Jim Walker VA normally is substractive

Wavetable Synth were the first he mentioned ;)

...and he mentioned Substractive and FM synth at the end of his video as well ;)

...and the typical VA-Synth are Substractive synth anyway ;)

Thanks Steve!

I agree. There are so many videos out there that just crap on and on. Very clear presentation.

Separate libraries are usually always better than "Romplers", so for those type of sounds you are probably better where you are at. However Omnisphere 2 is a pretty good synth, that can be used fo a lot of creative stuff.

Even as a subtractive synth, Sytrus performs pretty darn well imo

FM8 by NI

It's a hybrid synth. It is subtractive, additive (because of the OSC tab) and of course, there is an FM and RM aspect to it. If you know, there is also PWM in it. Using the 'Even' function is an example.

Avenger is pretty cool. I just started using that one, and it's killer.

Yes, it's so unique.

I would say Omnisphere 2. Goes great with FL Studio 20, now that you can track out instantly, that way you can keep your cpu at a minimal instead of opening multiple omni for different sounds. Omni 2 has deep deep presets, like 10,000 presets covering all ranges of soundscapes. Its also expensive around $500, so thats why i recommend buying it first. Good flagship synth for any electronic/urban production.

Best comment there will be on this entire thread ..

@@YudazOwn Complete bollocks! if you have a shit synth how can you make a good synth sound!? fuckin dumbarses

the clicks are the huge problem.. you can craft with filters etc.. and multi effects nice sounds but it always depends on the main source.. if the main source has nothing important its basically near impossible to make sth good out of it

Alchemy is amazing! Don't know if you know, but before Apple bought it to bundle with Logic, Camel Audio had a bit of a cult following with that synth and sold it for $249

Surprised you didn't mention Alchemy in this video!

I wonder if the fact that it's free makes people think it's not worth their time.

Yeah, I think thats exactly it

That's a shame. The only negative I've found in it yet is it's kinda difficult to navigate through.

Here is my short answer recommendation if you are new: 1) I would recommend a mid-range priced stage piano vs just a MIDI controller ($2500) so you have hardware sounds in case your computer ever crashes during a live performance, but you can save money if you go with a quality controller like that Roland A-88. 2) NI Komplete (VST software package), because it has synths, drums and orchestral instruments. Most importantly, it includes the full paid version of KONTAKT sampler. There are quite a few free sampled instruments that require the FULL version of Kontakt, and most of those freebies will not work with the FREE version "Kontakt Player." The next thing you should add is 3) Omnisphere (used in countless TV and movies) If you have a little extra cash, check out Keyscape (also by Spectrasonics) has the best quality and collection of acoustic and electric pianos anywhere. Watch the KZfaq videos by Spectrasonics will give you a taste of what they can do. I have not heard a better virtual analog synth instrument (or VST) than U-he's "Diva", so you might want to add that to your arsenal at some point. For your audio interface, I recommend, Universal Audio's Universal Audio Apollo Twin MKII DUO (or other UA interface). This stuff should do you well. You can always go bananas on more gear, and it all depends on what you want to do, but if you purchase this stuff, in this order, it should provide a sound foundation whatever you want to do. Add a Shure SM-57 mic, and you may not ever need to buy anything else. Hope this helps.

Dexed, Virtual CZ, and various Virtual Analog (like arturia V collection). samplers and wavetables synhts were not that common in the 80s.

Zebra2 is my desert island VSTi.

I just need to get my hands on Harmor. Additive synthesis and resynthesis are just what I need! owo

Omnisphere is great! You wouldn't regret that purchase

do you own it? does it come with free updates or new patches? I am kind of a one time purchase/downloader for the most part. I still run kontakt 4.

Plus, you can get Fl Studio vsts too, so you can mess with Harmor if you want it, am I right?

I'd love to get Harmor. Though, unfortunately for Mac users, it isn't available on their platform :c

Well... yeah you're right, never thought of that... that's a bummer...

Let's hope it gets an AU port. I think more than just us Windows users could do with an amazing additive synth~♪

They both are coming soon. Imageline is working on them!
