I've gone from having way too many synths to just using Pigments for pretty much everything.

Yeah Lush 2 would be cool to have some new presets for.

Over the years? FM lab faithfully emulates most of the hardware synths I used for many a year. The recent Korg synths (Modwave, Wavestate, Multi/Poly) can do the Poly 61, M1 and Wavestation I had back in the day. My faithful JV 1010 still sees use. Alchemy, Diva, Halion, Heavyocity collections, and Zebra 2 get used regularly. Serum is used on occasion. At some point, I need to get a Kawai K5 emulation.

My most used synth over the years was the DX7, today I use the excellent emulation of it the Plogue OPS7

In addition I always wanted a Synclavier II, and Arturia has an incredible plugin version made by the programmer of the original with the actual code from the original, I use that all the time also

Zebra, Diva, Halion, Omnisphere, Repro and Serum 2. Ah, and Massive (not X version).

It's unbelievable how many instruments have accumulated over the years. Everything from freeware to Omnisphere. And many of them have only been used once. But if I look at the last two years, these three instruments have been used almost constantly:

Vital (my absolute favorite for everything)
Cherry Audio GX-80 (wonderful sound)
Cherry Audio PS-20 (creates great sounds incredibly quickly and easily)

Mostly Arturia, and now Synthesizer V for vocals. It's incredible.

I almost never use emulations anymore - but sometimes. My primary soft synths are

- Serum2
- Multipoly
- Hive 2
- Spire
- Twin 3

I have at least 30 more than that.

Which synths have become your go-to instruments over the years?
