searching for the last synth ...

I want to complete my arsenal and then I will stop buying any additionally synth for two years ... Actually my arsenal is crowed up with 'complex' synthsezier like (absynth, harmor) and / or modular (vazmodular, zebra) and some more.
Now I'm searching for an fast programming subtractive synth with no tabs or windows and maximal one page but also deep in sound and with enough modulation sources to have fun with, any ideas?

Not sure if this counts, but Sylenth1 is contained to just about one page, minus the effects.
Dune also has a similar "one window" setup, and its modulation is absolutely crazy.
G-force Imposcar2 is also another good one window synth.
If you are looking for a very simple subtractive synth that has great sounds, TAL U-NO-LX is a tough one to beat.

Corona tabs are minimum, has straightforward interface and top sound quality so you might like it.

Thanks for your suggestions but I should have mention I want something digital sounding no VA or emulation of an existing synth ..HydrogenHuman wrote:TAL U-NO-LX is a tough one to beat.

Linplug Alpha is simple but has enough modulation to make it interesting.

Ahhhh, well in that case I would recommend Fabfilter Twin 2 for real digital synthesis that doesn't "sound" like any other synth. Only drawback for you is that while it has great modulation capabilities, you have to open a bottom screen to route everything.Autobot wrote:Thanks for your suggestions but I should have mention I want something digital sounding no VA or emulation of an existing synth ..HydrogenHuman wrote:TAL U-NO-LX is a tough one to beat.
You may also want to check all of Tone2's synths since they appear to all be one screen and are unique sounding.

No tabs/windows and only one page does not leave much... and not with plenty of modulation... most of the suggestions so far still have some tabsAutobot wrote:I want to complete my arsenal and then I will stop buying any additionally synth for two years ...

Tone2 Firebird, now free, is (IIRC) all one page no tabs...
ACE (leave the tweak page alone) is one page no tabs and the default wiring can be left as is.

RP Blue (just ignore the FM modes and treat it as a 4 osc subtractive).
Used copy of Albino (since it's no longer for sale via linplug)
Novation v-station
Sugarbyte Cyclop (presumuing you can live with monophonic)
I would also have a serious look at Corona - it's not a emulation of something classic, has lots of character all of it's own, and is very easy to program

Diversion.
Capable of outstanding digital goodness but not limited to that.

As you can see there is minimal tabbing for the individual LFOs, Envs and MSEGs etc. but other than that its all one one screen with perfect overview over the core of the sound.
I must add that a CPU with lots of reserves is a must though. Depending on what kind of sound you dial in Diversion can easily eat up an entire core so you better be sure that your processor has enough power to handle that and any other plugins you intend to use at the same time.

This. Corona is way under-appreciated. I'll admit the GUI is not my favorite, but the sound is fantastic and that's what counts.George wrote:Corona tabs are minimum, has straightforward interface and top sound quality so you might like it.

rapture is also on sale currently : http://www.pluginboutique.com/product/4 ... 0-Rapture-
I still love the sound - but the UI is both tiny (hence squint inducing) and heavily tabbed
