"I really like Diva when I need ideas. If I use a software synth, it usually is this one. Diva has a lot of great sounding presets, and then you have all the options to tweak any parameter. If it sounds too clean, I'll send it through some analog gear like the MFB FilterBox or the Moog's filter to get it a little dirtier. I also love Fabfilter and Soundtoys, the Decapitator is awesome."
