I just change one of my votes from HybridVerb to Metatron at #4. Playing around a little more with Metatron, I fund some pretty interesting stuff, and had some fun.
The Hybridverb won't be useful to me. The fact that we can't use the IRs that come with it in a commercial work is a drawback for me.
But there is many great plugs in there, some were a little finicky with my system(some of them seem to have please some people)Unfortunately I was not able to use them.
My 4 other votes are exactly the same.
Good luck to everyone!

On the main page of the plugs you can read the full info.bk wrote:Where did you get that info?ozmoz2008 wrote: The Hybridverb won't be useful to me. The fact that we can't use the IRs that come with it in a commercial work is a drawback for me.
But I've learn it in from a post on KVR.

Well, you can use it, but you have to pay for it like for any other pro-audio stuff.ozmoz2008 wrote:The Hybridverb won't be useful to me. The fact that we can't use the IRs that come with it in a commercial work is a drawback for me.
If you want a free of charge reverb, you can still use it together with other impulse responses.
The answer is pretty simple: I can release HybridReverb2 under a free software license, because I developed it in my freetime. HybridReverb2 is my private property and I can do with it whatever I please. The impulse responses, however, are the result of my work at our university. Hence, it is the property of our institute. That the head of our institute agreed to make it freely available for non-commercial use is IMHO quite liberal and not a matter of course. If someone is making money with the results of our research by using it for a commercial project, why shouldn't he support our research?! The equipment for our students, books, etc. are not free of charge either. You can be sure that we won't become rich by such small amounts. In fact, I personally won't get a single cent...ozmoz2008 wrote:On the main page of the plugs you can read the full info.

Sorry for the possible mix-up here, the "why?" was not aimed at you, it was only concerning the question to me. No problem with your politics at all, I fully understand them.c.borss wrote:The answer is pretty simple: I can release HybridReverb2 under a free software license, because I developed it in my freetime.

I also have other commercial impulse players, so I don't need to invest in new ones for now (SIR2 and Pristine). But if I do feel like using yours, I will contact you for sure. I am also very keen on being supportive to devs, don't worry.(I also donate to DC09 FYI)
BTW you should make some "cents" from the sales of these if you license some IRs (not only the University).
It was only one of the reason for my change, mostly I won't use your soft and I think I may use the other one, and my change is trying to be fair with everyone instead of just going for my natural affection for reverbs, if you get my perspective.
Anyhow, HybridReverb is a very nice VSTs, good job Christian!
All the best to you and good luck in DC09!

Finally i've decided myself about my top fivers, all synths cause im a synth fetishist.
1 - Amphetamine - in a word, AWESOME!! if it had a more polished gui then it would be a killer, anyway it can cast all sorts of gratifiyng pads. It is a real creativity booster. I liked it to the max..
2 - Metatron - Well ill have to repeat myself saying AWESOME!! some more.
Has a great intricate personality and it can realy elevate your creativity to higher levels, i simply enjoyed to fool around with its wicked pulsations and arpegios - Addictive...
3 - MassTurbotar - What the F**k is this?? - this one hits your face so hard that nearly puts you knocked out. Have anyone tried its basses? they got some sort of kung fu punch that goes straight to your vital points - really Big and Fat - (and i only tried its first 20 or so patches..) - The GUI really rocks
4 - RaMowg - I allways enjoyed a good Minimoog emulation and this is not an exception. Floor shaking basses and penetrating leads are its strenghts. No polyphony?, nevermind the original mini doesnt have it and everibody liked it for what it can deliver - It really shines under a different light with some effects like delay and so. Simple and Effective, nearly Genuine..
5 - Explor3r - If your into some sickening basses and leads, this one fits the bill just right. Unpolished looks and sounds but really abrasive. Unclean and Musculated thats how i define it. Heavy S**t
As For the rest theres a lot more to say and really the creativity seemed to hit hard on DC09 this year.
A sidenote - Well to be honest i really, really enjoy my Prodigious but it didnt seem right to me to vote for it (nevertheless it is still my favourite afterall) but wouldnt you love your firstborn child above all? - I guess many of them would understand me. - Ok i didnt vote for it but dont be reserved about it and feel free to guive him a score - Ah remember theres a "Lighter Version" that dont waste much cpu cicles as the original. Ok now lets go for the FINAL SPRINT!!

I voted soon after the polls were open so it's too late now, but I've just tried the updated version of Drum Synze by Longsoft and I like it very much! Thanks . . .

Well my votes so far:
1. Spectrobits
2. In-kult
3. Explor3r
4. Anawave
5. Stolon
Here is my reasons for my votes:
1. Spectrobits
A very fun tool to use, it can be used to embed "watermarks" in your music (copyright messages etc etc), and it is also very fun to use. I was a very big fan of Coagula until this beast came around.
2. In-kult
Power to the people. Really nice sounds and a nice bite in it too.
3. Explor3r
The filters got me going wild, specially the resonance filter that mimics physical overtones is really sweet.
4. Anawave
A nice little synth with decent sounds. Great for house music and with the wave drawing capacity makes it even better.
5. Stolon
This was my initial favorite, and still this gets me creative. More info when I'll get home.

I had such a hard time deciding my #1 that unfortunately I lost track of time and waited too long to get my vote in 
However these were most likely gonna be my results:
1- MassTURBOtar: I got some of the most unique sounds from this thing by using that morph knob. Will def get used in many tracks to come.
2-Prodigious: I love the sound, excellent gui and has enough unique features to make it stand out from other VAs. One of those synths that will remain in my vst folder right alongside classic keepers like Triangle 2, Iblit and TAL Elek7ro.
3-FMMF: I really like noisy rythmic synths like this. The gui work is astonishing. The evelope and FM capabilities make this a really nice instrument.
4-Circles: Great concept, and great sound! Really fun to use also.
5-Simplicity: I love quick, straight forward synths like this. Sometimes I just want to make a quick sound and get good results with minimal tweaking. Simplicity does just that.
There were more that were fighting for the top five:
JMB Jagular: Capable of so many great sounds, truly deserves some recognition.
dschlon_nzElektrik: Nice sounds coming out of here, however could not get the arp to work, maybe I missed an update somewhere.
Entrancer: Incredible! But probably wont get much use from me, still deserves some recognition.
Black Ops: The only FX I really liked this year. Nice interface. Lovely distortion. Will surley end up on some drum tracks now and again.
Thanks to everyone for making this another fantastic DC

Thank you for the vote,
this make mee hapy. I love your synth JBM Jagular very, i am working for create more sounds, but in this days ... my computer-audio crashed, i don't know why, may be the graphic card,
the only way, reinstall all my software another time but the JBM Jagular is in my backup, je je je... VERY THANKS FOR YOUR SYNTH.Ah, only one little question, i have see that i can register the JBM Jagular, but my computer-audio has not internet, is this a problem?
Thank you and very good luck.
