Default I rarely buy plug-ins - not 'cos I'm tight haha

Hi,
I make hip hop beats and use an MPC as a VST in Reaper. I have bought some Bass and Sample Romplers geared towards classic hip-hop sounds and have only begun using a synth (as I use clean bass samples in the MPC and do the 16 levels) since I discovered the incredible TyrellN6 which to my ears as is fantastic and doesn't require me to read and watch dull videos about synth programming as I know the basics and it has so many great presets I just mess about with them. It seems to come top pretty much of the free synth lists.

Variety of Sound effects are fantastic. Blue Cat are too. The Scarlett pack that came free with my Scarlett interface is very nice. The TAL synths are good for basslines. For hip hop it's more about the quality of drum samples etc and a decent sampler. Tbh I DJ and would rather spend my cash on vinyl when quality free VSTs are out there.
