soft synths

[relish]

aaarrrggghhh! ive been pulling my hair out trying to make trancey chords on fruity's 404 and simsynth. Does anyone have any pointers or could recommend other synths to use and where to get em from?

im halfway through a hardtrance tune and its really stopped me from doing any more

thanks for any help

everything is softsynths except the strings

i used albino for the bass
vaz for the back up trance synth
fm7 for the lead
albino for the effects sound

juno x is a must for trance producers.

like already mentioned fm7 is also top quality.

Novation V-station. Nothing can touch this at the moment IMO.

Agreed, the Trance 2 preset with portamento turned off is wicked for leads in my opinion :)

If it's the Juno sound your after then there is a much better emulator, you can download the demo at http://www.dashsynthesis.com/, i was impressed :)

That link didn't work for me I'm afraid. What's the synth called?

For getting good Juno style fatness, the z3ta+ is amazing... Plus, you get to warp sounds in ways the Juno could never get anywhere near.

Juno X annoys me - you can't LFO the filter frequency! I mean, really... That's half the fun of a Juno imo.

Plus the enveloping is screwed. Not a well written synth.

Sorry about that, they changed addy's :)
And it's called Da Alfa 2k.

That demo does have some rather tasty sounds in it!

Crap tune though.

depends what your after. i dont use v station but i bought the k station years ago and its still a great sounding v/a synth.

just so easy to jump on and programme.

perhaps a bit thin were leads are concerned due to its polyphony but with a bit of outside processing you can sort that.

still a great synth for that analog sound, novation filters are loverly too.

and if its a warm rich rolling bassline your after then look no further.
