Exactly, I never go by specs. I got by what it sounds like and then what the interface looks like. A synth could have all of the features in the world but if it doesn't sound good enough then I don't consider it.

Specs and features do not the Sylenth sound make but I do agree somewhat on the mid bass issue. Largo has a very distinctive sound, immediately recognizable/likable - drifty and dreamy to my ears. Sytrus has a great sound but not at Sylenth's level in some areas. All the features in the world would not make me buy Synthmaster2. Version 2 is much better than 1 but still very thin sounding and not very unique in today's world.

ACE would be my recommendation for that fat punchy sound, it is a beast!

Hi C-Note,

Do you think the below sounds "thin"? I really would like to know your opinion:

1. 4 Saws (Additive) with LP24 filter Arpeggiated

2. 4 Saws (Additive) with LP12 filter Arpeggiated

Thanks!

Bulent

PS: I started a separate thread on this "thin" sounding argument on our forum:

It does not sound even closer to Sylenth nor Largo...!

My ears has hear, sylenth and also synthmaster2, both very intensiv. I dont said that one of the three is bad, only, that from the value-for-money-factor of the synhmaster2 is much much bigger as the two other synths, and he also sounds good.

If i would have the choice i would take - all three

Sylenth for trance-tunes, largo for typical waldorf-sounds and basic stuff, and synthmaster for the big modulating sounds, athmos etc. - the combo of the setup makes the music not 1 single synth

I am just posting a sound sample and asking a simple question: "Does it sound thin?", and my motivation is to improve my product, that's why I started a separate thread on this.

Thank you.

+1 On ACE.

Now that I've finally gotten around to demoing it, I'd have to agree (I'm lagging a bit behind - I'm usually on top of anything new Urs comes out with). I don't think the hardware VA's I've used have anything on ACE in terms of sonic presence and punch. It's a little monster.

Yes Ace looks very interesting. But sooooo much cables

For me as child of the VST/Digital-Generation i feel me there like a cableguy

Tomorrow i will check the demo of the Ace

ACE is best of best thing..... I think ACE is much better than Virus..It's more fat, and good tone.. such as Nord.. I think If do, ACE is only can compear with nord..

But.. This post is about some more nomal synth.. and SynthMaster, Largo.. Thanks.. enought..

If to solve any problum must buy a new synth, It's not funny... so I concern more people's modern synth way than only compear 3 synths

Synth such as Sylenth1
