What are your favourite [free] soft synths?

Dunno if it interests you, I'm doing electronic music and my faves are albino 3, sylenth and vember audio surge. Check em out:)

Not free...





I like camels Alchemy Player Free quite a bit allbeit limited.
UGO synths are excellent as well.
But my all time faves are HG Fortune. Very nice for getting ambient/spacey soundscapes.
 
Synth 1 hands down.
Best 'crunch' factor out of the one's I've tried, it just breaks up really well when you add some distortion to it.

Some good suggestions thanks guys, I particularly like Model Pro.

On a side note, I cannot fucking WAIT until plugin makers catch up to 64 bit. I've literally spent the last two hours trying to wrap these plugins to 64 bit, somehow managing to make Windows Explorer crash about 15 times, create at least a thousand instances of error messages and lock my computer up twice. Fucking hell.
 
Minimogue LUXUS, this thing is awesome!

I'm with you on that! :)

I also love this one http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=1041&show_vid=no
And Oatmeal (which as already been mentioned)

Some of the DSK stuff is quite good, although very hungry on the CPU. And feel free to try motion2.8 ( http://www.ugoaudio.com/plug-ins/motion ) for some ambience/landscape/weirdo sounds. Oh and Gargoyle is cool too, but that's just some spooky shit :D Not that useful.
 
Also while not free, U-He Diva is currently the most realistic analog synth emulation and the only limitation in the demo version is a short subtle crackle every while, which you can go around by rendering short parts just after hearing the last crackle (or by buying the plugin of course :) ).
 
Bump, I'm fucking loving Synth1 right now, now that I can actually understand and manipulate it. It's pretty overwhelming at first, but you can get pretty much any sound you want out of it. For example I followed this:

And got it sounding pretty close. It doesn't have the waveforms in the vid, but its close enough. Add in some clicks from an organ synth and its badfuckingass.
