And we will get plenty of posts like this too in it, as usual

I wouldn't mention Reaktor, ACE, KarmaFX, or any modular synth. They have a very traditional interface and traditional way of thinking. That's why they don't belong on this list.

Edit: Of course you can make a Reaktor ensemble that is unique... whatever!

If unique really means unique and you're not excluding hardware, I can't think of anything that hasn't already been done.

And to be honest, ACE doesn't belong on the list because it doesn't have Supersaw, right?

You are getting very defensive lately. Ace is not unique because it's a modular synth. IMO KarmaFX did it better and way before ACE not to mention Arturia's moog modular that's based on hardware from the 1960's.

Nah, I just think it's sign of hearing deficiency or lack of cable creativity if ACE isn't considered unique

Nevermind, I'll nominate Zebralette. Zebralette offers synthesis methods not found in any other non-(semi)-modular synthesizer, hard or soft. Even the OP will have to agree

Image-Line Sakura and Image-Line Ogun.

Logic's sculpture.

And I definitely agree with Synplant, Alchemy and Gladiator.

I would also say Omnisphere is pretty unique. Not in it's synthesis methods, which are basically just subtractive, but in the design and use. Little things like dragging envelope rhythms from Stylus RMX loops etc. makeit a little different.

Reaktor is full of them - lazerbass, metaphysical function, gaugear, the list goes on...

And no, I definitely don't think this is the same question as "what are your favorite VSTs".
