I've never really considered synth sounds (always focussed more on sample libraries), but this thread made me take a look at u-he, and then I reached Dark Zebra, and wow! Very cool!
I'm not sure I'm ready to jump in yet, but might download the demos and start to learn. I already have synths in Komplete Ultimate 11 (Massive, FM8, Monark, Kontour, Flesh, Razor, Absynth, Reaktor, Form) - but I've never used any of these and don't really know where to start, so my question is: (i) is there one of these you'd recommend that is an easy introduction but sounds good, and (ii) is it a night and day difference between these and Zebra synths? Most of the Komplete sample libraries I don't use anymore (with rare exceptions) because I have better bespoke alternatives, so would the difference between the Komplete synths be like going from the orchestral sounds in Komplete factory to Spitfire? Is it that kind of difference we're talking?
