Always Zebra.
Recently Vital quite often as well.
Pianoteq more often than not.
ABL more often than good taste would warrant.

If we're counting samplers as well:
TAL-Sampler and very recently TAL-Drum in nearly every project.
Addictive Drums frequently, though less than I used to.

I have Pigments as well and like its interface a lot but for the most sounds I do with it they sound kind of metallic I don't how to describe it exactly. Presets are like this as well, somehow I can't get it to sound warm (?)

Surge XT, easy. Somewhat close behind is PianoTeq, which also gets a lot of use. The rest is divided up between a few others.

Gforce SEM and VIPER.

Synthmaster 2, it's filthy.

Cherry's DCO-106. I'm also pretty new, but I can always seem to get it to put out something warm when I want it to.

I can't say I use it the most, but it's in pretty much every project i've done since I bought it, and that's Dune 3

But one project may have 5 instances of something else, etc, so not sure how you gauge using it the most.
Don't trust those with words of weakness, they are the most aggressive

Sadly, I had to replace it in something yesterday because it just wasn't pulling its weight. There is definitely something special about Model 84, though, you just need to find what it does best. I ended up with Saurus on that part, after trying 3 or 4 other synths, but I also ended up turning it up heaps and putting Tarabia Pro on it (I don't like the "TUBE" effect in Saurus at all). So tonight I'm going to go back to an older version and see if maybe adding Tarabia to Model 84 and turning it up will pump it up enough.
Interesting, I actually have found that Model 84 needs a lot of taming. There are definitely times when I'll throw a saturator on it/boost ~4k-5k before turning the fader down. It definitely can sit a little too strongly 8k and up without the right weight underneath. Idk, I've been loving it for quite a while.

All that being said though:
"There is definitely something special about Model 84, though, you just need to find what it does best."

I still agree wholeheartedly with this.

Does it still have a small UI?

Core Synths are Hive 2 for "in the mix" stuff and Dune 3 if it has to punch through. Repro-1 is a safe to go for leads and used everywhere, same goes for Obsession if those bright and epic retro polysounds are needed.

But if i have to pick one: Omnisphere. Load, search and go, regardless of what is needed, this thing does it.

PG8X, Charlatan (v1), VirtualCZ and Full Bucket PS3200. It varies though
