I'm just looking for basic but good preset synthe sounds not unlike the Killers used on their debut LP "Hot Fuss". I tried absynthe but wasn't feeling the presets and don't know enough to tweak them to sound how I'd like, besides they didn't have much in the way of steady saw/lead type stuff. And Omnisphere is too massive for what I want.

I've had all of the Motif keyboards...tried the Triton models...many Rolands...and the Nord Electro.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make a synth sound similar to the one featured in the prodigy's hit "Firestarter"? (Right at the beginning of the song)

Here's the tools I have at my disposal:

Reason 4
Absynth 5
FM 8
Massive

I'm looking to get some sweet but straightforward enough synthe VST instruments so I can make sounds and all that. I want some realistic sounding stuff which is simple enough to alter. I tried Absynthe 4 but felt way in over my head with all of the tweaks that you can make. I don't know, anyone have any suggestions of good synthe VSTs either pay or freeware?

If your into synth sounds this is what they call a no-brainer!

I hope you enjoy,

As the subjects says. has anyone got some good suggestions as to what works well as a realistic sounding piano synth.

I dont have the funds or space to buy the real thing and really really want one.

Cheers!
