He was banned because he started threatening to put a virus into his plugin.

Farfisa V, Solina V, Mellotron V and Wurli V or Stage-73 V from the Arturia V Collection.
The only synth i use is the Korg Multi/Poly.

Earlier I used multiple synths from the V Collection, but M/P can do it all when it comes to subtractive synthesis. Bass, pads, leads, stacked unisons, experimental sounds/effects. I don't need anything else. These five are the ones I end up using in every project, so that's really all I need.

I will at some point see if I can get better keyboard sounds. M-tron and VSM from GForce are on my radar, and so are the Farfisa and Rhodes from GSi. I would also like to test the Crumar Performer for strings. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Edit: It seems it was hard for me to count to only 4.
Nice! Sounds like my style. :)

Well, I could replace the SWAM Double Bass with something, since bass isn’t normally part of a string quartet. But it would have to go to Pianoteq or MODO DRUM. TAL-J-8X and Solina V would be after those.

Or maybe I would go with SWAM Solo Cello, SWAM Solo Bassoon, Pianoteq (harpsichord), and Organteq, for a proper Baroque Basso Continuo.
