Seems like every thread has been using this con to make points. So, generally speaking which low cpu synths are worth noting by you?

Post

Sylenth1. Just great CPU <-> sound quality ratio.

May not be the biggest CPU slayer of them all anymore, but, not exactly what i'd call "low on CPU".

Well it does make my CPU go pretty low when it comes to free resources :hihi:

Sunrizer (but not happy with the developer about support)
Dune 2 (can get also high on cpu if you go wild)
Otherwise everything within Logic Pro

Love TAL's stuff particulaly TAL-U-NO-LX ( https://tal-software.com/products/tal-u-no-lx ) and they don't ever seem to push my CPU.

+1 on Logic Pro's synths. I still use the shit out of ES2 and sculpture.

Third party for me would be Ultra Analog and Filterscape VA

Sylenth1 rules, and Loomer Aspect is full of character.

FM8, Rapture & Hydra

Indeed. Just yesterday i layered a "press one key" 30 arp, 40 synth, 50 FX multi patch and it is still below 30% cpu usage (al cores). Not sure if i could create such a "massive and complex" patch with less cpu with another tool.

+1 for Sylenth.

Dune (original, not 2) has a good quality/CPU ratio. It's a payware synth but also has a free version (minus the effects section).

Korg M1 is another favorite low CPU synth/rompler.

synthmaster, sylenth1.
Gforce synths (espcially imposcar) have very nice sound/cpu-hit ratio.
