KVR Audio

I think this was a post topic way back in 2004 - but I wanted to see what people would choose and why since technology has moved on to where we are in 2016?

I will be limiting myself to just one synth as a creative experiment as I have never tried and I simply have too many VST synths (I think I am some sort of synth hoarder or something) that I am struggling to focus on finishing any tracks.

In my case it may have to be the old Alchemy (before Apple) - partly because it is really flexible in terms of modulation, it is a pretty good sounding synth, and it has the ability to load in samples and do some Granulization and some Additive to boot.

I admit I was torn between the following in my collection:
Alchemy
NI Massive
Serum
NI FM8
Omnisphere 2
UHE Zebra
Synthmaster 2.7
NI Reaktor 6
Cycling 74 Max 7
FL Studio Harmor
UHE Diva
UHE Bazille
NI Razor
NI Rounds

So what VST synth would you pick and why?

Reaktor. Because Reaktor.

Lol.

I don't even wanna know how many of such threads i've seen since i joined KVR... anyway, it's fun. I would say Spire, because it's pretty versatile, nice unison features, great sound, quite CPU efficient since the 1.1 update, great effects... i'd surely be able to make whole tracks using nothing else, so that would be my choice.

I don't consider Reaktor a synth...

Among synths... Bazille

Among synths... Bazille

it is a VST though, and it's in his shortlist.

so ya, Reaktor.

(inb4 further hairsplitting)

Alchemy 2

Being thinking of getting with the program/Logic X, pretty much Alchemy is selling whole thing, can see myself using it exclusively even now without whole desert island story, what an nice stock synth that is.

OnePingOnly could give you the opportunity to send fairly accurate SOS signals.I guess that's the one to choose.

I guess I'd have to say Falcon. But only if you put a gun to my head as there are a number of synths in my collection that I'd hate to be without.

No - scratch that, I will be using Ableton Live Suite, all my guitars and amps. So... I don't even need a vst synth.

Stranded on desert island and you can only have 1 VST synth...which one?
