really great freebie
this VSTi sounds amazing, period. I think its geared towards leads, pads and pseudo-sequences, but the matrix-like routing is so flexible it can really do anything. Sound quality is top shelf. I have actually been using it for basses doubling my hardware synths a lot. You can really get your bass sound to evolve with each note using the FM and various other modulation options via the 2 envelope generators and LFOs. Maybe not great on its own, but over a solid moog or arp line punching up all the accent notes?

Kiesza Bass
I use this one only for Kiesza - Hideaway sounding bass preset that i found somewhere and i really like it. Probably there are a lot of nice sounds in this synth, i have to spend more time with it one day.
