Lifted from SampleTank (and thus originally T-RackS and Amplitube), you can load up to five of them at once into every layer. Beyond that, though, the sound can be utterly transformed using Syntronik’s 38 gorgeous ‘lunchbox’-style effects. Unavoidably (given their sample-based nature) inflexible oscillators aside, the homogenous interface enables enough programmability to get the job done.

Modulation is provided by AHDSR envelopes for the amp and filter, and an LFO for wobbling of pitch, pan and/or cutoff and the Controllers section gives access to pitchbend range, mod wheel vibrato rate, play mode (Mono, Poly or Legato) and legato glide time. The Filter section houses the filter model selection switches, along with knobs/sliders for cutoff, resonance, overdrive and velocity response. The control set starts with tuning of the main oscillator, and activation and detuning of a second oscillator by up to 50 cents up or down. Every one of them has its own singular visual identity, but the actual interface comprises the same array of controls across the board, be they presented as knobs or sliders.

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.

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. Up to four presets can be layered in an admirably straightforward editor for stacks and splits (by note and velocity), but mixing is done in a single contextual panel rather than a unified mixer page. The presets are housed in an intuitive tagged browser and cover all the usual bases - leads, pads, strings, er… basses, percussion, FX, plucks, keys and so on - and with the ROMs including multiple round robins and oscillator combinations, the whole soundbank weighs in at an impressive 58GB.

Ten of the instruments group multiple synths - Pro-V, based on the two Prophets, for example, and String Box, taking in the Solina String Ensemble, Elka Rhapsody 490, Hohner String Performer and a couple of Rolands - while the other seven are dedicated to just one each, such as T-03 covering the TB-303, and Harpy 260, which we’ll leave you to figure out. The rendered hardware includes a comprehensive range of models by Moog (Mini, Modular, Voyager, Prodigy, Rogue, Taurus et al), ARP (2600, String Ensemble) Roland (TB-303, Juno-60, Jupiters, JXs et al), Yamaha (CS-80, SY99 et al), Sequential Circuits (Prophet-5 and -10), Oberheim (OB-X, OB-Xa, SEM), PPG Wave 2, Alesis Andromeda and others.
