G-Force OB-X
Roland Jupiter-8
Roland Zen Pro
Repro-5

This changes all the time for me but the OB-X and JP-8 are pretty constant.

probably...

1. Odin 2 - covers most of what I need day to day, basic sounds I can build on, versatile enough to cover my subtractive needs etc
2. Aalto - lovely fundamental sound quality and all that west coast goodness
3. CA Sines - just love the sounds i can get out of this
4. probably a coin toss between Surge and the Bazille I have (CM or Beat version can't remember), for when I want something a bit more complex.

The good thing about RePro is it's a two-fer, which at least feels like better value. But didn't they used to be $99? Have there been any significant updates I don't know about to justify the price hike? (Not that I ever use them.)

Hi @heliacal ,

Those are imho. the Fantastic Four Synths to keep. well done.

BONES · Post by **BONES** » Mon May 11, 2026 12:39 am

I haven't even the slightest interest in any of them. Maybe HALion is OK but I am too deeply invested in the Kontakt ecosystem to be bothered. The others don't interest me in the slightest, as much because of their price as anything. I simply don't see why anyone needs to spend that kind of money to get quality these days.

Kontakt is a sampler,not a synth.
