I just remembered I need to get the Coloring EQ (I remember putting it into my basket, but I can't remember why I never bought it).

Anyway, I'm just after some recommendations for other REs like that that I've long forgotten about but are must-haves.

It's sort of like hip-hop/RnB.

So many fantastic REs!

Hard to list must-haves, especially in synths, so here's the effect RE's I use most frequently:

Synapse Deep Reverb, Fat Space, GQ-7
Soniccharge Echobode
Kuassa EVE-AT1
McDSP FRG-4RE
Softube Saturation Knob
JP Chenille

Common theme so far...

FRG 4RE
Selig Leveler
Synapse GQ7
Synapse DR-1 Deep Reverb
Kuasa EVE EQs

Would be interesting to keep track of the top 5 RE suggestions..

Too bad Synapse doesn't do an update on GQ-7.. Some dynamic bands would be cool feature... It's such an easy EQ to use..

Instruments:

eXpanse

VK-2

Algoritm

Friktion (I'm hoping to get this in some sort of package or deal one day)

Effects:

Coloring EQ

Decimort 2

Resampler

(Open slot for whoever makes a new accurate LA-2A RE)

Selig Leveler

RX950

There are so many amazing RE.. but if you say "must haves" the list is easier to make smaller. I truly believe anyone should own these devices and experiment with them, not just me personally

Algoritm is a must have, not just a great Re, one of the best Virtual Instruments I have used in any format.
