Piano/Synth/Strings/DM Plugins

[Whizzinby]

Armed with a midi keyboard I started the free trial with Roland Cloud, the ultimate turbo championship version or some shit. So far… friggin ace. Zenology has a bunch of awesome stuff, and ive been screwing around with the various Juno and Jupiter models. I’m hooked on the drum machines atm like crack. Have a few more weeks to determine if I’ll subscribe to it.

Anyways, not being to familiar with this world, what are some other good plugins and software to eventually look at?

Any specific classic presets to key in on for the popular synths? Looks like most of the Roland models have the original presets. (I think?)

Two that I've been loving the hell out of recently are Native Instruments Tines Duo and Claire

Shockingly realistic sounding


They just put out a Reeds Duo that I feel obligated to get too


Here's the first lil test recording i did with Tines Duo:

@Devin

Have you tried the Noire plugin? I stumbled on that watching more Claire demos and the particle effects sound kind of awesome. Looks like Claire has that too?

I’m sitting on go if those dudes ever put Claire or Noire on sale. I’m using the Roland Earth pianos since they come with my Cloud bundle, but they don’t wow me like their synth stuff.

I started the demo of Twin 3 by FabFilter. Sounds good. Very clean, almost produced. A handful of presets are excellent, but I think the synth stuff in Roland Cloud (Juno, Jupiter, Zen) might be better, or just have more instant vibe. I’ll keep kicking the tires on it, it’s cool that Fab does 30 day demos.
