My guess: Research for market driven web blogs. Or something similar.
Best all round soft synth?

Dune 3. It’s been a synth I ignored for a while. However it’s a fantastic all rounder. Doesn’t do everything granted but has a huge range enclosed within a simple UI. Audio rate modulation and awesome filters round it off.
Wishes: more refined layer editing and a more elegant mod matrix. But… I’ll take it as is any day!

Baah, if you're going to quote something like that, do it correctly!

Dune 3 is definitely one of the best imo.Soundsauca wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 6:17 pm Dune 3. It’s been a synth I ignored for a while. However it’s a fantastic all rounder.

You don’t have to believe him but he’s definitely not lying you can pretty much create any kind of Synth sound you want within Falcon. And this is before any expansions or additional libraries are added to it. You don’t even need additional libraries to get mostly any synth tone you want. And the expansions are dirt cheap at $39 retail and usually on sale for 50% off.foosnark wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 1:57 pmSomehow, I doubt this very much.Liquid lino wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 11:58 pm Uvi falcon does literally everything you could possibly want in a synth.
The main thing I see when I look at the webpage for Falcon is a vehicle for selling expansions and presets, and I find it pretty repulsive. Maybe there's a decent synth (or six) hiding behind all the capitalism, but.... meh.
I strongly prefer smaller, focused synths that have their own character, not something that just checks off a bunch of items on a feature list. Give me one great sounding filter that is well suited to the rest of the instrument's design, not a choice of 42 filter types where I can't make myself care about 39 of them.
My softsynth search concluded when I started using Falcon and I highly doubt anything will come close to what it offers anytime soon. If so I will be first in line to download lol!

Sorry for the offtopic, but, I've been listening to the sound demo for your Mininova soundset a few days ago (well... already listened to it some time ago already, but, listened to it again), and, they're hands down the best sounds I ever heard for the synth (and I've listened to a lot of them, and none of them really convinced me, apart from yours). You have a gift.

Hi there, that’s much appreciated, thank you I’d love a MN plugin but that’s not gonna happen anytime soon. MN is a synth greater than the sum of its parts.chk071 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 6:59 pmSorry for the offtopic, but, I've been listening to the sound demo for your Mininova soundset a few days ago (well... already listened to it some time ago already, but, listened to it again), and, they're hands down the best sounds I ever heard for the synth (and I've listened to a lot of them, and none of them really convinced me, apart from yours).

there is no such thing as an all-round best synth. "Best" and "all-around" disagree; cf., jack of all trades, master of none.
you might want to think of synths as individual instruments you'd choose like those of an orchestra.
I can do things in eg., Absynth that many if not most assume it doesn't do well if at all, but 'moog bass' is not worth the time at all in there, esp if I have something made to do that. Or your real swift substractive VA is maybe not going to give much joy if you want additive or modal synthesis, or Yamaha FM.

… but if someone is heavily into ping-style-percussion music, OnePingOnly would be a great allrounder.
