I agree about Wusik Station. It comes with a ton of presets and there are many more available either free or very inexpensively. It also comes with EVE which is a decent little synth in its own right. Also, pick up Tyrell from u-hu. It is free and very cool. I also agree about the CM mag DVD. There are some very cool instruments there as well.

Sonigen Modular - free, flexible as hell and high quality. Being modular, it might seem difficult to work with but it has a really nice structure. Soundwise it rivals and might even surpass some of the synths mentioned above.

Well $50 wont get you much of anywhere, there are a lot of free options though, I say you get some free stuff, anything from TAL, look up Angular Momentum, they have some great stuff. Save up $100 for Sylenth-1, its my personal favorite and is the phattest softsynth i have :)

I make dance and techno trace music but a lot of the time when i dont make music i feel is dance or techno i just call it my genre. So it has to be a soft synth and im not anything near a sound engineer so if it could have a lot of presets that would be great. Also i would appreciate if i didn't get any answers like "well first you need a host" because when i first started i took the time to learn a lot of stuff about electronic music production. :D :help:

M1, Wavestation, and Padshop are all a good $50 spent, as they don't really suffer in comparison to more expensive products. Providing you like those types of synths, of course.

Sorry not to offend the OP, but it is funny :lol:

I had the opposite experience! Recently, I had a question and when I google it, I found an answer by myself! :hihi:

Yeah, quite strange :D

But maybe it is lost in the translation, maybe he wanted to update the thread with the experience he has got now 2 years later hunting bargain synths
