TAL Noisemaker is a good synth to start learning with, and it's free.

I think he will get bored very soon, it is such a basic synth.

The free JX-8P emulation is more advanced and sounds excellent since he likes the old analog sound...

Can you name me what is more advanced in it?

The DiscoDSP website with v1.4 still seems to be down but the link at KVR is working AFAIK.

What does that mean? That discodsp it’s free or something? I heard many good things about discodsp

For starters, in my view the sound is clearly better, there is something lively about the PG8X sound that I just don't hear in Charlatan.

OB-Xd was open source and originally done by another developer (Datsounds) but the deveopment of OB-Xd had been taken over by DiscoDSP but it was always free. Since some months the DiscoDSP website is down due to the developer being ill.

NI Reaktor is very easy to use.......................

Seriously, I think this is a really good advice:

Yeah, i'd go with that too, and especially check out Dune CM, which is an easy to use, but pretty versatile synth, with a decent sound.

He is probably not interested

So nothing is advanced really, just sound preference/taste thing...

And TAL also has some good, free effects to use with it.

U-he ACE is cheap and versatile.

I think you should save up your money and get Zebra... it is fantastic for ambient/soundscape stuff... it is very powerful and also I think it is one of the best learning tools you can get for synthesis.

It has regular subtractive, additive, FM, some physical modeling and wavetable. Each of them is simpler than a dedicated synth of that type so it is not overwhelming. You can make sounds as simple or complex as you want. Zebra is the synth that helped me to learn synthesis more deeply

if you want the hans zimmer sound you have to pick up a CS80. not the plugin but an actual vintage yamaha cs80 220lb synthesizer.

Good And versatile starter synth?
