There's a great post running on
VSE where people are posting samples of "mediocre" synths. The discussion was started by Architecture who called out how great
Sealed's samples of often dismissed synthesizers sound. I agree. It's interesting how one, things move in trends and two, what sounds good really is subjective. When digital synths came out, people started pawning off their old analogs for cheap. People on budgets picked them up and started making incredible music. Now analog is back in fashion and you can get the old digital synths of yesteryear for cheap. And... You can actually get some amazing soft synths for FREE. Title link takes you to the VSE post which currently includes samples of the following (make sure to check out the link for more samples as they come in - I won't be updating the list below. Also there is more info on each after the hop):
