A single synth that came second to a 'super bundle' of synths. Pretty good going.

That's pretty awesome. I had thought Europa VST had gone pretty unnoticed compared to some of the other heavyweight synths out there.

Slightly related: I've heard some people around here claim it "wasn't successful". They make me laugh - synths that land in these polls don't land there from advertising purchases - these are user polls. Clearly people are buying/enjoying/using Europa VST/AU, and that's awesome. :thumbs_up:

Big win for Props, for sure!

It's easy to forget that what might be just another new device for long time Reason users might have a wow factor to people who have never stepped into the Reason universe.

That's neat. Only beat by a collection of a bunch of synths.

Still takes 1st in my book.

Hmm...yea, i thought about this too, but not the whole collection is new. CMI is pretty cool and Buchla has a very good sound. Hard competitors.

Weird to post "best of 2018" few weeks before the year is over and before the release of Dune 3, Pigments and Hive 1.2...

Anyway, congrats to Props for Europa - fully deserved! :thumbs_up:

Yeah, they tend to do these polls to time the results around the beginning/middle of December every year for some weird reason. Guess we'll see Dune 3, Pigments, and others appear on the 2019 polls.
