psychasm Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Dunno if this is valid but I dont use any hard synths, im a shitty producer, anyway, mainly all the free synths i can find on the net: for most of my last mediocre productions i used: In reaper:--b-line 303, and synth 1, dune cm, tal noizemaker, in reason: mainly subtractor and maelstrom, sometimes predator( also as a fx device) ,and parsec for additive sounds. fx i use a lot is minimal systems free analoguefilter, acon digital multiply(free version) and whatever free stuff i can download off pluginboutique,kvr and BPM blog:) maybe this doesnt help but thought i would share anyway, it might be of use to someone out there cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 My latest tracks are mostly made with Virus TI but I'm slowly getting back to softsynths. Spire sounds very convincing and is much easier to handle in a DAW. Also Discovery Pro is a really fine softie, I never owned a Nordlead but I like to think that with this Discovery I can pretend that I have one . Massive and Diversion are also great for modern psy sounds, Diva and Juno/SH-101 emulations by TAL should be good for oldschool goa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Virus, this is basically a plugin in a box, no magic in it but I happen to love the sound and the workflow, the only disadvantage is that you can run only one instance of the virus plugin so you have to bounce everything and also that plugin takes forever to load. I wish Access release a native plugin but I highly doubt it will ever happen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolgoa Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 a VIRUS!!!!!!!! Very Dirty, Very Phat, Very Good yeayeeayeay whateverrrr shyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks, I have this Juno-lx and also their 101 plugin, they both are great. As for your other suggestions, I think I'm covered by what I already have. Thanks nevertheless, this may be useful for other people. I admit that I don't have enough skills and patience to make great sounds with crappy free plugins, but I admire the people who can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taubheit Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I like the topic so here are my 2 cents: I don't think it matters what synth you use - it's more about what you can do with it. At first I used only soft synths - Sylenth1, Massive, and some others. Even though I owned some hardware synths I preferred soft - probably because I was used to software after playing around with Reason for many years. Then I started using hardware a little. Then more. And more. Now I use only hardware. It's more fun, I get more feeling from twisting those knobs and I think they sound better than software (some more, some not that much). Producing music on hardware synths makes it totally different process for me. Right now I use: Access Virus B Nord Lead (first edition) Roland JP-8080 (not using it much recently) Moog Sub 37 I used Virus and Nord Lead a lot for a while. Then I got Sub 37 and it is becoming my go-to synth. So good. So easy to use. And so much fun! Whether you decide to use soft, hard or both I think it's just a matter of preference. Same goes for 'what synth'. Try as many as you can and then decide what works for you. There is no 'best synth for psytrance' in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Well, I have to say that Virus seriously kicks ass. During my first few months with it I thought it is just another cool softsynth, only put into a dedicated box, but finally I realized that it's got just this sound which I always associated with quality psytrance.
