You can start with these, they are pretty good and free

There are lots of others as well, I just can't remember where I got them, just search, you might get more hits for Serum, that doesn't matter though

Thank you very much!

Silly thing about Pigments though is that you can't load a single cycle waveform, you have to make into a "single cycle" wavetable first. The early digital synths used single cycle waveforms, and they still have a lot going for them. You can of course play any cycle as a single cycle waveform and morph between them to create new waveforms, still annoying when you have a particular waveform you want to use though

Roland cloud Juno 106 for me. The CPU hit is stupid so you gotta print to audio but it's worth it.

Icarus 2 by Tone2 best of the best. End of story.

must be the readers digest version :shrug:
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

the korg polysix vst is great for synthwave, but pretty much any virtual analog synth can work for it

I buy in economy.
The Neon Synthwave expansion for Carbon Electra is really cool! If you are looking for something horror Stranger Thing style it is perfect! Especially the arpeggiated presets inspire me a lot.
I also bought Cherry Audio's DCO-106, it's very good.
SynthMaster's presets are beautiful but not as good as the package for Carbon Electra.
