Ugh this is hard.
Cubasis 3: DAW with a sampler, audio channels, routing, AU automation, Micrologue isn’t half bad, and plenty of IAP FX
Lagrange: Very flexible synth, my favorite for melodic stuff
ReelBus: My favorite FX plugin
Barricade: Great tool for mixing
Grand Finale: Finishing touches to give my songs that extra boost
Can change any moment but for now:
NanoStudio 2
Model D
Zeeon
Drambo
Animoog

With those 3 apps alone you already have: 3 audio recorders, 2 midi sequencers, 3 samplers, 2 synths (with dozens of synthesis methods), 2 drum synths, 2 multiFX processors, 2 midi automation devices, AU instances of everything, and a mixed bag of countless other tricks including mastering tools. Still got 2 more 'non-essential' apps on the list..
edit: crap, I forgot miRack. I think miRack would take the 5th spot. Now that it's AU it has far more utility than Samplr and Borderlands. But thankfully, this is all just an exercise :P
Haha, do remember though everyone that the OP mentioned minimalism, so choosing the 5 apps that can do everything is kind of not really in the spirit of the thing. Creative freedom through imposing limitations is the idea.
Still, even choosing 5 all powerful apps is probably better than the constant merry-go-round of new app chasing and never properly learning anything that many of us get stuck in.
I’d rather think of five ways to punch myself in the face.
It would be too hard. I’m not even sure I could choose only 50. LOL
And now I'm going to sit and have a coffee and fantasise over what Kai's new app is lol. I've been beta-ing Classic FX, if we are allowed to pick future releases, I'd be very tempted to throw that in too!

Remember to post the reasoning for your choices guys! Why did you choose 4 synths and 1 reverb? Could it be because you have a room full of drumachines?
1.Gadget (I have every kind of synth sound needed to sample)
2. BM3 (What I sample into, MPC style drumming, live scene sequencing)
3. Drambo (I can make almost any synth / fx)
4. Zeeon (Because it's my bread & butter synth)
5. AUDIOBUS 3 (Because this is the AB website and ya'll cotdamn disrespectful for not adding this to your lists LOL)
Can Drambo be a granular synth to?
It can not. There's a project on patchstorage that can simulate 4 'grains'. And I believe I've heard that Giku plans on a granular module eventually.
Guess it can't do quite everything. Doesn't have a wavetable mode either.
Was going to put Notion as number 5 but realised I had no way to record.
I was tempted to add Nous VX to my list as well but I haven’t even started to play with it yet...
Drambo - mostly as my main sampler and workstation now.
AUM - best host and routing for my needs.
Moog Model 15 - miRack kills it in terms of functionality, but it sounds so amazing.
Poison-202 - all around Techno swiss army knife. And again, just sounds so good.
Auditor - this paired with Drambo solves 90% of my sampling needs.
Lots of honorable mentions and possible swaps as far as synths go. If Nave was AUv3 it would definitely knock somebody off the list. Pretty addicted to Aparillo too. Also, I’m doing all my sequencing externally with a Cirklon via AUM. So I don’t even use Drambo’s sequencer for the most part (unless Im just chillin on the couch).
Effects and processing is a whole different discussion. Gotta have my Eventide’s man!
Great question!

The 5th to glue it all together = Audiobus

Just tell me I don’t have to do this!
I’ll to separate this in two categories:
As a guitar player:
-Nembrini mrh810
-Amplitube
-gen labs
-iconvolver
-adverb2
As a composer:
Multitrack daw
-ifretless bass
-synth master one
-many others😉😉.

I cannot choose. I get frustrated when I start to think of choosing
But ok, if you're putting against the wall and making me pick:
This is cheating
man i keep lingering over the zmors modular buy now button lol, haven’t really heard much demos of it but looks cool
AUM
Xequence 2
Beathawk (with all iap's)
Noise (with all iap's)
Synclavier Go
For me it's really user friendly... And I think I got carried away by some videos back then. Probably those dev jams involving the devs from zMors, Elastic Drums, Triq Traq, modstep, etc

Nanostudio 2
AUM
Pro-Q3
Samplr
NanoStudio2
miRack
Quanta
ProQ 2
TB Reverb
This is mostly because I would want to force myself to learn miRack, and once its AU functionality is out of beta NS2 will get that much richer. Quanta is a pretty versatile synth, with basic built in oscillators and fun granular options. Good EQ and good reverb are indispensable (I know ProQ 3 is better, but I'm going with what I own).
Once miRack has AU abilities, I'd probably swap out Quanta for AUM.
