i haven't really had any bad luck with the soft synths that i've chosen to use, and the ones i use now are almost kinda like having a hardware version, in that, i use NKS capable soft synths that are all mapped to my Maschine knobs & Jam touch strips

The second one. However, I’m enjoying the replies the ambiguity has caused.

That's the way I read it and wondered why everybody hates on Bazille...

I personally would smash Rand by Sampleson, although I succeeded at my highest yet placement with that at KVROSC. The novelty of the randomize button wears of quickly and the underlying synth engine isn't that powerful. Also, and more importantly, the left audio channel is corrupted.

i'm not keeping up, what is the short version of this issue?
Cubase. Evil.
Steinberg. Evil.

Cannot blame poor Cubase

Will VST2s I own suddenly stop functioning in REAPER?

Not suddenly... but it appears that Steinberg wants to prevent developers from selling, updating or supporting VST2 plugins.

Selling ok, but updating and supporting?!
I hope the CLAP programmers will step on it, it's time to get rid of Steinberg.

NI TRK-01 (just the bass module would be fine).

It is remarkable how much Steinberg is ruining their reputation. A few months ago, they got props for announcing they would ditch their licensing system. Now they are in the toilet, riding a VST3 surfboard down the chute as they simultaneously hold down the flusher. So, yeah, I'm all for smashing all my Steinberg plugins to bits--and doing the opposite of recommending them in any thread where they are mentioned.

I would smash Massive X. Although if it were hardware it would have to address most what I hate about it, which is mostly UI and workflow. But if it were as badly designed in hardware form as it is in software form, I'd smash it.

If that were the case, you never would have bought it!!

Oooh, good suggestion. A really nice bass synth.

Almost too bad there are better bass synths: I wish I had more reason to use TRK.

But, yeah, I'd want that hardware.

i would pick something that plugins need years to matchs sonically if something like that exist ,or something that will never be emulated cause not "mainstream " enought

How about a Virus?

.......

If a soft synth could magically become a hardware unit, which one would you smash into floating molecules with a mallet?
