Enough vintage already. How about some "Modern" synth suggestions?

[excuse me please]

But.. synths are outdated!

I think there's a good chance you've already got all the synths you could ever need.

Failing that, Vital.

I probably had all the synths I'll ever need 5 years ago but who's counting?

[SoulState]

+1 For Vital.
If hardware: Novation Summit, Waldorf Blofeld.
Also check:
Parawave Rapid
Falcon 2
If modular: Alpha Forever

[dblock]

A few of you guys mentioned Vital which I had never heard of but this thing sounds pretty damned good.

Does anyone really "need" a synth?

Well, we don't really "need" toilet paper but we may be getting into semantics at this point.

That sounds like a new thread. You will be stranded in a tiny hut in the arctic circle for a year. Almost all of your provisions are provided for. Your hut comes fully equipped with a modern computer with an operating system of your choice, a high quality audio interface, a 61 key controller, and a single pair of high quality monitors.

There is one problem.

You have no internet, and no ability to download anything. All you can do is use the tools that are on the computer or that you bring with you to make music.

There is one more problem.

"Almost" means this, there is no toilet paper nor any reasonable approximation.

You have been granted a budget for a year's supply of high quality toilet paper. The average person uses 50 pounds per year, or, approximately 410 rolls. You have been granted $2.44 cents per roll for a budget of $1000.

Before you leave, you must purchase, in advance, all of your toilet paper and all of the software to produce music. You may not use any communistic open source software or free tools. Real musicians pay for their software. They want everything professional, everything high grade.

Upon return, you must bring with you a fresh track to please KVR or you will be sent back for another year with no additional budget.

What do you buy?

[Dark Lights]

I’d suggest...

Massive X
Dune 3
Blade 2
MPowersynth
Falcon
ArcSyn
Vital

That should keep you busy.

that's a lot of bands named after soft synths

Yeah, some people just can't follow directions.

PIKOTARO for the win. Truly modern synth music.

No way it didn't get Grammy! Coz this shit is their new level.

If you mean the software has to come out of my toilet paper budget that would require some serious professional consideration right there.

That is exactly it. You have $1000, one year, synths or toilet paper, what will your needs be?

[jancivil]

Reaktor Kontour is probably not going to sound vintage analog unless you really want it
Two-operator [weird implementation of] PM type of FM with interdynamic filters... gets pretty gnarly into inharmonics if you like, FX in it are pretty much 'modern'... gets way into _resonant_, a rather sensitive beast
also, too, Reaktor Spark


wait for it




Absynth

[morphex]

For a modern sound recently I've been turning to Rhizomatic Software's Plasmonic and the aforementioned Vital and Newfangled Audio Generate. Those along with some specialized effects can open you up to a world of sound possibilities that would keep anybody busy for years to come.

Omnisphere, $230, Battery $200 and $570 worth of toilet paper.
