I already have Spire, Omnisphere, Serum, PolyMax, Avenger and Nexus.

but I need another synth to cover classic rock brass sounds, JP-8080 type of sounds, moog and prophet type of sounds and cinematic sounds.

Try Invader 2, it's dontationware but don't let that put you off. There are a few patch banks available for it, too.

I'd say Diva fits without being redundant to what you already have.

Yup. Diva. It even does the JP-8080 oscillators.

All the synths you have are more then amazing tools for what you need. You really dont need to look for other synths just for brass and supersaws.

Serum is good but it can't do Classic Synth Brass well, and JP-8080 style supersaws and other classic trance sounds.

It definatly cant by itself, none if synth can. Sound designer can. And Serum does great 8080 style supersaws, it even has algorhytm for that.

One synth for all that... I don't think so.

- Classic rock brass sounds, Moog: That is GOAT territory for Diva. If it has to be auhentic Oberheim I would check something else. The Obie filter is cool but I think there is more to the Oberheim sound than that.

- JP-8080: It depends on what really ticks that box for you. Diva CAN do that but the chartacter is not fully like the 8080 which means filter included. No soft synth I know of can do that fully. And I am not talking about close but to have this certain YES!!! feeling when it rubs you just right. The Arturia is not fully there me thinks.
Many can do SuperHyperSaw. Hive is great for that. Vital and Synthmaster too.

- Prophet: I own Repro and love it for exactly that. Nuff said.

Cinematic sounds: I recommend Synthmaster3 for that to add to what you already have. The complete bundle is quite cheap with 7500 presets and tons of them are really good.
