sorry for the edit
it seems like mpowersynth supports custom shapes and audio file imports
I thought to suggest Komplete first, but ...

FL Studio Producer comes with Sytrus and Maximus (Excellent DAW!). I recently bought Harmor as well (half price, I think it still like that).

FL Studio comes with tons of good kicks (samples and synths). Sytrus is a wonderful and powerful FM synth. Now, Harmor is the king of Image Line (in my opinion). You can import audio or even images (pictures) and resynthesize them. A very powerful synth. You can find a very good tutorial about it in AskVideo:
http://play.askvideo.com/harmor-synthesis-on-steroids/1

The advantage of FL Studio version, is there are specific editing tools in the piano rolls for both Sytrus and Harmor (and other FL natives). You really will be amazed of how powerful this environment for 'modern dance', but not only of course.

The downside is it needs some time to learn ( can accelerate you with his excellent videos). See some for yourself and decide. Download the demo (it has already all the synths demos as well):
Using: Cubase Pro 15, Reason 13, Tascam US-4x4HR, MODX6, DM12D, LaunchKey 49, Yamaha guitar(Pacifica 612v) and bass (BB234) and some virtual instruments and synths.

I would focus on instruments first, so I would either get:
- Komplete
- Maschine (Mikro or Jam, which are the cheapest), which includes Komplete 11 Select, so you have Monark and Massive - if you don't need Kontakt, Reaktor or FM8, this could be a nice package.
- FL Studio with some additional plugin (NI Massive? use the discount coupon untill next 4th January, but only if you don't plan to buy a package which already includes Massive anytime soon).


If there's some spare money, then I would look at fx (Slate Digital, SoundToys, Eventide, Exponential Audio, Valhalla DSP, FabFilter, Sonnox...), based on what you're missing most in your setup.
In a basic setup, ideally I would want:
- a clean and trasparent equalizer (that does the job, it doesn't need to be linear phase or to have fancy features)
- a clean compressor (again, that does the job)
- a good, flexible delay (Echoboy JR is my first suggestion currently, if you don't want to spend a lot or to buy the full Echoboy)
- (maybe) a good reverb
- a decent limiter
Then it's up to you to choose coloured eqs and compressors. If you feel you already have good tools in these areas, then I would look at effects like those by SoundToys. You don't need them all, I think that Echoboy and Decapitator are a good choice, without being forced to buy a whole suite (even though sometimes it makes sense).
Keep an eye on sales, of course!

Just my opinion, by the way.

About Melda, it's a lot of stuff you probably wont use half of it but...you get lifetime updates and all the new plugins that come out for free. No hassle installation. Also when you need something specific, to go deep into mixing or sound creation you will have it. Personnaly it's the first thing I install. Things you will most probably use: MautoDynamicEQ there's nothing like it and even though Reaper's eq can do an ok job it's gotta a lot more to offer. You also won't find a surgical EQ in Komplete. After collecting a lot of plugins I find myself needing Kontakt only from NI. Not that they don't have nice plugins, Komplete is a great deal but a lot of stuff like 20 synths, and some odd sample banks that you probably won't use (just guessing).
Also if you plan to mix your stuff plugins like: Mauto-Align, Mbassador, MTurboEQ, MturboComp, MTurboReverb,MDrumLeveler, MXXX, MCompare, Powersynth, MstereoSpread...and a few more that you will probably eventually need from another company or Melda. I think it is still the best offer especially at 50%, that's where youll get the most bang for your buck to cover every area. The limiter I find is the weakness. I'd look into Kazrog Kclip and/or BrainworxLimiter if still on sale.
I seriously think Melda will cover 90% of your needs. And the speed at wich new quality plugins come in is astonishing. My 2 cents.

For the genre's you're looking for ... and for the type of plugs you are looking for.. I'd say Melda & Serum & Sytrys to compliment your freebies.

Melda is just had to beat at half off of everything. Serum should take care of any needs you have outside of MPowersynth. Sytrus is an FM monster that has tons of free presets available online that are great for EDM.

I have Komplete... and I'm pretty sure you may not find a use for most of it unless you need basic acoustic instruments. And for that you can find cheaper options.

I'd go with Komplete. Covers everything you need. Or if you really have enough money, you can buy FL Studio Plugins and Reaktor. Reaktor is all you need. Even if you don't really need a modular synth making studio, there are plenty of great free Reaktor Synths available.

I think you wasted your money personally. I would have bought Massive for the type of genre you wanted to make, and learned it inside out, then maybe buy some preset packs for Massive to get you started, then buy Serum at a later date for better quality sounds.

Harmor is pretty good and decent, but has a huge learning curve and hardly any presets. The other stuff, you just don't need.
I want to get deep into the sound.Massive is good but it dosent have those features that i want and all my pc slaves are having amd fx cpu those have weak single core perfomance and serum is bound to be single thread heavy so it is damm heavy on my cpu

They are heavy weight choices ;) You'll need time to learn them. but I think they are good choices after all.
MPowersynth, although I don't know it well, is a powerful synth. You'll be busy learning it. Harmor and Sytrus are also not easy synths to learn, but Harmless is relatively easy (the small brother of Harmor).

Diversion is a great synth, but it is a cpu hog. I suppose, you already know that.

The effects are very good, in fact, they are overkill! Personally, I use few from Waves (mostly the REDD console plugin), Track Essentials from Toneboosters and whatever there in the DAW (mostly Studio One effects).

Anyway, you will know your favourite synth(s) and effects after some time. For now, try to learn the ones you like very well :)

If the cpu is an issue, why did you buy Harmor and Diversion?? Those two are quite heavy... :dog:

my cpu is not a issue my cpu's single core perfomance is an issue harmour and diversion are not single core bound rather than serum
