Do you know some excellent lesser known paid soft synths?

Re:Helix, I just discovered this synth today by chance and have been extremely impressed.
Shame it isn't more well known, it's really up there with the best in terms of sounds and features.
I've just got lost for hours playing the presets ! That hadn't happened for a long time.
I'm definitely buying it as soon as it goes 64 bit.

inspired by this thread i browsed through the kvr database and found this synth:

AnaMark
i downloadet the demo and played a bit with it. the sounds are more analog, raw and dirty but usefull. it is a 3 osc synth with interesting soundshaping tools. you can combine the osc in different modes like mix, fm, pm, ring, ring2 and so on. there are 21 combining modes. also you can adjust the pulse, symmetry and phase of all the 53 waveforms plus you can add a second osc. most people know that feature from albino (rob papen). there is a waveshaper, filter and 21 effects. there is much more...try the demo
here are some demos i made with the random-preset generator...i made no more tweakings to it exept the wet version with reverb (ambience from magnus) and a bit compression with dc8c...

for 42 EUR i think this is a good deal but you have to know that it isn'n updated since years...

I like ANA, less than $80, and has good sound and modulation options

Anamark is a really cool synth, especially if you like unusual oscillator magic, it has it in spades. It's a pity the filters are really terrible IMO, but I still may pick it up one day for experimental sounds.Impulslogik wrote:inspired by this thread i browsed through the kvr database and found this synth:

yeah, the filters are a bit...i would say extravagant. i didn't understood them first but with a bit of trial and error and the manual i came to some good results...Sendy wrote:Anamark is a really cool synth, especially if you like unusual oscillator magic, it has it in spades.

Thanks for the heads up. This and psyBOX were both just added to my instrument folder.Impulslogik wrote:Oh, oh, oh...i forgot another beast => psyGEN.
It is an experimental granular synth from m-rgt with 16 layers and a build in sequencer. A mod-matrix, LP-HP-BP-Notch filter, different modulators like lfo, env, random...
And this for $33.50...unbeatable

JP6K is essential. Very accurate emulation of the real supersaw from the JP-8000/8080. Yes, unlike the various supersaw wannabes, you can get some really awesome sound with this one.

Did anybody mention Toxic Biohazard ?
Really a good workhorse with lots of tricks up it's sleeve.
Usually costing $99, it's half price until the end of May.

A fantastic synth, some of the rhythmic patches included are like listening to an Autechre album.
Sometimes I just fire it up and listen to it on auto
