Yup, the Saturn, the Prisma, UKnow7. Plugged through the Moonizer and a Stereo spreader.

Try it out, Adim.

Prisma (but a hungry DSP-eater)
Celmo BassmanIII (it's not just for bass!)
Celmo Supreme (silky smooth)

* Celmo gear is far more friendly on the DSP

Zarg's Ambient and Rotor48 are very good for pads/ambient doodling but are heavy on your DSP (and wallet). I've only tried the demos as I've splashed out on a Scope SRB and have no money left for synths, but the Ambient is the next big purchase I intend making.

my 2 cent:
layer one: a Wavestation sample
layer two: one of the above
add layers as needed, but don't take it too far, stop before it changes to white noise.

cheers, Tom

Jupiter 8, Oberhiem Matrix 12, WaveStation. Add programming chops and stir to taste.

Rotor48 by Zarg!

Yep , the Rotor48 is the thing. Sound quality and flexibility of the Rotor48 is superb!
Btw, just got my Minimax, love what I saw until now and managed to make some decent pads with it as well. But Rotor Rules!
