SONICALLY Best VST Synth

[jethrobull]

Loomer Aspect. Easily the best sounding vst synth I've heard. With no onboard FX, it doesn't hide it's beautiful raw sound.

I use Architect extensively, but never heard of Aspect. Demos sound dope

Yes! Been testing the up and coming v2, and it's just insanely good

I'm not exactly sure, but Colin has said it's pretty much ready for release

Bazille is the best sounding synth for me... totally gorgeous sound!

For me - without question Bazille

Even the init has depth

Every time I use it it surprises me, it can do Trance Plucks to Complex Pads to Can't even describe patches

Well said... and same for me... Bazille has incredible sound quality.

Zebralette 3

Well I guess someone changed their mind!

Man you are ready to work hard to make your point .

I see at least 2 common points between these 2 synths.

First they are from U-He so it shows a certain consistency.
Second, they are not Spire so it shows Pdxindy is still wrong.

I appreciate having a flexible and agile mind that can readily change itself when something new in introduced!

Bazille is still my current favorite as it is a full synth with a lot of creative tools.

But yes, in terms of raw sound quality, Zebralette 3 has set a new standard. Z3 is startling in its dynamic presence and sharp coherent sound. And it does that without strain or harshness. Very impressive!

Spire didn't impress me much on a quick skim through Youtube---any audio examples anyone might want to share?

There’s no substitute for a quick demo. What most impressed me was how good the per voice distortion sounds. Usually it’s something that fails in most plugins, or is just kind of tame sounding.

How do you find the lack of filter in Zebralette 3? That filter on OSC level is it like a proper zdf filter or something more basic?

The OscFX Curve Filter is different from a regular filter. It has no resonance control for example. But it is more flexible than a regular filter. You can use wavetable curves to draw the filter spectrum and morph between different filter curves.

Here's a quick example of a saw wave (with unison) and so waveform modulation. So just the static unison saw and all the sound changes are from modulating filter cutoff and morphing the filter spectrum between 2 curves. 1 held note.

300+ MB, I don't even feel like downloading the demo of Spire...
Does it have wavetables or samples?

No wavetable or samples. Each plugin format type is about 150 mb,mostly just image files for the different skins and sizes. It does have some wave shapes which I assume are sample based but it is not a wavetable synth. It’s a very nice synth probably my favorite . Most presets are hard EDM sounds but it’s capable of anything

I see. Well, I have limited Internet access, so I wish developers would stop being lazy and split downloads up...
I just checked Sylenth1, it is not even 35MB, about 1/10th.
