it's a monster

I bought Live 9 Suite 2 months ago and I agree! Although the GUI looks unimpressive it is quite a deep instrument and it got me hooked on FM synthesis.

I'm going to check out the Diversion demo 'cause it sounds and looks really really impressive... (and start thinking about a CPU upgrade )

CPU upgrade never needed with Helix.

Circle
SynPlant
Aalto
Diversion
But hey I'm biased cause i do presets for all of these

Yeah SuperSonico

Awesome sound! Very non-VSTi sound.

SynthMaster is a good choice also. It has a very good sound and many possibilities to program.
The price is low as well (especially after the discount).

I guess that Synthmaster is actually quite well known (at least here at KVR).
Same about OP-X Pro, ImpOSCar 2, the Korg plugins and Largo which were mentioned here too.

If any of the Korg plugins is underrated it should be the Wavestation (same is true about the hardware synth which is a reason why they are quite cheap)...

impOSCar2
Definitely takes some time to figure out, but it's well worth the effort.
Imo...one of the best synths available.

Very difficult to disagree with that.

One of my all time favorite synths which i got since version 1 and the only GForce synth i kept after selling Oddity and Minimonsta back in 2011.

Anyway it's hardly what i would call an "underrated" synth.

Rs-met got some nice synth, forgot its name

I think nowadays Rhino sadly qualifies as "lesser known" even though it's a beast of a synth that was once amongst the most popular round here and has been constantly improved since.

(Is there actually any other synth that dates back as far as Rhino and is still being updated?)

So if you don't know Rhino yet, that's the one for you to try! Extensive features, thousands of presets, super-nice developer, low pricetag, incredibly mature.

MUX is a modular synth & effect suite & sampler, and is quite under-rated, too... I've never seen any advertisement for it...

VAZ Modular. Yes, I know it's been around a while and even has a sub-forum here but very few people speak of it. I think it's great. Good solid sound with a very flexible and friendly user interface.

Mux is a beast, i remember a blind test of it vs Sylenth1, it was really hard to point out which example was played by which synth.

I used it for example to stack 4 instaces of TAL U-NO-LX with additional macro controls (detune layers, filter settings of all at once) and some FXs. It's cool that MUX could use VSTs as modules.
I have also created a kind of Formant synth by using a bank of bandpass filters (each with a certain Cutoff frequency).

Do you know some excellent lesser known paid soft synths?
