My own current TOP 10 softsynths (no collections like e.g. Komplete mentioned):yessongs wrote:they should do a best pad synth, best lead synth, and best orchestral synth
maybe even a best piano, organ, brass, analog lead digital lead ditto with pads plucks atmos fx and bread and butter sound synths we beed to expand this into the academy awards with a three or four hour prime time show.

1. Synthmaster,
2. Korg legacy,
3. Sonar's Synths,
4. Native Instruments Komplete,
5. Minimonsta,
6. Omnisphere,
7. Alchemy,
8. Arturia V Collection,
9. Zebra
10 TIE Diva, DCAM, Waldorf Largo and AAS analog whatever its called
I Lock usage requirement equals automatic disqualification by the way.
- Tone2 ElectraX
- Tone2 Saurus
- Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V
- KV331 Audio Synthmaster 2.5
- Xils Lab Oxium
- Tone2 Rayblaster
- Waldorf Largo
- Dmitry Sches Diversion
- NI Kontakt 4 (favorite K4 instruments: Synth Magic, Soniccouture, Hollow Sun)

I had voted for Saurus a while ago as ElectraX was not included.
5 synths of my own TOP 10 seem to be included in the final selection at MusicRadar. Synthmaster is the only one in the Top 10 at MusicRadar.
