Here's my take on it:
- SimSynth - good for those classic synth type sounds. Tuning can be tricky
tho.
- DX-10 good for basic classic FM sounds. I like it for basses and weird
noises.
- Wasp - good for FX and harsher sounds
- DrumSynth - my preferred choice of drum sounds - it has just enough
controls to make it useful/flexible without so many that it just becomes a
bore to use.
- Dreamstation - not a native fruity plugin (DXi) nice for pads and some
classic analog sounds (like the "Chicane sound" for example) :).
- Soundfont player - better sounding/more accurate than the VSTi options
I've tried out.
Overall I like fruity specific plugins over VSTis because you have
continuous control over note volume/pan/filter/pitch etc (rather than
per-note), so if I need that degree of control, I'll go for a native fruity
plugin over a non-native.
DrumSynth and SimSynth get used most often in my tracks.
There is also the point that I like what ImageLine are doing as a company
and buying all the add-ons is a way of supporting them and encouraging them
with future development. FLStudio is still scandalously under-priced IMHO
(or maybe everything else is overpriced??), so I'm not that fussed about
parting with a bit more cash in their direction ;-).
