Looking for darkwave/EBM/futurepop patches/presets

[News From The Sky]

Think Depeche Mode (especially from Black Celebration/Music for the Masses/Violator era), VNV Nation, Nine Inch Nails (Pretty Hate Machine), Front 242, and so forth. Synthwave is fine if it's from the darker end as opposed to the bouncy poppy new wave end. I'm looking for FM and analog basses, dark pads, metallic hits, weird synthetic percussion, and most of all leads. I don't want glitch or dubstep or broken-circuit stuff. I searched the forum but didn't find much. Waveformless Soundware appears to be defunct.

Currently I'm looking at Bios by Resonate Sound Design, Arena by Kevin Schroeder, Renaissance by the Unfinished, and various Luftrum soundsets. I'm happy to pay, since it will save me the time of building a library from scratch, but I'd rather not pay €30 for a soundset and have it turn out to only have one preset I can use.

I have all of the U-He synths but I'm primarily interested in soundsets for Hive, Repro, or Diva. ACE, Zebra, Bazille fine too though.

Anyone have suggestions, or opinions on the soundsets I mentioned?

I went ahead and got Renaissance, which has a lot of good stuff. Also found syntheticillusion's Hive presets, which is very much in the style I'm looking for. I recommend both of those. Open to other suggestions.

Since you're enjoying my RePro-1 Renaissance soundset, maybe take a look at my Diva Praxis and Genotype soundsets as well - it's got that dark, twisted, analogue vibe.

Check out Aiyn Zahev. He's often around on KVR too. Great patches.

Will do, thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, I have some of his Transitions stuff for Diva, I agree he does great work. Any other sets of his I should check out in particular?

Edit: Prometheus and Cube for Retro both sound good, checking out his Hive stuff now

I use his Hive banks a lot, they're called Elevation and Organism IIRC.

Yeah, those are both good. Thanks!

synaesthesia,
Feel free to tell us about your experience working on "Dune" and/or "No Time to Die". OK, I later found some of your comments on that topic on your website.
