OT re. Pianoteq. It`s a funny one yes.
Soundwise is a Grand Piano from Pianoteq NOT a Synth.....but a "Piano".
But technically, if i play Pianoteq (Piano) do i play a Synth. period (YMMV)
( thought about that alots some years ago. Pianoteq was btw. the reason i started to have a music PC again)

^^ lots of sonic similarity in this list, but a lot of variety in the ones that got only 1-2 votes! Plasmonic, Dawesome, Iris . . .

Thanks for sorting the results out so far.
It's surprising to me that Halion 7, The Legend HZ, and TAL-MOD didn't get more votes, they are all great sounding synths. Halion 7 offers so many types of synthesis, it's a power house, but is very deep and although the interface is not very friendly, plus it is quite pricy as well. I would have expected The Legend HZ to be much more popular, TAL-MOD as well.
Let's see how the results change over time.
Cheers,

Very intresting, thank you for your summary this far! I wonder about the Zebra results though, is it Zebra3 entirely or does it include Zebra2 as they are two differant instruments with their own sonic signatureMuziksculp wrote: Sat May 16, 2026 3:57 amHi @sergiofrias ,sergiofrias wrote: Fri May 15, 2026 11:36 pm top 30 so far:

I'm working on some more complete works I hope to share soon.BONES wrote: Thu May 14, 2026 12:24 am Yeah but the thing is it's an unimpressive demo of fairly ordinary sounds, not something likely to have everyone flocking to the site to download it. It sounds fine, it's not terrible at all, I suppose I was expecting something a bit more impressive is all.
