Hi, guys. I'm trying to find the softsynths with the best b4 and juno emulations. Can you name some of your favorites? Thanks!

There's a series called Analog Monsters, which have NNXT patches of the MS20, Juno 60, and a bunch more. I find Reason't Sound Bank to have a very decent B3 sound, but if you want to get the top notch quality, go with Native Instrument's B4.

I recently got the Native Instruments B4, and it is very good. It now goes for around $200 and you get a Farfisa and a couple other organ sounds in there too. You can also use the B4 as a plug-in for any audio track, which is pretty cool.

just my 2 cents:
For re-dick-u-lous Juno sounds...
It's really hard to beat the Reaktor 4 Junatik Ensemble. Although Reaktor is SUCH a cpu hog and hard on some display cards, that i usually use Reason--rewired to PT-- to arrange and sequence the parts, then double basses and strings with Junatik once the song is done.

actually i use Reaktor Session these days...essentially a Reaktor Light, and a less expensive and better choice if you don't wish to engage in more intricate programming.

also, the new SonikSynth 2 plugin (RTAS) is a rompler with an 8GB library that has just about every flavor of analog synth ever made. it comes from the makers of T-Racks and Sampletank, and is in fact uses a heavily enhanced Sampletank engine.
that said...it slays Sampletank.

and there is new one called Ultra Focus--another 8GB rompler plugin that covers all the vintage instruments
... and the Albino plugin from Linplug which does some really good Juno sounds as well.

anyway before i drone on all freakin day...
download the demos of SonikSynth2 and Albino and Reaktor and see what you think.
most of them give 7 to 14 days before you have to activate/authorize them.
as the cliche' goes: let your ears be your guide.

good luck-
