In my opinion, Pigments has the best (i.e. most "usable") factory presets of all the other mentioned workhorse synths. However, I still prefer using Phase Plant for creating my own sounds.That’s the issue for me. PP filters.
Pigments is a joy to use.
The only PP soundbank that had some substance was the one from Luftrum, but again, what Luftrum is capable of is another story. Just listen to the Tal Uno soundbanks and the one with 14 instances of Tal Uno…,
No need for crazy infinite modulations…
To be honest, I'm not overly-impressed by most of the sound packs for any of these other synths. They predominantly feature an over abundance of very "sound designery" sound effect type presets, which are only suitable for a very narrow niche of music genres, in lieu of more practical instruments and sounds.
So if I were rating the factory presets (and available sound packs) for these synths (with regard to practical and "general usability"), I'd probably rank them as such (from most useful, to least useful): Pigments, Vital, Serum, Phase Plant, Current.
However, for actually creating my own instruments/sounds, I'd still choose Phase Plant over all the others. It's workflow is unmatched (imho).
