This synth has a very bright poppy sound to every wavetable it uses. Sylenth1 sounds beautiful for what it is, the design is a little boring but that’s just a mask. It definitely is a must for every producer, and the best part is that it is FREE!Įasily hands down one of the most popular VST synths out in the market. I also love this VST because all the parameters are controllable and can be modulated in real time to create some really really weird synths. Not sure if it is because the developer is Japanese or just the sounds it can create, has a very synth-poppy sound. It has a very unique sound and can best be described as having a ” Japanese Synth ” feel to it. Synth1 is a great VST and it is also free, I’ve personally come to love this instrument. Nothing is stopping you from creating a unique sound tho, So Massive is a must! The only downside, this is probably one of the most popular synths ever known so chances are you’ll hear it in one song or another. It’s great for patching up quick song ideas and such, and if enough time spent, it can also produce some very unique sounds. Enough flaming, Massive is a great fucking synth and it is an instrument that should be in every musicians/producers catalog. It’s always fun to watch kids making ” How- To”s.

Granted everyone keeps searching on youtube how to make a Skrillex Bass Growl with massive, I can assure you Skrillex does not use massive for his bass growls. It’s perfectly okay, this synth has the capability to make amazing sounds with very very easy ease. While it is true that everyone and their grandma uses Massive, it is safe to say. It was released in 2007 and since has been a big part of the mainstream EDM sound we’ve come to know and love.

Massive is also another must for any producer whether you are just starting off or have a ton of experience. That does not seem to be the case with Serum : /. Like I said before, with FM8 you are able to create sounds no one else can replicate. The only downside is, most music now and days has the same serum engine sound.

You can simply apply an LFO with any parameter of your liking and tweak every individual element, yes FM8 does the same but Serum has a much more friendly interface. Serum allows you create basically any sound and control the filter / filters with whatever LFO setting you choose. Some of the most unique sounds can be heard in many of today’s famous Riddim and Dubstep tracks. You can literally record your vocals screaming or however you like, and turn it into a complete synth. The uniqueness of Serum is that it allows you to sample in your own wavetables. Like with any instrument, it takes time to learn and master. While it may not be as complex as FM8, it definitely isn’t a quick learn either. Reason, why this VST is so well respected by the producer community, is because of its ease of function. Whether you’re just starting off, or are experienced. Next on our list is Serum, This instrument is a must for any producer. We live in a world where producers all use the same sample packs and presets, It’s good you’re wanting to be unique. Studying up on this complex instrument will give you a huge leg up. Granted, it won’t be easy, but there is plenty of guides on the internet and youtube that’ll give you a glimpse. Nicely priced at 150.00 US dollars, it is highly recommended for any producer serious about making new sounds never heard. Some good examples of what kind of sounds FM8 can produce can be heard in tracks released by Noisia, Skrillex, Deadmau5 just to name a few. But with anything that is worth doing, it will take time. Again it is not an easy instrument to learn, it takes a long long time. The ability to modulate any parameter live is what gives it such complexity. When done correctly, FM8 produces some of the most unique complex sounds ever. The only downside is, it takes time to learn and master well. We’re going to be examining a couple known VST’s (virtual instruments) Noisia uses in their production.įM8 has to be easily one of the best FM modulators out there to date, despite being released in 2006.
