any producer worth their salt could make shithot dubs with the stock FL plugs. spend less time downloading a new vst for every preset you think you need and first learn to use a few simple synths WELL

3xOsc FTW!!!
But, original poster, i think you fail to understand that synths ALL do the same thing, and its the techniques you use while programming those synths that wll give you the results you want, not other synths. Albino may have ambient presets, but that in NO way means thats the only sounds it can make. Learn about waveforms and modulation.
I think you are confused by the Itchy synths. They are called DUBSTEP synths because they were made by dubstep producers, and have some neat presets too build on, and make some of the common sounds in dub happen a little smoother then handprogramming them into a traditional synth. But, they are simple hybrid synths, with PRESETS related to dubstep. However. The only trance song I have ever wrote was made using the Skyscraper.
There is no such thing as a genre or sound specific synth. YOu said you had FM8, which is arguable one of the most powerful synths there is. I suggest you look up 'FM8 Wobbles' on youtube, and go from there, before you assume all the FM8 can make are 'Piano sounds'
