It was popular but nowhere near the big ones.

See for yourself:

Wow indeed! Had no idea zebra was the most popular ( I knew about omnisphere)!!
 
Interesting to see Zebra up front. Who is using Zebra as a preset machine? I hear the Dark Zebra is must have territory even in the more electronic circles I tend to land in.
 
The Hydrasynth has been stealing most of my time lately, but Zebra has become my most-used soft-synth otherwise!
 
The one NOBODY has EVER heard of: SKYFALL!

I will say outside that, my EX5 is always just such an amazing instrument. I know it's got its issues...but the sound. The DAC. The Headphone AMP. I think it was the ONE synth that I have heard where they spent a LOT on the signal quality chain. My Motif ES does not compare that well.

Bring on the new!

Omnisphere + Massive (not Massive X). Have just started exploring some of NI's other synths: Super 8, Razor, Kontour... I'm finding a use for them!

Why promote this mythical super-synth which you have no intention of selling on multiple threads?
 
Currently (for software)
- Twin3
- Model 84
- Opal
- Hive 2
- Repro

I have many others, and have recently deleted Model 72 and 82 to see if I miss them. But also added Generator.

More and more, I feel I’m settling in on the above. Together, those are an incredible sounding 5 synths! Spanning analog to some wavetable (which I don’t do a lot of - but will try the new Serum 2 when it’s out and the mystery synth as well if it has it).

Sérum is not on the list ! :grin:
I don't have it. When it was first released I just didn't get on with the sound of it. I know there's probably many revisions since then but that impression stuck with me.

I ended up getting a little know Reason RE called Expanse by Blamsoft and then Vital came out. And I also have Phasplant which seems to cover all the modern synthesis ground I can stomach.
