This is the one to get first! July 11, 2007
I've been noodling with soft synths for a while, and if I had to choose a synth from the Native Instruments family for that fabled desert island, this would be it.
First, I picked up Absynth 4 Native Instruments Absynth 4, which is cool, but requires a lot of study and ultimately is best at making unusual, evolving sounds, so I view it as a "pad" synth.
Next, I bought MASSIVE Native Instruments Massive, which is way more intuitive than Absynth, and comes with a lot of fun stand-alone sounds. Alas, MASSIVE's trouble is that it eats up a ton of RAM. If you use this synth as a plug in within a sequencer application, be forewarned that a gig of RAM won't be enough.
Finally, I got FM8, and really, this is where I should have started. It can emulate the sounds of the old Yamaha DX7, but it can do lots more. It has a wonderful effects section with an amp cabinet emulator effect that can make patches sound gritty and alive. It also has an arpeggiator that you can spend hours playing with. I won't even get into the morphing feature or the tweakablity factor of this synth - but you don't have to be an Einstein to make some great new sounds out of the generous helping of presets.
Check out Native's downloadable demos first, then plunk down your cash.
And also be advised that you need an Internet connection to register and fully activate Native's products.
Other than that, you can't go wrong with this one!
