Of course, Syntronik’s 17 instruments aren’t full emulations of the original synths they represent. And with all four - as well as a 1/2/4/8-stage phaser, a formant filter and the ‘classic’ SampleTank filter - available to every instrument, you can shove, say, a multisampled Moog Taurus oscillator through a modelled Roland filter, or bolt the Oberheim SVF onto the Alesis Andromeda. Sounding phenomenal and supremely responsive, they’re without doubt among the best software filters we’ve ever heard. The Moog and Oberheim models feature high-pass, band-pass, low-pass and notch types (12dB/octave for the Oberheim, various slopes for the Moog), while the other two are 12/24dB low-pass only.
We appreciate being able to pick and choose in order to save disk space, but not having the option to simply get all the instruments in a single installer, then check off the ones you want, is ridiculous.Īlso central to Syntronik’s sonic promise is the filter block, which houses circuit-modelled emulations of the Moog ladder, Oberheim state variable, Curtis CEM3320 and Roland IR3109 resonant filters.
#Ik multimedia syntronik 1.2 for mac install
Rather than distribute the sound library as a single multi-part download, IK have chosen to break it down into individual instrument installers, some of them multi-part, forcing you to nurse your way through 23 downloads, then install each one individually. Should you opt to buy the whole thing outright, be warned that a hellish installation procedure awaits. The second is to install Syntronik Free, giving you a flavour of the full package with 50 presets utilising all 17 instruments, then add full individual instruments for £50 each via the in-app store.Īlternatively, if you have SampleTank 3 installed, you can buy Syntronik’s instruments in the ST3 store, integrating them with your SampleTank library as well as Syntronik itself. The first way is to buy the full Syntronik for £300. There are three ways to get involved with Syntronik, and choosing between them will come down to your budget, how immediately sold you are on the whole concept, and whether or not you’re already using SampleTank 3.
