Can you recommend some really high quality but not so well known synth plugins?

Which small developers make greats product that aren't as popular (yet) as they should be?

Diversion should be better known than it is. Top quality synth!

It's Mac/Win compatible. You should say what platform you are using.

Peace,
Andy.

I agree with Andy. Diversion is indeed excellent. If you are looking for something a bit unusual, try looking at Ugo and Inear Display. They both have cool things. If you want some off the wall stuff, check out xoxos' plugins.

Corona is nice and a bit different.

Loomer Aspect has good sound.

Aalto is crazy for otherworldly sounds but not for everyone.

Korg Polysix, somewhat old now but still totally worth it.

Synplant

Cyclops

Definitely Aalto...the sounds that you can create are something to behold!!

The synths of HG Fortune and Home Grown Sounds (BTW, both are not related)

+1 all of the above.
FAW Circle - great interface and some unusual mod capabilities.

Madrona Labs Aalto - known around here, it's a Buchla-inspired semi-modular (I've been rightly corrected on calling it a modular as you cannot re-route the audio), but it's an ingenious mod-routing system with "cables"

On the Mac only: Sinevibes Torsion - don't have it yet but it's different; very active developer with some great interfaces and a slew of nicely-priced pattern effects.

(It's well-known, but I'm tempted to put U-he's Ace on the list, only 'cause it's like celebrities Zebra and Diva's hot sister (or brother, depending on your predilection

)

Oh, and can't forget Stillwell's Olga - not for everyone, but you can't not like a synth with a cigarette on it's interface!)

Also check out Scanned Synth Pro:

http://humanoidsounds.co.uk/

It uses a technique called "scanned synthesis" which is not very common. It's capable of very unusual sounds! Price is "pay what you want".

Peace,
Andy.

kilohearts ONE seems pretty good for a basic synth. It is low on CPU and easy to use.

Also the fantastic ABL Pro doesn't get the love that it deserves.

For what it's worth, I agree with others about Diversion. I never miss an opportunity to praise it!

The demo gives you a great opportunity to experience its sonic goodness!

Diversion is a beast.

Progress Audio Kinisis is really cool, different. I hope he continues to develop plugs.

Do you know some excellent lesser known paid soft synths?
