I've always had a soft spot for Rob Papen's Predator (the original one). It's not the most versatile synth in the world and is a bit fizzy sometimes, but it has some serious prophet-esque fatness that I do occasionally reach for over other more popular offerings. Don't hear it talked about very often.

The Maschine Drum Synth.
It looks like nothing. It can do everything. When I first really took a deeper look into it, I felt stupid for ever having bought additional drum sounds. In fact, many of the dope drums in all of the hyped expansions: Maschine Drum Synth with a few FX thrown on top.
And the fact that it looks like nothing and can be twisted from rather realistic over circuit bent into electronic classics with just a few knobs is also really ingenious, because there is so much going on under the hood.
If you look for Maschine Drum Synth on YouTube you can find a talk with the two main developers which is worth the watch

Sounds like an antiseptic mouthwash
I wouldn't swallow that stuff
This. I've been using it a lot lately, solo or layered with samples, within Maschine and also to generate sounds for some garage-y and other kits ... outstanding job by the devs.
Another synth I mentioned some days ago in a different thread would be Massive X. ... despite NI's ongoing negligence of some basic functions that would make that thing even more useful (user/3rd party preset management, wavetable import,...) it is one powerful and flexible synth and just sounds great; downright organic here and there.
Izotope Iris / 2. Bought it years ago; the idea behind it sounded brilliant and the novelty factor was through the roof; what ended the game for me was the fact that every time i opened it up, somehow i ended up choosing whatever random sound source i could find and making organ partials out of it... :D

That's alot better than making fart noises
Indeed, but after a while one starts wondering " how many organs does one need?" (pun intended).That's alot better than making fart noises
Aaaaand i'm pretty sure i did it the other way around (ended up with a partial out of a fart sound)

Yeah, but you’ll be surprised when it has cleaned up your mix, completely, AND arranged all the parts to the perfect spot in the universe!!

Blamsoft's Expanse is the sleeper synth of the century.
