The thing is guys.........
You listen to the software versions and think there great. But why? What sounds great about them. Ive played both Poly6 and MS20 hardware versions.....and to my ears the software emulations sound boring.
I'd like to know why it is I feel this way about software synths in general. There is one exception.....the Virus. The Virus is the only softsynth that ive come to like. I think every set up needs a balance between Real and vitual analog + some nice wavetable + FM.
Alot of pop acts do use softsynth plugins.......and in my opinion...it just adds to th eshitness of the songs themselves. Pop music nowadays is bloody appalling......overused Triton presets and softsynths. The music has no real feeling and the instruments used have no atmosphere at all. I'd like to cast everyones mind back to groups like Japan and Genesis. Classic analog Prophet 5 strings, pads, blips and bleeps.......alot more real and atmospheric. Todays music sounds over produced, compressed, boring and fake. I attribute this to shitty song writing and SOFTSYNTHS!!!!!!!

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
