So I started with Massive, and I've gotten pretty good at it. It's also the only synth I own. Most everything I produce I either make my own sounds from scratch, or I alter around some presets to get what I want it to sound like. However, there are obviously some sounds that Massive doesn't really do well; like piano/chorus-ey type sounds. I'm absolutely torn between what synth to get next and I just can't decide. I've always wanted to grab Sylenth for it's legendary status, but I don't want another synth that's similar to what Massive can produce.
At the moment I'm on a future/deep house kick, but I also enjoy making hard hitting electro and presently expanding into the "future wobble" or whatever you wanna call it type music (Juaz, Chocolate Puma, Valentino Khan etc. ). Obviously Massive can do most of those things, but I don't know which synth to pick to fill in the gaps for more harmonic type stuff. I use Ableton's built in instruments for some stuff, but it just lacks that extra something special that can't be described in words.
Any recommendations or personal favorites? I've also tried FM8, but only for a short while so I'm not sure what it's capable of. I don't mind paying for something obviously, but recommendations for something free wouldn't hurt either.
