My synth bases are almost covered, but I'm looking for one more to complete my set nicely (Alchemy, Absynth, FM8, Monark, Reaktor, Bazilla and Serum). I do wide range of ambient music (usually dark and cold, from Lustmord to Biopshere). I use a lot of field recording, but for these I have Alchemy and Reaktor, so granular capabilities are not a must. No dongles for me (so Falcon is out of the list). I like complex, modular or semi-modular synths. I don't use presets, I create my own weird, experimental sounds. I have good effects (delays, reverbs and various mangling things), so these don't have to be top-notch in the synth. I usually do multilayers of different synths, bounced and re-processed, so I don't care for CPU usage.
I have heavily demoed Zebra and while I like its semi-modular structure, there's something weird in Zebra sound (for the lack of a better word it's "lack of clarity", both in presets and in demos available over the net). So - are there other good alternatives to consider? Please, give me something special: complex, flexible and weird
