Largo or Absynth. Both pretty similar in sound tbf tho'

Got Z3ta this week and that looks very interesting so far after a quick buzz around the presets. Looking forward to getting under the hood of that one and work stuff up from scratch.

Massive is pretty damn good for making pads I'd say.

Any wavetable synth is good as you can slowly modulate the index position as well as all the other usual suspects (filter, panning, pitch, detune, unison etc)

Absynth and Atmosphere are the top notch, but I don't use either.

Mostly use z3ta, sometimes Albino.

It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.
