Pianoteq
Zebra3
Absynth6
Legend HZ

This is, if it was only 4. Despite the fact that Legend is quasi unused.
If it was for 6, Legend would run 6th, and i`ll add Chromaphone3 and Object (Reason)
(edited: i wrote 7 instead of 6)

If it was only 2: Pianoteq and Zebra3.
If it was only 1: Pianoteq (and i`ll do anything else based on FXing + live jaming with it)

Pianoteq
Zebra 3
Zebra 2/F'em (tie, sorry)
VCVRack Pro VST (tied with Plogue Bidule VST if that can be considered a synth)

I'm doing 5 because the last two answers reminded me that Pianoteq is technically a synth.

Pianoteq
Phonec 3
OPS7
VCV Rack
Phase Plant

I think those are from the most inspiring soft synths I have:
- OB-X (GForce)
- Atomika
- Icarus 3
- Aparillo

I'm actually starting a new project with those 4 synths.

1. UVI Falcon (with Sonic Bundle)
for about 80% of cases, this is all I need.
2. AAS Multiphonic CV-3
for complex feedback sound with physical modeling.
3. Kirohearts PhasePlant
for complex audio-rate modulation sound.
4. CherryAudio SH-MAX
for warm analogy sound.

If I can pick 5, I'll add Arturia's Synclavier V. It can produce
very special sound that can not be obtained with any other.

I agree with you about Synclavier V! I loooooove how you can pan the harmonics, something that Razor doesn't have!

The four would come out of the following list (in no particular order):

Synthmaster 3
AAS Ultra Analog
AAS Chromaphone
MSoundFactory
The Eighty
Dune 3
DIVA

I suspect my just-installed Zebra 3 would be on that list once I've had a chance to play with it some.

So, I'll take the first four ... and my wife will take the remainder ... yeah, that's the ticket!
