Hi
Anyone experienced in this kind of music?
What synths were used at that time? Any resources or useful informations? VSTs suggestions if any?

Le Petit Prince, Rave Mission, Bonzai, etc.

 

As they emulate the old machines you´ll be fine with these buddies as a fundament http://d16.pl/products
Also have a look out for a Juno emulation like https://tal-software.com/products/tal-u-no-62 for the typical hoover sound.
Finally check out Synthblitz Audio´s Deep One for a wide range of oldschool sounds http://synthblitz.altervista.org/deep-one.html

Hope that helps as a starting point

Best trance era. Choose Roland emulators. You cant go wrong.

 

Search for the "Zero-G Datafile 1-3" Sample CDs. I think they capture the sound of that era perfectly.

Roland TB-303 Bassline
Roland Jupiter-8
Roland SH-09
Sequential Circuits Pro One
