U-He – DIVA
DIVA is one of the best VST synths globally, with excellent sound quality and very close to the analog, straightforward interface and great sound presets. Diva has accomplished the authentic emulation of analog synthesis.
It emulates many various sections that allow you to use more than one synthesiser together in different modules.
One of DIVA’s cons is that it’s Very CPU Hungry. Keep your analog mindset while producing music and resample once you are done with your sound design to avoid huge CPU loads.
The hybrid oscillators and Filters are what make DIVA so special and unique. You have choices like classic analog or FM and Digital synthesis.
U-He Diva is emulating sounds from the most legendary analog synthesisers, and guess what? They sound remarkably close!
The emulated oscillators are:
- MiniMoog
- Juno60
- Jupiter8
- MS-20
- JP8000/SEM
Great skin for U-he diva from Volta and Aiko; it’s prominent and easy to use.
Xfer – Serum
Like Massive, Xfer Serum is now one of the most popular VST synths in the market for electronic music production. Every producer uses it, and why is that?
Serum is a powerful wavetable synthesizer and one of the most accessible synths to learn if you are a beginner sound designer. Despite the chaotic look in the main window, it’s still a very flexible synth with an easy-to-use interface.
This VST synth has a wide variety of high-quality presets available to choose from for those who aren’t into sound design.

Analog Lab V provides 800 soundbank patches of high-quality analog-type sounds. I am sure you will find what you’re looking for in this bundle.
Arturia happens to be my favorite VST collection, and I thoroughly recommend it.
Native Instruments – Massive
For many years now, massive is the flagship of synths from Native Instruments and a music production standard. It has a very easy-to-use interface and exceptional sound quality.
Massive is a fully functional wavetable synthesizer with each oscillator providing two waves to combine in many different ways.
Many well-known red carpet producers are using Massive, and for that reason, there are tons of presets in the market. It’s suitable for beginners and to learn more about synthesis in a digital environment.
