Rhino or z3ta+?
Gonna be buying a new soft synth soon and have narrowed it down to these 2 contenders.
I've tried the demos and can't really decide which to go for, both have a good range of quality sounds and possibilities. Which do you would be better in the long run?

V-Station. If you want modern 'phat' sounds
this is the daddy, esp with a touch of PSP
vintage warmer as an insert.
I've got a VA synth - my Waldorf microQ so I'm really after some different kinds of sounds... should of made that a bit clearer really. Will try a demo tho, maybe it will swing me.
Hard choice mate. I'm trying to make pretty much the same decision, but between a new synth like the z3ta+, or some god effects (reverbs, tube emulators and so on, stuff that will actually make my music sound "better").
I've gone off the idea of the z3ta+ recently, but mainly because it looks like its getting quite popular (FM prasied it very highly in a recent VSTi round up), and prefer to have something a little bit different from the rest of the crowd. But thats just me.
I suppose the really good synths are those that are versatile enough to make them still sound fresh enough if you program them properly. I know what you mean tho... once people start using a certain synth it can start to sound stale pretty rapidly.
You could also check out the Virsyn Tera, Virsyn Cube and the extremely nice and somewhat underrated D'Cota... also made by Virsyn I recon---
(no I don't work for them) :wink:
Computermuso since intel8088 - Hive made

D'Cota is made by Steinberg (I think...)
:wink:
You also get to feel smug and elietist by using something "rare." I guess thats one of the appeals of real hardware snyths. They're not as easy to come by as the virtual ones (which face it, nearly anybody could get any synth free off a warez site if they wanted to). So, by having a nice shinny new/old moog/whatever, you have something that is hard to get. Who cares if the VSTi sounds identical or not.Originally Posted by Bantam

Had a look at Cube, but that didn't get a very good write up in CM and although I don't always take what they say as gospel they're usually pretty much on the mark. Haven't really heard too much about D'Cota to be honest. Anybody using it?
I rekon Pentagon kicks the bottom of all the other soft synths I've tried and that includes V-Station, the new DiscoDSP one etc.
I think the Z3TA would be even better as its built around the same software. Not as easy to use perhaps.
