I WANT to love it...

[BBFG#]

Well, there are those ones that were lovable in the beginning until the developer/company pulled some psycho-paranoid change in actions or policy that made it hate worthy. (e.g. Wusik, NI, iZotope...)

As to the subject line, I've never got along with Dexed, Massive, Sylenth, Thorn. And I know there are others, but that's what comes to mind first.

Arturia Minifreak V. I wish so much I loved it, but don't. The hardware version looks beautiful though.

Anything NI. All the UIs are either dated (Kontakt) or weird (Massive X). It's a shame because there are some great concepts hiding behind those really bad UIs.

I'm enticed by all the cool stuff Falcon can do, especially the newest release, but then I see demos of the UI, and know I would hate using it. Same with Diva.

As a Bitwig user, I tried really hard to love Ableton first but couldn't, even thought they are fundamentally very similar.

A few synths I tried to love and never could
* Diva
* Omnisphere
* Pigments of any version
* Every other synth by Arturia
* Dune
* The Legend
* Obsession
* Oddity 3 (but Axxess is amazing!)
* Vital

Needless to say I'll not bother trying the new Hans Zimmer + Synapse Audio synth, especially since it's modular-ish. Same with the new Pigments.

So, which synths do you love?

[enCiphered]

Exactly. And which ones have you got a major crush on? I mean, which ones do you love to the moon and back?

Which Sl***y synth are you having a dirty affair with and are ashamed to show in public thread?

Every synth plugin that doesn't instantly load a patch. Zebra, Dune,Arturia,Tone2 and others instantly load a patch. Others like Falcon, Avenger, Korg etc. take too long to load a single patch imo.

Tried to love Rapid. Never could. Had it been an actual 8 channel multi timbral synth instead of the layering stuff yeah.

Man, I really wanted to vibe with the Korg Minilogue, but the interface just ain't clicking for me.

I admit, that is a buzzkill.

Not one to stop me from using a synth. ...but it is a drag.

Just soldier through it. You can do it.

Im actually excited about HZ collaboration, i love The Legend alot, it just has that sound that works, i only miss more modulation options and fx.

When it comes to wanting to love...For me goes Massive X, gosh i love the sound its one of the best sounding synth, but god i hate the GUI and how slugish the plugin is and how shitty the browser is. I hope whoever designed that gui and the ones who approved got fired.

I love the sound but I prefer something like Aalto (as an example of a « modular » kind of synth)

Aalto is not really modular. The signal path is fixed.

Aalto is definitely a semi-modular synth and that is indeed a kind of modular. A limited one.

Also, Aalto does not have a fixed signal path. Those virtual cables are the routing. That it's not as flexible as a fully modular synth is what makes it semi-modular.
