Mine would be Pull My Finger.

ArcSyn for sure.

I'd add Phonec, though "unloved" is probably the wrong term; just a bit under the radar.

Also, for all the talk about "me love analog sound!", not a lot of yammering about the older XiLS stuff, which still sounds fantastic. Matter of fact, if Oxium were a desktop module it wouldn't be so fugly and would probably do quite well

Arcsyn is my go-to synth. It just sounds good to me. I seriously start out with some quirky inspiring instrument and then decide that I want the sound quality I'd get with Arcsyn.

DDSP Vertigo. Very surprising and unique Sounds (Partial Frequencys can be freely defined) possible, less is more and it is a really great Tool for Analysis: Resynthesis lets you see all the Frequencys in the Sound as Partials (1, 1.267, 1.867, ...). Great Playground: copy the Spectrum of a resynthesized Sound and paste it into an INIT Voice again. The Amplitudes get lost on the Way (they are in the File/Image) and you can do what ever you want to with the remaining Wave-Monsters

Forget about all those Bass Enhancers, Vertigo delivers all you need!

ArcSyn indeed sounds amazing but the provided skins are IMO horrible

i loved wiggle, seems innovative and is fun to use. also it was on sale for 19$

however last update was few years ago, seems abandonded.

WNA Zerovector still gets used around here.

yeah it's great. been going on sale recently for very cheap too.
its definitly one of the easiest fm synths to use but has a lot of depth, and nice built in modulations.

There doesn't have to be a conspiracy for something that is good to go unnoticed for whatever reason.

It's kind of like the opposite phenomenon of something going viral.
Let's call it 'going bacterial.'

I demoed it. The sound was great but the workflow was horrible.

I agree inasmuchas the developer seems to want to keep strictly to the original workflow/interface of the Little Phatty, for better or worse. If you can get beyond that (or just happen to like it), it's totally worth it.

I agree about Phonec and Biotek.

Harmor for me.

I always thought that Oxium would be a bigger deal than it ended up being. Maybe if they had added a wavetable oscillator people would have gone bananas for it, as is the fashion.

It’s not going to win any beauty contests, but it’s clear and well laid out.
