Today I'm showing you the best synth plugins for making industrial music. These are the most used synthesizer plugins used to create cult industrial music albums by bands like Nine inch nails, Rammstein, Ministry, KMFDM or Front Line Assembly. Synthesizers like Spectrasonics Omnisphere, Native Instruments FM8, NI Reaktor, Xfer Serum or Massive. VST Synths that are still used today by music producers and sound designers.

I just want to clarify that this is no ''top'' whatever plugins. It's the most used plugins by industrial bands that we know of in no particular order. If you have more informations about what plugins bands are using don't hesitate to share it :) I probably forgot some important plugins, maybe an Episode 2 would be cool too? hehe Also leave a like, helps a lot the algo!

Best NIN album: The Downward Spiral. Had a huge headache after the first listen, what was going on was INSANE. Since then, it’s No 1 with no competition.
-
"If you don't have Serum what are you waiting for?" Linux support. Though, I am pretty happy with Vitalium (Vital).
-
Once again a great video. And as (I think) I have said before I am glad that industrial music fans and creators are finally getting some love on YouTube Keep up the great work!
-
Vital synth is Boss now and it is free :D for industrial mayhem its sick
-
My grandma should definitely have these plugins, I'll tell her. Thanks
-
NI loves to release updates as brand-new, paid products lol. Another phenomenal video! I feel ashamed that I don't know the sound from the Doom soundtrack!
-
synths can mimic other synths, Surge XT is a free, open-source, soft synth that one could coax industrial sounds out of as well ( check the skin library for something you can spend hours at ) .... it's the synths your most familiar with that will make the sounds you're looking for. Serum looks like a premium Massive .. some props on the sound quality and CPU efficiency; I am looking into it.

Looks like a native instruments commercial lol, don't get me wrong they are great. Here are some of my choices that get you there fast: u-he repro, Waldorf ppg wave, synth1, arturia ensoniq, kawai k1, vavra, amigo sampler, Waldorf largo, Tal sampler with emu library samples, arturia dx7 with dexed presets, pulse code drum machine, glow reverb, eventide effects, infiltrator, GRM Ina effects, glitch machines tactic, web sampler and for some quality presets for vsts mentioned in this video check out Cage audio.

great video, again, very useful and complete! Ciao!!
-
Some day I will own Serum. Also some day I'll figure out Sytrus and FM synthesis haha
-
Another great video ! Keep going !
-
Frail has to be my favorite simply cuz I don’t get a pop vibe and it has a nice raw feel.
-
I still go back to Pretty Hate Machine more than any other NIN release. It's a classic for me.
-
SERUM and VITAL are king... but most of the industrial bands over the last 5 - 10 years are deep into Native Instruments... you hear a lot of the their sounds over and over in many songs. Producers hear NI as soon as it in a song, similar to hearing compression with NTT, or reverb wit Omnisphere, they create a very specific sound. We need a new version of SERUM, still my favorite and most used synth because it is low overhead and so versatile, but they could use some updates.
-
IMO Phase Plant is a great all-in-one synth. FM, wavetable, granular, sampler. And it's so modular, you can basically have endless* generators, endless outputs, 3 separate FX chains that contain endless FX, endless LFO tables and much, much more. It's almost like a mini DAW. Oh and free lifetime updates. *Not actually endless, but probably your CPU won't handle it.
-
Hey Tonepusher! When using static noise as animated background, the whole picture quality suffers a lot, that's why I stopped using it.
-
Great video once again. There's just an error, the Rez synth from Radio isn't actually from Omnisphere, it is from Trilian, another VST by Spectrasonics used by Flake in Untitled and Zeit, it was used in the amazing Weit Weg lead for example.
-
Never cared for Serum. I use the mystery islands control plugin for the virus, as it does all the heavy lifting with sound generation, and signal processor in my studio. Also the Integra-7 does a lot of work also, but the Roland srx plugins are quickly replacing it. If I had no hardware, I'd prolly go for something like TAL U-NO-LX, Dexed, synth-1, or the Arturia SQ-80 plugin over serum. I know a lot of people enjoy Serum and theres a lot of presets libraries for it. But I'm just not enthused with it.

Vnv Nation also used Reaktor at their debut. For me Rammstein are more associated with Ensoniq Synths than plug-ins. Vanguard was also a lot used in the aggrotech period. According to me the downward spiral is NIN's best album but I also like the more catchy Pretty Hate Machine. I've made a cover from something I Can Never Have some times ago.
