I agree with all the ideas which you presented in your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. But the positions are too short for novices. Could you please expand a little next time? Thanks for the post.

Can you upload presets for TAL U-No-62?

In reply to Fin. Unfortunately, not as far as I know. The synth was last updated in 2008. You can try using a 64-bit wrapper.

Great list! Thank you very much.
I have crossed this one. Because it’s not a synthesizer but a sampler, I don’t know if it belongs here. But it’s very funny and interesting VST.
Cyclone (https://soniccharge.com/forum/topic/432) is based on the 12bit Yamaha TX16W sampler. In fact, it’s rather an emulator, than a clone. You even have to use floppy disk images to get factory sounds into it (you can save FXB, FXP later). Of course it can do sampling too :-D
Available for Mac and PC.

In reply to James. Some really good points there, thanks. I will update all of these VST round-ups by the end of 2016, and I'll definitely add Dexed to the list.

You’ve got some of my favorites here, but I see that Dexed is missing. This is a DX7 emu which like the SQ8L also runs hardware patches, (If only I had the real the deal.) Dexed runs on PC and Mac and be downloaded at https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/

Another one I recently discovered is the KX-SYNTH-X16-V5, a modular soft synth based on the EMS VCS3, I haven’t had the chance to dig into it yet because I only recently found out about it but if you’re looking for Pink Floyd or classic Doctor Who soundscapes this is probably the VST for you. It looks like it’s pc only and can be downloaded from http://kx77free.free.fr/English-page-download.html

I can’t wait to try some of these others, nice list!

In reply to Evan Romero.

I’ll need to update this article a bit. There certainly is a Mac VST version of PG-8X, you can grab it here: https://sites.google.com/site/mlvst0/

So few mac compatible instruments. I thought the pg-8x had a mac version?

Tomislav, you can fix info about Hexter. Cutevst page is up and running for a year or so, and all plugins are available.
