Hi guys. That´s what I look for. Plugins, synths with these sounds, software releases like What About... any stuff containg presets or emulations from 2 Unlimited, Technotronic, Guru Josh, Depeche mode, Twenty 4 Seven, Sash, Faithless, The KLF... any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

 

To recreate that kind of vibe you need to study what gear they were using at the time. The first that come to mind are:

• Roland TR909: You can find dozens of emulations in vst

• Roland SH101, TB 303, Korg MS20: dozen of emulations of them also

• Alpha Juno:There are various 90's signature sounds on it, try the AudioRealism ReDominator

• Emulator II: Depeche Mode used this sampler as it was famous for its 12k bitrate and its signature filters. They have also released all their libraries for Kontakt

• Roland JD800: Lots of emulations

• Korg M1:super 90's house music pianos and organs. Vst official emulation from the same Korg

90's house / techno was also a lot into sampling, search for Zero-G samples collections:

Final notes:
No vst emulation is capable of 100% recreating the original sound, but you can get close to it

Thanks for the replies. Long work to do

 

There is a TON of overlap in those synths. you could cover the whole list with only a few, if you pick wisely.
You have to remember that a lot of these synths are "emulations" of earlier synthesizers; so there is usually nothing that separates them from newer plugins which are 64 bit, and that you probably already have in Falcon or someplace else. A 32bit DX7 is not going to be very different from a 64bit version with another name on it. You should look at the hardware versions and pick the best ones from either "generation" 32/64 bit plugins to do those style sounds, so you don't end up with a lot of plugins with only limited purposes (for you) to them. Then again, none are that big by todays standards.
