This week's list is:
- bx_oberhausen
- ARP Odyssey
- Pigments
- Thorn
- ArcSyn

I'm still using Union quite a bit, too, but it doesn't feel like it deserves to be on a favourites list. I'd also give Vacuum Pro a bit of a rap. I don't use it all that much but when I do reach for it, it always exceeds my expectations.
NOVAkILL : Asus RoG Flow Z13, Core i9, 16GB RAM, Win11 | EVO 16 | Studio One | bx_oberhausen, GR-8, JP6K, Union, Hexeract, Olga, TRK-01, SEM, BA-1, Thorn, Prestige, Spire, Legend-HZ, ANA-2, VG Iron 2 | Uno Pro, Rocket.

I have been demoing Dune 3 for the past couple of weeks and I get what people here like about it so much. I am just getting such nice, warm sounds out of it, very smooth sounding. The filters and envelopes are fantastic. Also quite interesting voice / layering system. Well, next sale it's mine.

Otherwise my current list would be:
Rapid, Phase Plant, IL Harmor, Diva and Bazille

V Collection (yeah, all of them)

Pretty happy with Bitwig Grid and Reaktor for everything. I mostly just patch noise and weird sounds and then sample them.

and 3 which run in Reaktor: SkannerXT, Reaktor Spark, and Monark

"List your three favourite software synths which are made up from scratch and are no emulations or samplers"

That's a tough one (and I can't just list only three!!) as there are so many great emulations. Also, some can import samples but they have so many other synthesis capabilities:

Icarus 2
Phase Plant
Zebra 2
Pigments
Hive 2
Synthmaster 2.9 (some filter types, but not a real emulation)
Biotek 2

Definitely in my second tier, right next to some great sounding but more specialised synths like Loom(2) from the same devs.

What is a 'best (real) software synthesizer'?
EnergyXT3 - LMMS - FL Studio | Roland SH201 - Waldorf Rocket | SoundCloud - Bandcamp

1. Tone2 - Icarus 2 Gorgous to look at, sounds digital but great and complex. Best for being intuitive and User friendly in almost every way. CPU, Presets, Folders, Designing sounds, flicking thorugh sounds. Must be darn good to beat the next
2. Vengeance - Avenger - Similar to Icarus2 , much higher CPU, I believe" Currently not so user friendly with authorizing but makes up by it's fanstastic sounding expansions and It sounds as good or maybe better than Icarus.
3. U-he - Hive 2. Really nice and also similar to the 2 above. Best upgrade deal I have ever seen!
NKS, so for me it actually gets used a lot more than the two above. Previewing sounds in NKS format with HIve2 is a dream come true. Awesome CPU light in no way like Diva with it's "burden"

Now if we are talking workstation type synths such as Falcon, Halion, Kontakt, or Sampletank etc then Falcon beats the three above and everything else I have ever come across in so so many ways. So in otherwords get Falcon and save up for the others.
