Best "modeled" Synth apps For MacOS?

[pax-eterna]

Not sure what is available in the category for MacOS at this stage, so wanted to ask those experienced users here.

What would be the best modeled synth apps (AU - or mebbe VST3 at a pinch) For MacOS? Must be modeled, not sampled!

There are so many, and you'll have to expand on what you mean by 'best'.

What are you looking for? Modeled retro synths? Modern workstation-like synths? What kind of music? Ambient, EDM?

You'll get a lot of pointers from AI with a search.

Most audio plugins, including VIs (virtual instruments), come in both AU and VST formats.

One of my favourites is u-he Diva. It simply sounds like it has a bit of extra power and depth. I'm a long time producer and musician, so I know my audio, but never really a synth guy.

Also; there's tons of free stuff, like here:
