There's a milion Virtual synthesiser plugins out there all trying to sound on their own best way. One is fat and screamy like massive, others try to emulate older hardware boxes.

I found out about Sylenth1 on a dutch forum and when I tried it I immediately fell in love. The only short description I can find for this jewel is: Roland meeds quasi midi meets waldorf.

I actually never heard hardware that could produce unisonos which were this 'airy' and at the same time it's able to put down a convincing 303. All the effects seem to be tune to just get that 'spot on' 90s' lush & wide trance sound, and the built in compressor is just enough to give slappyness to synthesised percussion sounds.

It's as if this synth is made by all the producers of great dance songs at once.

Just listen for yourself (and put &fmt=18 after the url to listen in stereo)

The stereo image seems to reach from here to tokyo, which I just love if a synth can do that.

I just felt compelled to recreate one of my favorite hit songs from the 90's. Just because Capella's producer could create beefy synth layers like no other: this plugin is actually able to closely proximate the glassyness in their songs and I think the guy(s) that produced them are the 'vangelis' of dance music.

It's not meant as a remix, just as a showcase a little testament to a unique fat sound!

Normally I use cubase 4 studio but because I couldn't wait to create this demonstration, I sat down at my entertainment PC and created this without any keyboard, with Rreaper!. Which turns out to be great software for sequencing as well.
