VST with best noise generator?

[TheJoker]

I currently run Gladiator as my primary VST for white noise, brown noise etc. Although I think the plugin is great, I'm kind of running tired of it and want to try a new VST (not just for the noise generator). Is there any other VST out there that can rival Gladiator in terms of different sound generator choices?

Get Reaktor - plenty of noise generators in the User Library

If you're after a deep oscillator choice, have you tried z3ta? It has a waveshaping (not traditional "waveshaping") feature that you can create crazy noises with.

An FM synth like FM8 can create some amazing noisy noises too.

I like to think of white noise like a block of granite before a sculptor starts his work. You can use inserts; EQ, filters, and fx to create all manner of "sonic shapes". It requires a bit more effort as you have to automate things instead of using synth based envs and LFO's, but the results can be amazing.

Massive and Zebra offer many different flavors of noise.

Good point, and of course many synths offer not only filters but also EQ and other fx, so sometimes you can use synth-based modulation after all.

True enough, I will try out some of the recomended synths. Getting kind of uninspired with Gladiator

Have a look at Sugar-Bytes Unique.

A: Easy to learn interface.

B: GUI with blinking lights, very cool in the dark.

C: Fantastic overall sound n vibe.

D: Excellent noise oscillators. - Resonance settings, cutoff settings, asdr, and multiple vowel settings- when routed through the vowel options in Unique's filter.

Download the demo, n read the manual. You will not regret!

There are having an Xmas sale! The synth is a lot less expensive than usual. Take a look

Massive, Zebra2, Largo, Helix.

I think Massive is very inspiring GUI and features wise.

Massive is good for noise. After having it for a while, that was all I used it for. But it is good for noise(s).

I am also finding ACE good for noise.

Chimera is a popular noise synth and is very affordable.

I second that. A really nice synth for pads made out of noise.

Zebra has great noise generators.
Running them through a comb filter or FM operator, can get some really amazing tones.

I tried SugarBytes Unique, as someone mentioned above.
That one has a lot of noise and distortion opions. It's also very aggressive sounding. It has a lot of bite, that's for sure.

Thanks for the tips. I've demoed alchemy, unique and synthsquad to see if they can rival Gladiator in terms of noise generators. And to be honest I'm quite dissapointed with the lack of noise generators in the mentioned plugins.

They only seem to offer white, brown or pink noise... Gladiator offers so much more, over 40 different sounds to choose from (white, pink, brown, digital, metallic, noise voice, noise BP, noise HP++)

B: GUI with blinking lights, very cool in the dark.

This alone should be sufficient for an investment in a copy.

Hehe, or not

How does omnisphere rank up when it comes to noise generators?
