-bit vst).

You can get that sound from many synths. Synthwave is not based on any extraordinary sounds which require something really special. Bazille can definitely provide all the usual sounds one would need for Synthwave. Recently I've made lots of sounds that can be used in Synthwave in Zebra...

Synth1 will do it with ease too.

Is Bazille suited for Synthwave and any other good Synths or Synthwave?
