    It's crazy good. Good sounding and very playable keyboards. And now you get the "Keyscape Creative" in Omnisphere adding 1200 patches to Omnisphere.

    UVI Falcon (with MachFive 3 sounds which makes it more Komplete ;)), I also upgraded to V-Collection 5, but find myself going back to their Rhodes emu the Stage 73; it is awesome.

    I also like a few drumkits in Marble Rims

    Why don't you list yours mate? In the spirit of participation... :)
    For me I'm into bfd3, Maschine kits and Geist for my drums, although I'll also use sample packs from Samples from Mars, Sample Magic, and Sample phonics.
    Instrument wise it's all about Spectrasonics' stuff; just picked up Keyscape, which I'm really excited about, but haven't had a chance to play yet. Love Trilian, and am digging into Omnisphere a little more since @theinvis got me thinking about it again.
    Kontakt is still my goto instrument for creating sins though; is versatility and 3rd party content are second to none.
    Also just getting to grips Modo bass, it's equal or superior to Trilian, although Trilian trump's it on having an amazing upright, and gorgeous synth patches...

    dredd what setting are you using for keyscape when using your push, I'm trying to find the best one but they don't have push on the list

    I haven't used it with Push yet.
    I'm still inly a few days in, and am getting used to it with my piano (a Yamaha P45).
    Will let you know, but bear with; I'm Daddy Day Care, and my music time is much diminished ;)

    Falcon sounds damn good. I DON'T like that the controls of Komplete Kontrol don't work with the Falcon UI. I also don't like that they are now expanding the sounds which have to be purchased separately in expansions.I knew both of those going in but I still felt it was worth it.

    I am at least mapping the sound banks in Komplete Kontrol which is still awesome.

    Drums: As of late, I have been using Hello Samples Acoustic & Analog drums Funny thing is, I like them better than the ones I bought from them. I've really liked to use that kit layered with an analog kit like the standard Maschine Jazz Kit or the Modern Oddities samples from Samples From Mars.

    VST: I've been using Addictive Keys Mark 1 a lot, Helm, and Sonic Factions - Archetype. But I'm not sure they are my favorite, they are just what I have been using. If that makes any sense. (I spend a lot of time looking at better things but not buying.)
