I use FM8 for
everything but percussion sounds:
Name of VST: FM8 (form Native Instruments)
This VST does: FM synthesis
Quality: 10/10 for me
License of this VST (and costs): Commercial ($229 / 199 €)
Link to VST or site: http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=fm7_usIt's THE Instrument for OMPT for me, you can make ANY almost any sound you desire with it, can make strings, leads, basses, effects...everything ^_^, even percussion sounds if you desire (for this only i use a other VSTi, the DR-008).
Got too many features to describe, the best ones that i can think of are:
- it is has a very powerful graphical envelope tools
- Has 6 oscillators (with many special waveforms), 1 filter, 1 limiter/noise generator, and 2 LFOs
- Modulation matrix and the FX matrix
- got a lot useful embed effect
- every MidiCC parameter can be configured (~1100)
- the "sounding", it beats any other synth in my option. ^_^
The percussion instrument i reccommend:
Name of VST: DR-008
This VST does: percussion instrument (drums, snares, etc.)
Quality: 10/10 for me
License of this VST (and costs): Commercial (75 €)
Link to VST or site: http://www.fxpansion.com/index.php?page=21Uses synthesis to create the sounds rather than using samples, this gives you a lot higher level for controling the sounds and quality than any "fixed" sample based program. You can modify every shape of your sound. (or create one from zero)
