Any favorites for Mac?

Panurge8 · Post by **Panurge8** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 7:07 pm

I don't know about soft synths for macs, but my favorite hasn't been mentioned yet:

Smart Electronix Augur (prophet VS clone)

I've never played a real prophet vs so I don't know how accurate it is, but it has a nice sound.

Another nice little free VST - stringsynth. Use it alongside the Kjaerhus phaser

Taurus is another nice little synth I've been using. Grizzly, Chimera and Subduer are worthy of a mention too.

I like software synths to have a nice easy layout - best if everything's on one window without having to bring up too many screens or tabs. (Despite that I still like zynaddsubfx!!)

Another nice one for Mac - FreeAlpha3

Look for Jack Dark on KVR for circuit bent emulating vsti's

I like Atlantis and I'll probably add more as I go through the 1+ gig of free vst's I have.

Cable Guys Curve looks very interesting but I haven't tried it yet. You can draw your own waveforms with your mouse and the demos I heard sound awesome.

I downloaded a buttload and most of them were available for Mac as well.

It's one of my go-to VSTi's...very clean GUI, very easy to get what you want.

Others:

Xhip

Analog Warfare 3

Freehand

Majken Chimera

Oatmeal (here with Designermonkey's excellent skin)
