    I want to know what your favorite synths are/what patches you seem to use most/your workflow for patch creation/favorite outboard synths/favorite vsts; free &/or paid/favorite synth sites/etc

    My two favorites are Massive & Edirol Orchestral. I'd say 90% of my tracks without samples use at least one of those two.

    Feel free to talk synthy below!
    Where the gearslutz at!?!?!?

    Mostly I don't need anything more than Image-Line synths like Sytrus or Harmor. I loved Massive or Zeta+, back when I used to make edm.

    I like Massive for my pads. I've been using a lot of free synths lately for pads though. I don't have Sytrus/Harmor access. Never needed them.

    I heard Orchestral was free nowadays but I can't find a download link anywhere to put it on my work computer.

    I'd say my top four most used synth plugins are
    Sylenth1
    Nexus
    Spire
    Harmor

    I want to try Sytrus but that s--- looks complicated and to be honest I'm not very deep into sound design.

    the most into that i ever get is just with my adjustments to the presets i make and the eq's/effects I put on things.

    There's only one synthesizer that I use.

    Sytrus.

    It may be complex but once you know how to use it, it's the GOAT synth; I don't use any other synth other than that.
