Hi Icaro,
My primary synth at the moment is a Korg Kronos 2 61 key workstation.
I wouldn't necessarily call it my go to synth, as I've learnt over the years that to record music with a complex and / or varied sonic character, you need to have a variety of physical synths comprising the sonic makeup of the music you're creating.
This is why I would recommend not exclusively going down the soft-synth route to making music ( software synths are just programs in your computer that replicate the functions of a synth ) If you only use soft-synths, then ultimately, they're all going to sound the same, as they're all outputted through your computers sound-card!
In my studio, I have digital and analogue synths by a variety of manufacturers, therefore offering a varied selection of sonic characteristics.
The Kronos is a beast! It has 9 different synths engines and a 16 track multi-track recorder built-in!
Let me know if you need any more advice.
Cheers.
Jim
