Default I was wondering how to get this synth sound

Recently I've been trying use ReaSynth more often but I can never get a real good sound out of it. I was curious if there was a way to get this type of sound from either ReaSynth or some cheap/free VST plugin. Thanks for your help.

The synth at 2:09 in this song is what I'm looking to emulate:

Synth1 could probably do that. Sounds like maybe a sine wave on Osc1 mixed with something else, maybe a square wave, on Osc2.

+1 for Synth 1. It doesn't sound like a complicated patch. There are hundreds of free synths that could make that sound, and have more features than ReaSynth. Some of the ones I find easiest to program are LinPlug Alpha (discontinued I think but you can still find it out there), PG8X, or Minimiogue. $0.02

Thanks guys, I'm having trouble finding Synth1, it looks like the website to download it is down. I'll update if I can find a link

EDIT: VST4Free still has it

You can make any synth sound pretty good if you put enough distortion on it. And it will make good synths better. It brings things to life. Try to use a good tube distortion like the kush 458.

A simple sine wave organ type sound.
Use one of the U-HE freebies or Synth 1 or Charlatan or an organ simulator or similar. Really ReaSynth is best considered as a test tool for when you don't have any plugins installed yet.

You could make a similar sound to that in Reasynth with some effort, but why bother.
