Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share my current go-to setup in Cubase 13 Pro and see what you all are using these days.
Right now, these are the absolute staples in my sonic arsenal:
Spectrasonics Omnisphere (for endless inspiration)
Vengeance Sound Avenger (for modern energy and flexibility)
Native Instruments Komplete 13 Ultimate (my Swiss Army knife)
Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 (for the ultimate drum tracks)
I mostly produce J-POP (from Japan), and this combination has been treating me incredibly well for crafting those detailed melodies and energetic arrangements.
What does your main template look like? I’d love to know your favorite synths and instruments!
Cheers!
Here’s what I’m rocking in Cubase 13. What are your favorite combos?

Oh, I totally forgot to mention a few other crucial parts of my setup!
For instruments, I’m also heavily relying on these:
IK Multimedia MODO BASS (for dynamic and realistic basslines)
Ample Sound (my go-to for beautiful acoustic guitar strumming & picking)
Vir2 Electri6ity (for powerful electric guitar tracks)
Since J-POP requires really detailed programming and energetic arrangements, these guitar and bass plugins are absolutely essential for my workflow.
Looking forward to hearing what you guys are using!

Welcome to KVR!
I've recently decided to take a different approach to how I see and use things. Starting with the idea of a DAW being its own instrument adding instruments from the same company. My Cubase is also version 13 and I purposely now only load the Absolute 6 plugins to use in it.
And other DAWs I use are now compartmentalized with other plugins.
