1. Spectrasonics - Omnisphere 2 VST3
2. Korg - Wavestation VST3
3. reFX - Nexus 5 VST3

 

and hardware?

ciao

 

big workstation - fantom or montage, etc.
analog synth - moog
virtual analog - depends on styles of music

 

HARDWARE

1. ASM - Hydrasynth Keyboard Snythesizer
2. Korg - microKORG 2 MBK
3. Roland - GAIA 2

 

God, I feel old. Still rocking a Kurzweil K2500k, a Akai S5000 and a Roland Juno-G. Don't judge to hard.

 

One of the big workstations, a Nautilus, Montage, or Fantom. This one with a fully weighted KB so actual players will be happy.
A big analog poly, a Prophet, Jupiter, or OB-X.
A patchable mono, too many to choose from but something to the effect of a 2600 or MS20.

 

strange answers, I thought everyone knows its Juno 106, DX7, Model D

 

Moog Subsequent 37, UDO Super Gemini, Elektron Digitone II

 

analog4 and a beringer edge and all the vsti i can get serum2 and ni massive mk1 and fm8 work great for me

 

I use an Arturia Polybrute, Arturia Drumbrute Impact and a Moog DFAM/Subharmonicom combo on the hardware side and Synapse Legend HZ, Arturia Pigments and usually the u-he Repro on the soft side.

 

VST

1. Serum 2
2. Don't need it
3. Don't need it either

Hardware

1. It's 2025
2. ...
3. Cheers !

 

Right. You can find anything you want, so who actually only has 3.

 

That's easy as abc hehe. Grab these 3 holy grails and you 're set for life. I see nothing more essential than these. Perhaps an Oberheim OB-X/OB-XA could be in there too.
1. Moog Minimoog
2. Sequential Prophet 5
3. Roland Jupiter 8

PS: There are modern versions of both 1 & 2 that are almost indistinguishable soundwise from the ogs of the 70s. As for #3, I hear Uli's prepping a 16 note polyphony Jupiter 8 clone. It's been a long time in the making. If it's as close as the other clones Behringer made, it's gonna be a real commercial win with this one, because the og costs around 5-6K which is a real bummer.

 

Soft: Zebra2 - Sérum - Analog Lab
