    Synapse Legend HZ and a close second would be Arturia Pigments.

    I'm on Harmor right now. I am fighting with it to see if it can actually be an all in one.

    One of the computers at a tech school I was at a few years ago had Massive X installed, was playing on and off with it and eventually I claimed my free version from an akai deal, I should get back to it and shred some waves, but I’ve been into VCV a lot lately especially since I got some premium modules for my birthday

    My only issue with that one is it gets very cpu hungry at times… hoping once I get an M4 Mac it’ll subside or at least not be so demanding

    The same DUNE 3 as it's been for ages. And it's not even in the list, WTH

    I’d say VCV Pro 2 is currently the favorite right now, but I don’t usually pick favorites… if I could only have so many I’d pick

    VCV
    Falcon
    Pigments
    Omnisphere
    Massive X
    Serum 2
    Chromaphone
    Absynth
    Alchemy (if I had the space for it…)
    Korg Triton

    there’s probably more like multipoly native, Surge XT, Multiphonics etc. there’s a bunch I can’t remember them all… I know Zebra might resurface to the top…

    Phase plant. i feel like i can make any sound i want or imagine with it

    also something about how it looks makes me feel like im in the future, which helps with sound design (also it has a lot of skins). though especially after i make a patch and i see all the graphics moving all sci-fi and hi-tech like. makes me feel like i made something cool thats alive

    The SQ8L is amazing. Loads of libraries available on the net. There are 4 banks of sound included and you can import other banks into Bank A. Make sure you save the original Bank A before overwriting it! It's never crashed on me. It only uses a tiny amount of CPU power. How the program file is less than 1meg big I'll never know.
