As you already own Zebra, you could upgrade it to Zebra HZ, which will give you Diva's filters inside Zebra.

Spend $50 on 2 or 3 new sound sets for Zebra and relax ha-ha.giraffeburgerz wrote:I realize the synths I have can accomplish great Bass and Leads. But playing with a new synth is so much fun! HA!

I have all 3 of the ones you mentioned. I would leave Sylenth and choose between Diva and Synthmaster.
It's a very hard pick , Synthmaster is extremely versatile and has a lot of new type of sounds to be discovered.
I like that I'm able to import my own samples , so it can also function as a very cool sampler !
Diva on the other hand just covers a lot of the "classic" vintage synths and sounds amazing.
For sound design , electro and hiphop I would pick Synthmaster.

The OP has Zebra already, so they can pretty much do everything that Synthmaster can do apart from the sampling playback.

Well that's why I mentioned it explicitly.The sample function and audio in is a huge plus for hip hop and sound design IMHO.
Vector synthesis ..also very cool !
I have Zebra as well and I consider Diva much closer to it than Synthmaster.
The U-he synths have a high end , polished sound whereas Synthmaster has much more raw sounding filters and has the edge because of the (sample) extras.
I love them all , but I was very surprised by the power of Synthmaster.
Diva and Zebra are pretty much "industry standard".

This is the best answer in the entire thread, IMO.Arksun wrote:As you already own Zebra, you could upgrade it to Zebra HZ, which will give you Diva's filters inside Zebra.
