the search function of this forum will tell you a lot, and also, a vst that is good for one style, may be useless in a other style...

Out of the million VSTs out there for a myriad of different purposes, it's hard to give a definitive list on "what's nice". If you're looking for something more specific (along the lines of "what's a nice FM synth-style VSTi"), it's a lot more easier to make suggestions that actually make some sense...

That said, I'll still put up a favourites list:

Tassman
Filterscape
z3ta+
PolyIblit
Reaktor
Drumatic 3/Drumatic VE
µTonic

...just to get you started.

Also check out the free vst Crystal: http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/about.html Try out the wavesequencing and 'Blend' function.

If you need a bass/lead synth you have to check out MiniMogueVA. It's free also but one of the best Moog vst's out there. http://glenstegner.com/softsynths.html


Check out this screen shot.




Korg Legacy, Absynth, NI's Pro-53, NI's FM7, Kontakt, and Sonik Synth all get a good work out in my studio as well. You get a ton of sounds to fool with in Sonik Synth: http://www.soniksynth.com/Main.html?prod_SS

stylus rmx and ewql stormdrum for drums, spectrasonics trilogy for bass

[ianscott111]

Sonic Reality (the people that make Sonik Synth) make things called Expansion Tanks. These are basically specialized libraries deidicated to a specific 'genre' of sounds (it comes with a 'light' version of Sampletank). They've got some of the best strings and guitars I've heard and they're not too expensive.

my current opinion:

* best drums: Spectrasonics Stylus
* best bass: Spectrasonics Trilogy (only adjustable presets) or the Arturia VSTi's
* best analog-like synth sounds: the Arturia VSTi's, Superwave P8

PS: a few less known but very underrated outsiders are the G-Media impOSCar ( http://www.gmediamusic.com/gforce/im.../impOSCar.html ) and the EMS Synthi-VST ( http://www.emsrehberg.de/SYNTHI__s/S...vs_plugin.html )
