I mean obviously there's Serum, Vital, and Phase Plant and all the popular ones, but what do you find yourself using?

My current rotation is:

  • Phonec by Psychic Modulation. Really dreamy synth meant to sound like a nature documentary from 1984. Very Boards of Canada.

  • Repro-5 by u-he. Really nifty emulation of the Prophet 5.

  • VCV Rack. The best software version of a modular synthesizer rack around. You can get lost for hours in sound design. Also it's free!

  • Dawesome Abyss. Honestly a little finicky and difficult to use but can make some super thick pads.

  • QasarBeach by Adam Strange - It's free! Super crunchy recreation of a Fairlight CMI IIx. Probably the most impressive free softsynth I've ever used, and it's more than that! It has a tracker, waveform editor, sampler, a ton of stuff. The GUI is just beautiful. It's really really hard to use and clunky, but it's just got so much soul and love put into it that I can't help but poke around in it sometimes.

What do y'all enjoy using? Also this is a great comm idea and I hope we have lots of cool threads! flag-non-binary-pride
