Did they change their policy? Usually they did a "Top 50" list.

Anyway, from that list, surely Pigments 3 for me.

Would love to know how OB-E sold for Gforce... after some initial hype, there was nothing to be heard about that synth anymore...

I really wish the industry as a whole were more open about sharing their sales numbers. (Hardware, too.) It would be very interesting to see.

But, yeah, I do wonder how much of a hit GForce took by going osx-only.

Do people still make music?
Do people still talk together ?
Do people still make babies together?
No they don’t, they’re too busy talking about software synths.
Do people still make polls?
when a polish man, loves a polish lady, they have a special love hug, and make a baby one

(Before you ask, it has to be an external poll because KVR polls do not allow secret results.)

So whats this poll doing on KVR then?

Beacuse a poll needs people voting in it, and the KVR instruments forum is a pretty logical place to find some knowledgeable and interested ones? Also, I asked here last year and got lots of replies.

Thank you to the close to 100 people who have voted so far

Wow, they did not do their research AT ALL. Lots of these plugins are from 2020.

Some updates on the "other" votes:
Plasmonic and Equator 2 have seen votes but are disqualified, those were from 2020 and both made the Top 10 in last year's poll.
JD-800 is qualified, this one should have been in the poll as a predefined choice, my bad.

There's a link in the first post.

If you dare to click.

Hyperion, Abyss, Pigments 3, OPS-7.

Hyperion especially is a monster. I love the sound of it so much. Pads are just gorgeous. I'm definitely guilty of buying a bunch of synths that sound kinda the same, but this is very unique.

Yes, it's here: https://linkto.run/p/7NZZFQ5L
Not too happy with that URL to be honest, it's suspicious enough to put people off. But it is legit.

Spire, since I consider the update to be M1 Max native quite big.

I understand that for most people this update is not relevant, but for me it is and I thought it would be worth a mention

I like Spire a lot, and M1 updates can obviously be important for some people, but I don't think it qualifies for this poll as long as no "synth features" are added.

Other suggestions that have come in lately:
Vital - WON the top plugin release of 2020 poll and is not qualified this year
HoriZEN - qualified, thanks
One ping only - er, no.

Concept 2 by Krotos - qualified, thanks for voting.
