    Dragon is fantastic for those type of sounds. also, carbon in the factory lib is good, and photone (which costs $$$ in electronic instruments 2) has some great sounding D&B bass/synth sounds. also, Grobian, in Elec Inst vol 1 is fantastic for those kind of sounds. EI1 is available for download for fairly cheap, and is worth checking out. Anima is awsome, and rhythmaker has some interesting drum modules (like the spectral editing for the snare drum). note that the last 2 i mentioned are not really aimed at D&B sounds, i just mentioned them because EI1 has some gems in it.

    look at the filters in Dragon and Menace. if you can emulate those type (LPF + Notch) in other synths you can get good D&B synth sounds. saturation/distortion is also your friend, and you can't forget LFO's - LFO on pitch or filter is a staple in drum and bass synth sounds.

    If you want to really start flying with those D&B sounds try using a flexible envelope on the cutoff of a pro53 filter for example or use an envelope to subtly change the phase as this gives a nice sense of movement/filth.
