Don't forget Native Instruments' Skanner XT. It combines oscillators and samples to produce some very interesting, organically evolving sounds. And there are some great modulation options. It's an often overlooked gem in the Komplete family. You can use anything as a sound source in it. Of course NI's demo tracks are often atrocious and heavily slanted toward the dubstep kind of genres for some reason, but don't let that put you off. 
 
Another great one in Komplete is Rounds. It's a totally unique multi-voice synth which produces sounds which I don't think I've heard with any other synth. I've come to love it and use it in all of my projects purely on the basis of how interesting and original the sounds it makes are. Oftentimes when I've become disillusioned with a project, I'll replace one of the pads with a Rounds patch and tweak it into something that's so engaging that it kickstarts the project back into life. Another gem which Native Instruments fails to promote adequately because it aims it almost completely at the EDM market.

Here ya go. Fifty bucks.



Yeah I know. Everybody says Shimmer or Vintage Verb sound better than Blackhole. I have the opposite opinion, I think the Valhalla plugins sound great but a lot more artificial than Eventides monster.

Watch for sales. Two weeks ago Eventide Blackhole was selling for $40. Eventide does end of year sales too.

you want 'organic'?
 
quit using plug ins and samples then.
 
record something.

Something else to take a look at here: https://www.tracktion.com/products/biotek
 
Biotek organic synthesizer.  Combines VA with sampling.
 
I got a 30 day trial to this included with Waveform, and it appears to be very well suited for sound design and film scoring.
 
"Combining organic natural and environmental samples with a world class synthesis engine and inspirational user interface, inviting users to dig deep into the world of digital modular synthesis."

Lush pads and strings, had to all start with some oscillator settings the sound designer started with anyway... So my best guess is stop playing with the sound designer's sounds, and start creating your own sounds to put in your own tracks, it's originality that is a concern, I'm not saying that I have not used other sound designer's sounds on my tracks or that other sound designer's sounds are of no use.
 
I was creating a saw waveform the other day spent like 30 minutes on it, I didn't know exactly what I was doing but I had created a sound I never heard before.  And that's the power of starting from scratch.  I start my bass with one or two oscillators. Mids with a triangle waveform, and leads with like a pulse or bright saw, so many creative electronic sounds to put into your music the point is, just creating your own style that is you, and not conceived by other people's work.  But of course you have to give credit to the synth's creators and the software you use, if it wasn't for the technology, I'd still be beating on a desk..
 
Thanks
