   can anybody recommend some awesome software synths for hard trance, preferably with some hard as you like leads.
   
   i need a vast sonic pallette which i seem to be lacking at the moment.

   The FM7 is awesome! I would definitly recommend that, maybe not for leads though. The Pentagon I is a good all around synth, and it's cheap as well. That would be usefull for leads, etc.
   
   z3ta+ is also a great synth, good for lots of stuff especially atmospheric stuff.

   Thanks for the advice Ephex, most appreciated, though I already own the FM7 and your right it is definatley awesome. :D
   
   I have my eye's on Rob Papens' Albino and I am definatley getting that this month.
   Also early next year I will be the proud owner of both the Novation 25 & the Yamaha Soundcard SW1000XG :woot: :devil2:
   
   Just you all wait an see, I will have versatility at my finguretips, a vast sonic palette & a shite load of idea's to go with it. Things are gonna get hard & dirty :pissed:
   
   Any other virtual instruments you can recommend? :music:
   
   cheers

   A pretty decent one is Synth1, don't remember where I got it, but it is decent. I also use Dreamstation, FM7 (Which you already use), Muon-Tau Bassline, Triangle II. The biggest one I use is FLStudio Producer VST, it has a bunch of built in virtual synths like the 3Osc, SimSynth, Wasp, and Slayer, plus a slew of effects to use.

   Synth1 is the ugliest sounding peice of sh$t I have ever heard! :eek:
   I just had to say that ;). It really is though...

   Like i said, its decent, I hardly ever use it, in fact, I think i used it once. I mostly use FLStudio Producer VST.
