The 20 best VST plug-in synths in the world today

New for 2011, MusicRadar users' ultimate soft synth collection

MusicRadar’s verdict

FabFilter Twin 2 sports three oscillators, four filters with a variety of modes, and a clever modulation routing system that gives you plenty of creative possibilities. This is all packed into a slick interface that makes the synth easy to use.

That said, Twin 2 is still relatively light on features in comparison to some of its rivals. However, what it lacks in breadth, it makes up for in depth. It’s great fun to program and play, and in terms of pure sonic beef, it even gives Sylenth1 a run for its money.

four and a half stars

  • Circuit RecordingsThese days, Synth Software are endless in dance music from house, dubstep, drum n bass or techno. On protool I use most of the above and even use vstation as bass. Depending how you feel in your mind of what type of element of synth you want to use depending what kind of tune you want to produce, Believe me or not, when you use synth like tone2 or what, you always change your music at that moment rather than what's originally in your head in the first place. Rob papen, spectrasonic and native has always been on top of the game, But others has joined the top marks such as refx, fxpansion, lennar digital, tone2 and others. my best synth are endless because they all do different things.
