Im looking for synth that also can use samples on its oscillators, Vital is pretty amazing but its quite hard on cpu here.
By 4 osc i mean 4 at the same time then i limit the range for bass or synth with 2 layers and 2 osc each so its 4 anway.
Anyone recommends something similar?
I can live without filters but id prefere if it has ability to split or disable bass on higher notes for example , preferably unison.
Vital is so far what i want its just cpu hit with it is not fun.23% on 3 note chord when using one sample and unisoned saw.

Did you try the Roland D-50 plugin? You can't use your own samples with it but other than that, it's pretty cool.

Synthmaster is another one with 2 layers and 2 oscs per layer and can use samples.

Tone2's Electra2 is another one.

You might also want to check out Unify.

I can't remember if Biotek 2 has a low CPU usage, but it has unlimited layers and has a ton of options.
90 day trial also!

Parawave Rapid. It's got 8 layers each with three Osc but you don't have to use them all.

You can split/layer any way you want. :tu:

Kilohearts' Phaseplant. Highly flexible and great sounding.

Rereading that post and its confusing as hell...
Thanks for suggestions i demoed some...
Are there any more synths with ability to load samples and playback along subtractive/wavetable/whatever synthesis on one of the slots? Doesnt have to be 4, can be just 2 as long as it plays sample.
I know you can dio that easily with layering in DAW but i need something convenient that would let me to create presets quickly.
I tried d-50 yes , thats why im looking for something similar cause it wont load my samples , on attack it has one shot sample and the rest is mostly synthesis so it sounds quite nice and complex, you can recreate d-50 easily by having percussion sample like marimba or snare /hihat as attack along some lowpassed brass synth + bell sample on aTTACK.

Well the best D-50 patches I ever did were from Wusikstation. It's usually dirt cheap but the developer can be a bit....unreliable let's say.

Going just on specifications Wusikstation is a great synth and a rare wavesequencing synth (as opposed to wavetable). At one time it was my favorite synth but things kind of went off the rails around version 6. I haven't tried the latest Wuskstation X yet.

Looks like you can get in on his latest group buy for $39.95 and it gets you 11 products but again a caveat about the developer himself.

I mentioned Unify earlier which can get a similar sound by combining the sounds included in it and plugins you have, and then layering them together in all kinds of ways.

You might also like to check out Equator2 as it can import samples and has granular functionality too.

It can use up to 6 instances of four source types: Wavetable, Granular, Sampler and Noise.

You should consider saving up for a modern computer build.

KV331 Audio Synthmaker... and it's cheap. Or Sonic Academy ANA 2.

I will also second Parawave Rapid.

But if you want a real monster, capable of pretty much ANYTHING, you can go for Falcon or HALion.

Would Tal-Sampler do it?

Omnisphere.

Would Absynth work? It is low on CPU.

Equator. 6 osc.
