My Desert island Synth

[vurt]

It's a very very tough call between Zebra, Falcon, Reaktor and Surge over here...

reaktor is the winner.
all the fx as well as synths, samplers, sequencers...

[EvilDragon]

Not winner in CPU usage or ease of use tho.

I assume I would have more important things to do on such a stupid island than playing with a synth plugin. Like finding a way to get back to my charmingly run-down city

Now, if you ask me what my favorite synth plugin is, currently it's Retrologue 2, a few months ago I still would have said Sylenth1.

I own Massive X and I was deciding whether to take that instead of synth1 but the latter won because Massive X sounds always have this "sameness" about them.

That hollow - industrial - metallic flavor.

Some of the latest presets have been demonstrating what it can do, and they show promise, but there is always this feeling that its limited in some way by its synthesis method, and when I am on the island I would want a synth that can do everything reasonably well.

So Massive X is limited but Synth1 is not! You just use presets, right?

I am mostly a preset + tweak type of person, yes.

I find Synth1 very easy to program but find Massive X more daunting.

I have been playing around with synths since the 1980s so I know how to program normal synths, but Massive X would require a lot of time for me to get my head around and I have been very busy of late. So I have just been playing with the presets when I get the time.

So are you suggesting that it is capable of the same range of timbres that Synth1 does with ease ?

you're on a desert island, maybe now you have time? to get more in depth.
seems a waste of an opportunity.
no one interrupting, no work, other than hunting a coconut.

It has to be Surge because you will soon get very lonely on the island and Surge has all those free presets which were programmed by people you might even know and that will cheer you up.

The others have presets programmed for commercial gain by strangers.

True, but Synth1 gives mt that happy vibe every time I use it, and Massive X has yet to hit that spot.

My desert island synth would need to be large enough to use as a flotation device

reaktor isn't a synth tho.....

U NO LX

[AnX]

who said that?

[haslo]

VCV Rack with all the modules.
If anybody says "that's not a synth", I'll instead pick Voltage Modular with all the modules.
