single VST with best SYNTH PRESETS for modern electro-pop/hip hop

[World Wide]

I am looking for the best SINGLE (not a bundle) VST with the best TWEAKABLE PRESETS (I prefer tweaking existing presets than programming from scratch) for modern electro-pop and hip-hop.

I'm looking to spend under $200

I'm thinking maybe one of the plugins from u-he or Tone2? Or maybe Sylenth?

If it helps, in the realm of synths, I already own Reason 4, z3ta+ 2, Sampletank, Sonik Synth, and Analog Factory (plus obviously a bunch of the free stuff)

again... I'm looking for MODERN... Analog Factory has me covered on vintage!


Any opinions are much appreciated!

have you thought about upgrading to Reason 6.5?

from Reason 4 that is a big jump...

^^^nah I haven't. I haven't really seen anything in it that I think benefits me! I'm not looking for a drum synth or pitch correction or "enhancements" to the reason sequencer.

I don't think any of the upgrades since 4 have offered anything to the ReWire Reason user.

first off... there is ID 8 Instrument Device, Pulverviser, the echo, alligator, polar dual filter, line 6 guitar amp, line 6 bass amp, softtube saturation... take any device in Reason and run it thru one of these effect processors... then there is the Rack Extensions...

Yes, but again, I'm looking for synth presets... not FX for reason instruments.

"Which car should I buy?"
"Have you checked out skateboards??"

Tone 2 gladiator is great super easy to tweak. Try the demo

cute!!!

see... the way i was looking at it... first get comfortable with the new effects... then as the Rack Extensions come out... then you would buy them... i.e. for the $200 you would spend on "one" vsti... you could get "three" Rack Extensions...

with that said... NI are having a 50% off on their products... i.e. massive, reaktor, fm8, etc... you may be able to get 3 vsti for $200 with NI...

Hmmm not a bad idea. But I just looked and Massive isnt on sale... so it would have to be Reaktor, FM8 and Absynth. How do you think these would meet my needs (in terms of preset quality, tweakability, and moder-soundingness)??

Do you think gladiator is better than Firebird or ElectraX?

These are the two I was moreso looking at, but I have no personal experience with any of them so let me know what you think!

^ idk about Firebird but I've tried out ElectraX it was okay, liked gladiator much better.

Before you decide to buy anything try out Sylenth!
