Exactly!!! 😂

I wonder if this Group Buy is just a trick for us OCD types to get us to the halfway mark, so we will then have to pony up and buy MAX, or the next Total Studio? 🤔

Yay, 16!!!

Su-PEER-ior!!! 🤣

I wonder how it compare to TRK-01 from Native Instruments? That seems to have a fairly comprehensive kick sampler/synth.

Silly rabbit, kicks are for trids...

I'm definitely in for $99. Other than that, I can wait for a deal... 🤪

🤣🤣🤣

Add that one to a very long list of "duh-huhs" or WTF's from IK over the years as to who made "that" decision. Conclusion is that some of their product managers must not use the products themselves... 🙄

I was tempted by CV-1, but I am trying to stick to one modular synth (Voltage Modular), just to avoid additional distractions! I already suffer from too many synths! 🤪 I am a big fan of AAS, and have Chromaphone 3 with all add-ons, and Ultra Analog VA-3 with nearly all add-ons. Great stuff! 👍

Thanks to you for recently sharing that option with me! That feature alone unlocks the huge potential of a 3rd party plug-in collection. Lately I have been experimenting with using my Kilohearts plug-ins (snap-ins) and Snapheap inside the Voltage Modular Mini Plug-in Host. And others... Not all play nicely inside VM, but it's still good fun to see what works!

Probably the best advice. 👍 But Cherry Audio VM isn't so bad on that count either, if you just jump all the way into Voltage Modular Core for $94.96. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/4-Synth/5033-Voltage-Modular-Core-Electro-Drums You won't get bored very fast with 105 modules and 600 presets. But if you do get bored with VM Core, the Year Two Collection is on sale for $100 right now. https://store.cherryaudio.com/bundles/cherry-audio-year-two-collection And if that's not enough to fill your GAS, there is also the Year Three Collection on sale for $99. https://store.cherryaudio.com/bundles/cherry-audio-year-three-collection

39 participants to #15. There have been about 2 new participants average per hour since yesterday afternoon.

Looks interesting. https://jouemusic.us/pages/an-expressive-multi-instrument But It does seem to require an extra $50 Pro option to get software that lets you configure custom MIDI mapping, MPE etc. https://jouemusic.us/pages/joue-play-pro-option So it would cost something like $300 + shipping (or$345 + shipping direct from Joue). I wonder if there is a US distributor in order to avoid paying for international shipping to US from Thomann?

I tried copying a v1 Multi (as an example) into Syntronik 2 and it worked. But since it loaded v1 presets, I was unable to access the Edit page from the instruments in that particular Multi. But as a test, I was able to create and save a v2 Multi of my own from Syntronik 2. Good stuff!

I was on the waiting list for a Morph at a reseller for months. No luck! Still hoping for an affordable MPE controller.

You could probably test your theory by ensuring that your Syntronik 2 library content path is exclusively pointed only to a dedicated Syntronik 2 folder, and no reference is made to the SampleTank 3 path. If everything works as expected, I see no reason that you couldn't just use the delete key on the SampleTank 3 folders that Syntronik 1 is living in. But YMMV. Not responsible if it blows up, LOL!!!

One thing to keep in mind. Syntronik is technically not mutitimbral, unlike some synths such as KORG Triton with its Combis. The four instrument parts are all on the same MIDI channel, so it still lets you layer and split by key ranges to effectively create the sound layers.

Unfortunately the legacy AIR synths haven't seen any new development in years. The 2021 updates were "Performance enhancements for Windows 10". I suspect that was just an installer fix that for a bug that had hosed up Pace iLok on Windows 10. Plugin Boutique pulled the installers for many of the synths until that was fixed.

Syntronik Tutorial Series: Multis (Syntronik 1 version)

Do you have SampleTank 4? Those might be SampleTank multis...

Files with "*.st3m" are Syntronik 1 or SampleTank 3 based multis. They will load in the current products, but are not the latest versions.

Right. It was essentially the same thing with Syntronik 1. Same as it ever was...

We should, because then they will all work. But it's up to IK to make them available to the GB participants. They are not part of the CS package. Peter's on the task already...

That was my first reaction! But after I calmed down and gave it some thought, I realized why it needs to be that way. You see, the factory multis can and do use any synth and preset in the collection. So they are basically useless unless you have all of the synths and presets at your disposal. Otherwise, you are likely to get one of those annoying pop-up errors when you load a multi, such as "synth preset x cannot be found in path x ... blah blah ". So for example anyone using the CS or SE editions would be perplexed by these errors when loading the multis due to the missing factory presets. Edit: after another minute of thought, this occurred to me. That the factory multis would only be fully effective if you have installed ALL of the Syntronik 2 synths.
