i think you guys are missing the most important thing...
there are diferent kind of sintesis on each vst
the best sounding vst´s are subjective issues, if you think that the good sound came from the way you are modeling the plugin...
there are good analog and interesting sounding vst´s
best analogic - Sylenth 1 (no doubt about this...)
best digital sounding - there are many, but some vst´s give you digital sounds with very interesting textures...
gladiator 2, is a very good digital vst to creat new kinds of textures, and for that reason is very usufull in sci-fi sounds
massive, as a better sound than gladiator, but i think is dificult to modelate, altough is one of the most warm vst plugins i ever eard (not considering romplers)
but like i said, this is all subjective, if you use the right mixing and tricks... you can turn the sheapst vst sounding in fat killer sound patchs

I would like to understand why so much people love sylenth. There are very few filters and modulators.
When i do a nice song with zebra, i can difficultly do the same with sylenth, while the contrary seems to me more easy.
I'm not blaming this synth, i just want to understand where i'm missing what makes it so good.

I'm enjoying using Massive and Surge right now for pretty much almost everything I do. I was an Albino enthusiast for many years, but I found more routing possibilities with Surge... funny enough, now that I've learned more routing possibilities with surge, I can actually do more things with albino than I could before.. it just took really being able to understand envelopes (and surge being able to temposync stages of the envelope) to change how my sound works... for sure for certain sounds there might be a vst that sounds "fatter" but at the end of the day, I'd rather be able to use 1 or 2 vst's for the whole song, than 50 different ones to make each individual sound. Whatever you decide to use for vsts, learn it inside and out. if you know how to program the synth, you can make just about any sound. On that same note... I'm a fan of the camel alchemy as well. It's the newest addition to my synth arsenal, but the audio file manipulation it does combined with the endless modulation capabilities make it severely own in a lot of ways. I just wish the filters didn't sound so plasticy all the time.

+1 @filters suck, and sound overall is not the bomb, but modulation and sample engines are the bomb and make it extremely versatile!!

well as sylenth´s routing is limited and effects are also more or less standard, its sounds are PHAT out of the box dude. so I use it for 2-3 standard sounds each track and Zebra and others for the rest, just makes my soup a lil bit more tasty

a good trick for the Alchemy is to couple it with the camelphat... I know that the camelphat is supposed to be built into the thing, but I like the sound from the original a bit better.

it s limited but what it does it does it well imo.
a other synth that seems limited is strobe,i didn t like it at first but with time using it i can say it can be very deep and it s a bomb , the raw sound can be very good , in the same league as the old nords (it remind me something about the nords), on some raw patch it ll blow away most va hardware or soft like the nords do |

Why nobody talks about Poly-ana? -> http://www.admiralquality.com/products/Poly-Ana/
It sounds very good even if it hasn't built-in effects (no reverb, no delay....), upsamplig up to 16x (768 kHz) good filters, good envelopes (with adjustable curve, exponetial, logarithmic, linear), pwm on all waveforms, osc morphing and much more.

I realize that now. For a simple patch i generaly find it slightly more nice on sylenth than on zebra. But i don't find sylenth interface comfortable. It's like an old wooden machine. I have no creating flow with it.
Lennardigital should use its sound techniques to build a modular synth. Why not a partnership with u-he ? =D
