ImpOSCar

Earlier this summer, I was totally set on Zebra.  It was modular, could do a wide range of sounds, and there were a lot of great presets showing it off.

But I'm glad budgetary restraint kicked in as there were 2 hitches:

 I just installed some demos of VSTi for testing and had some quick, just messing with patches & knobs impressions:

Here are the contenders for my main synth.  I thought I'd be able to get some opinions from the IDM Forums and whittle it down to 3, but where's the fun in that?

Having used cracks in my previous incarnation, my choice of synths was vast.  I was on synth crack and if there was something new available, I had to have it, even though I didn't use them all.  The ones I did use frequently were Albino, Imposcar and Vanguard.  At least those are the 3 that easily come to mind.  I've let go long enough to have it all be a hazy memory.
