Great list! I'd also add Zebralette from U-he. A great learning synth, at least for me!

A few I've used here and there:

Futucraft Kairatune (subtractive monosynth)

Hinton & Fairchild FMetal (simple FM)

Full Bucket Nabla (string machine emulation)

Full Bucket Scrooo (formant filter synth)

and more specialized:

Plogue Alter/Ego (voice synth, but good for lots of abstract weirdness)

Saltline Drzewo Korzenie (kick and clap synths)

evilantal · Oct 25, 2016

These get used here as well...

ML-VST PG-8X
Siegfried Kullmann SQ8L (32-bit only, though)

synthpunk · Oct 25, 2016

and p.c. only still ? But it does do a great Ensoniq!

SQl8 is very nice.

I would also like to add this one: https://sites.google.com/site/mlvst0/
I used to have a real Jx8p and sold it after having found this VST!

Fond memories of my old MKS-70/PG-800. Did me so well.

Anyone knows of a Korg Trinity (first edition, not V3), or Alesis QS8 vi?

synthpunk · Nov 12, 2016

Not any free romplers out there that I know of Andre. The closest was probably Air Expander2 which was just $1 recently over the summer but I see the price is back up to normal now. You can pick up a good hardware rompler module pretty cheap on your local craigslist, reverb, and Ebay ie The Roland JV series, etc. But I think most people these days are using there Kontakt carte blanche.

It's much easier getting opinions on which ones are worth the effort from people here than trawling through the entire KVR database and trying each one

The $1 AIR XPand deal is still on at AudioDeluxe btw..
