Top 10 Synths and/or Effects for Pulsar

huffcw · Post by **huffcw** » Mon Nov 11, 2002 11:33 pm

I am curious what people feel are the top 10 synths and other plugins (free or otherwise) available for the Pulsar.

in order of often use:
1. hummel bluesynth: can't be easier. Just throw it in the tune for instant Cream quality.

2. Masterverb: not really a plugin, but still can't live without it. Has to be in everyone's list. hehe

3. Celmo Bluesman free: You don't have this, something's gone terribly wrong. If you have it and don't like it, something's gone terribly wrong.

4. DADEV Multicomp: Seems like I'm the only that uses this. Not recommended by many, but I still like it. I use it in all my tunes.

5. Celmo Subbass: We all like bass don't we?

6. modIII: can't find the ultimate module? Make yourself one.

7. EXCITER: An easy to use free device. Check http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... 1&forum=16

8. finaliza: don't use it myself, but I'd definitely recommend it. Use it for sample preparation

9. D-Comp free: A new one, but will probably become a classic. Instant results.

10. My rhodes 73 patch: hehe, just a joke. But definitely worth a check. I like hooked on this thing.

1) Celmo's BassmanIII - great for bass, dones and leads

2) Celmo's Deep Blue - as above

3) CW Prisma - fantastic range, great tone

4) CW Lightwave - punchy and flexible

5) CW ModV2 - the best from CW

6) CW pattern delay - best of its kind

7) Celmo guitar amp modeller - never used it on a guitar, but great for FM synths and drums

Mjerom FM4 - great little freebie (whatever happened to Mjerom ?)

9) CW mixers - anything after the bugmixer is fine

10) CW Arpeg02 - could be better, but there's still not much to compete with this either in DSP land or native

marcuspocus · Post by **marcuspocus** » Tue Nov 12, 2002 9:57 am

1) celmo guitar amp modeler -> a must
2) lightwave
3) modular 2 or 3
4) prisma
5) masterverb
6) celmo x-machine (do marvels on a mic)
7) Hummel dubsub, (nothing comes close to hit, nothing)

SPL Transient Designer -> All you guys, try it only ONE times, you'll never wanna live without, seriously, the very best plugin i have, so efficient it's scary.
9) Hummel bluesynth
10) latest Creamware Inferno

and 11, for me it is there, to usefull not to mention, even if it's not really an 'effect' or a synth is the VDAT...

Quality first:
1) SonicTimeworks stuff - wish it worked in XTC
2) MiniMax - on the basis of the demo alone
3) anything by Wavelength or Neutron
4) Prisma
...

I'm always won over by sound quality and usability. Are there new plugs? Is anyone still developing?

Those here are the ones I like most of all, but it’s difficult to choose among so many different things. I would have liked a list of about 30 synths and FXs, cos I cannot really tell… there are quite a few I like as much as the ones I’ve chosen to put in the list

CW Vectron!!!

STS 5000

Celmo’s GAM Guitar Amp Modeller!!!

Celmo's Bassman III!!!

Celmo's Deep Blue!!!

CW Lightwave!

CW M.II patches and possibilities!!

Hummel bluesynth!

Hummel Inferno!!!

CW Master Verb!

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Zarg yet!?

Personally, I haven't found anything that can touch his Prophet emulations.

King of Snake · Post by **King of Snake** » Thu Jan 23, 2003 2:05 pm

Yes, the Pro One is the only 3rd party device I have so far, and it's incredible.
I would buy the other Zrg stuff but I'm out of money for the moment.
But it just sounds amazing, if there's anyone complaining about softsynths not being as fat as analog, I tell them to listen to some basslines made with this.

King of Snake · Post by **King of Snake** » Thu Jan 23, 2003 2:07 pm

aside from that, I have a thing for the Ligthwave and the PT Free reverb. A good and low on DSP substitute for Masterverb.

Everything I really liked was mentioned with the exception of 3 outstanding synths -

1) Saturn - 'nuff said

2) Hummel's Mutant - I just can't stop messing with this one, I really like it.

3) Anphetamine - it's so different I use it almost as much as I use Dope.

I've been playing bass since '80 and I've not being for so much time with SFP and all this virtual (and not, too) studio devices but few experiments with ADDITIVE kept my eyes on it as really interesting. Deserve this one some attention and learning time or is it possible similar performance with some other one (in a easier way)?
(As a newcomer the point I've found is to get time to learn, try/use and compose with all this power/wonderfull stuff.)

siberiansun · Post by **siberiansun** » Sat Jan 25, 2003 9:44 pm

1. timeworks mastering compressor

2. modular, assuming you got it and use spirits' or kens' patches.

3. lightwave

4. waves plugins, good for anything and everything.

5. prisma

6. gibson sg.

This is hard because the ones I use in songs aren't always the same as the ones I like to muck around on. Putting this together made me realise how rich the choices are. I must use about 25 synths and picking these 10 meant excluding such beauties as Thrust, Freakmod, Neutron Micro, not to mention all the individual mod creations (counted as one here). Granted, I can't make Pulsar sound like my old Korg T2 or a Roland JV, but then that's why I kept them!

STS-5000
Prophet Plus
Pro One
Lo-Fi
Saturn
Mod III
Vectron (Player)
Neutron Star
Neutron Transplanet
Hummel Mutant
