Europa
Legend
VK-2
Zebralette
Vital

Looks like i need to buy legend and VK-2.
Because the other synths you mentioned are also my favourites.

Give also a try to obsession, same category as vk2 and Legend but even better sounding IMHO.

I have to mention Grain, too.

Drop in any sample, and go crazy!

100% agreed!

Grains is a grain+spectral cocktail like no others...

That's still pretty quick in comparison

...That simple sequencer marker people so often spoke about could be done in a few hours - compared to RS' attempt which is simply never accomplishing it, ever.

But for youngsters the main barrier of Reason is probably that it is not seen as cool. Sad but true.

But i do think reason is cool....

Oups, I am not a youngster

To play around, I felt in love with fabfilter twin 3, the UI is really the best around and the visual feedback of what you are doing on the sound really really help. I am not a great sound designer and it's like this plugin gives me super power. Like the OP I love obsession and the legend. Twin 3 se...

So it seems. I should have added that it seems to have a big dollop of Grain and Mimic too. Crazy number of combinations. And I have to say all the visuals on the Play UI are quite delightful. I am actually delighted that this thread could help you discover pigments. It is really a fantastic synth....

Based on these results I picked up Pigments (while it’s on sale and music press reviews were off the charts). Seems like a turbo powered Europa. Yeah they have a lot of similarities... But pigments has a major advantage over Europa... It's being updated very regularly. So it looks more and more tur...

With latest votes... very funny to see Synapse Antidote and Dune 3 being tie... Europa is now king... 1st - Europa. 1.5 1 2 2 1.5 1.5 2nd - Pigments. 1 2 1 2 1.5 3rd - Dune 3. 2 1 1.5 1.5 3rd - Antidote 1.5 1 1.5 2 4th - Thor. 1.5 2 2 5th - The Legende 1.5 1.5 1 1 6th - Grain. 1.5 1 1 1 7th - Phase ...

Might have to grab one of these, available in some truly vile colors; https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Reason-Studios-by-Smithy1978/68142921.WFLAH this made my day :lol: :clap: at just 43 euros a pop and with that design...notice the fine craftsmanship on the cube's outline...it's a steal! :) th...

Or they should just employ some beta testers rather than expecting me to do their bloody job for free. This is the whole point of beta testing lol... Beta testing: Versions of the software, known as beta versions, are released to a limited audience outside of the programming team known as beta test...

After using Fabfilter Twin 3 since a couple of days, I am baffled by how engaging the UI is for sound design, in particular for substractive synthesis. The fact that you have so many filters richness and visual feedback at the same time is magical. You can see and hear directly what you do and what ...

Bitwig!! I have much fun making music with Bitwig but I absolutely hate their instrument browsers and the way they list plugins in the GUI. As a big big fan of bitwig I don't fully agree with you 😅. The browser is a bit complex but very powerful. Where i agree with you is that there are 2 missing f...

To be fair, most of music software developers are already Europeans, bitwig, ableton, FL, Reason, Arturia, Fabfilter, NI, Izotope, kilohearts and many others.

Speaking of Swedish House Mafia perhaps we're looking at the wrong companies? If IKEA bought Reason Studios you'd have affordable controllers designed by Teenage Engineering and the studio furniture to go with them. I'm hoping a R+ subscription will also come with a monthly bag of Daim bars deliver...

That good copy protection can hurt your bottom line. FL Studio is arguably the most used DAW because it is also the most pirated DAW. The misconception is that someone with a pirated copy will never buy a license, but in reality people either abandon the software because it is not their thing (so n...

Arturia and UAD would be more logical choices strategically but even there the business case wouldn’t be super strong, Arturia have their own thing going and I’m not sure what Reason would add, and UAD already have a DAW (Luna) and serious plugin coding chops. ... TL;DR: dunno. But let's hope it’s ...

"FL Studio is installed 30.0000 times/day with peaks up 70.000 times/day". WHHHAAAT ???? That looks like 30-70 times to me with some decimal places thrown in...

By the time Reason finally gets M1 native support Apple will have lapped them a third time with the M3.

Actually it is M native support, so it will be compatible... The M compatibility is just due to a one-off architecture change.

"FL Studio is installed 30.0000 times/day with peaks up 70.000 times/day". WHHHAAAT ????

Will be interested to know how this plays out.....

Whoa, didn't know UVI was French, didn't know FL was Belgian...

Seems Europeans have a kind of taste for Music Production Software ...

Sorry to say but it is still very very trancey ...

But the atmosphere is very pleasant, the elephant sounds are really nice and go well with the percussion.
The mixing and Mastering seem to be very good, it is not tiring on the hear and the kick really standout the way it should (in my opinion).

Again I do believe R12 is stable NOW, but at this point I've simply lost interest.

I find it very healthy that we all have different perspectives and tastes.
