That was very nice of someone to buy you a Syntronik 2 synth. Based on the stated rules, the period for making the selections is 30 days from the end of the GB.

RE: Syner-V parts 3 and 4 look like they have been corrected on the server so the content is no longer nested within a folder within a folder within the zip file. 2022-06-06: If you already used the malformed Sound Content installation files, so far as I have seen using the correct ones will install the sound content, but they do not remove the wrongly installed Sound Content.

Long shot possible solution, but worth the time to check. I used to have Cakewalk shutdown crashes when accessing IK gear for which I didn't have a license. Something about IK's "not-owned-yet-wanna-buy" challenge seemed to triggered the crash--consistently. With the updates, perhaps you are getting something similar. From what I have seen sometimes Custom Shop > Restore My Purchases makes gear accessible again. Yes, its a long shot, I know, but maybe it will help. I usually do a VST rescan, too. Good luck.

I don't play guitars, but it is a great story nevertheless!!!!

Thanks for exploring the GS-V issue. Also, Syner-V part 3 has the same issue.

Yeah--this has always bothered me. I can't remember how many times I said, "It does NOT prevent you from getting COVID; it just decreases the odds you will die from it." Of course, I still refer to cooking food in a microwave as nuking it even though I know the food is not being bombarded with nuclear radiation. Or is it? ?

Is the issue with GS-V the same as Syner-V? I know I had issues with both and resolved them by installing the individual parts. But maybe this is a new issue? It came back to me (thanks to pencil and paper notes): Because it was the largest and I was putting all the new synths on an internal SSD, I installed GS-V first using the Product Manager (because some people recommend that over the individual file installation method. From pencil and paper notes: did Prod Manager issues did manual installation of parts Syner-V was the third to be installed, and by that time I gave up trying to use the Product Manager to install the 11 new Synths. Thanks for reporting the issue the GS-V issue to the group here. I just checked all the Funky Wah presets. They work. Conclusion: Different causes (GS-V and Syner-V), but the same solution works for both with one difference: for Syner-V two of the parts required going into a folder within the out folder to do the correct installation.

That was only 11 days ago. I didn't think the forum had a mandatory visiting/posting requirement. I can respect people who can only visit/post once in a while. Not all people who post live here. ?

Actually, its only a problem if you don't want a screen shot of both monitors. There have been times when I wanted both. If it never included both that would be a worse problem than cropping. Just to be clear in case you misinterpreted, does not mean the PrtScr key is problematic to me. It is child's play to crop a two-screen shot. It would require more steps if someone had to take separate screenshots of each monitor and paste them together.

I also use Alt+PrScr and do cropping (and markup) in MS Paint. In fact it is so automatic, I don't even have to think about it. But reassigning the PrtScr key to use the snipping tool sounds quite handy. I rarely need to take a screen shot of both monitors. Thanks for the tips! UPDATE: Way Cool!!!!!!!!!!!! Snip and Ctrl+V into MS Paint for markup!!! Thanks also to @Sridhar Raghavan for asking!!!

PSP Ultimate for $33? That has to be a mistake (discount on top of a discount). If I didn't have it, I would have hit buy before posting this. EDIT: TIP: You can use an instance of VM in Cakewalk (and I assume other DAWS) with some of the modules from the PSP bundle as a modular effects rack, complete with modular (i.e., cabled) controls--if you like what PSP does and wiring stuff together. Correction: Since Cherry Audio has it for $33, it can't be a JRR mistake. JMO: $27.27 is a deal on top of a deal on top of a deal. (See cclarry's post below.)

Yup. I don't think the problems are the result of anything nefarious or malicious. When I first starting looking at their products, I thought "Musicians First" meant the interests and needs were a top priority. However, I have decided that its more like their skill sets are more as musicians. Not saying musicians can't or don't have other skills. But from what I have seen, I think that musicians tend to have a dedication to music. That might help explain why many of us like what we can do with the products musically, but have issues with some of the non-musical aspects of what they do. Well, at least for me, that kind of thinking helps me not get so annoyed.

Yes, TY. I now have some multis that crash Syntronik 2 even though everything is installed. I suspect that some of the duplicate installations got put into a different place than the previous installations. So its a matter of rearranging my Library Folders/ Sound Contents. It might be easier to just re-install everything instead of trying to move stuff to where it should be. Previously I only had the 11 new synths on my SSD drive, with the older synths on an external HDD. One of the nice things about using Notepad to view the multis, is that InstrumentPath stays in the search buffer.

Thanks, abacab. I was just about to go though my promos and put duplicates/triplicates in to fill up all the slots to see if that would work. I think I saw this earlier but didn't realize Peter was saying we need to choose all 32 promotions before the Multis would be added to My Products. PHEW!!!!! That's a lot of clicking and scrolling and rolling!!!!!! But it did indeed add the SYN2_MAX_Multis my User Area. Thanks for all the tips.

Thanks for the images, Brian. I looked all around the My Products Page several more times in all sorts of places where it might have been hidden. Thanks for the suggestion, Jacques. Product Manager is now up to File 18 of 77, so I might as well let it finish. That way if they suggest using Product Manager, I will have already tried it.

Apology accepted. Thank you.

No. That's what I am trying to find. The set of 30 that came with Syntronik 2 Full are in a zip file. I have looked everywhere I can think of for a different zip file that has the full set. Any ideas where they might be? By any chance did they put it in with Syntronik 2 CS? I cannot find them in SE or Full and CS has expired. I am trying to reinstall Syntronik 2 from the Product Manager now. Maybe that will give me the full set of Multis. DONE. Now trying to reinstall all the Syntronik Sounds (that haven't expired yet) using the Product Manager. After that is done (in several hours days) I will find out if it was a mistake to start with CS, then get SE, then Full, and then get into the SYN2GB. ?

Where are people finding the full set of multis? All I can find is the set of 30 that came with Syntronik 2 Full. I hope I don't have to de-authorize CS, SE, and Full, remove all the content, and start all over installing all 33 Instruments one-by-one using the Product Manager. That would also require deleting tons of Syntronik files from my PC and still risk not getting the multis. ?

Re: Butt Kills sign. Yeah. I had a hard time trying to decide if it was a sexual preference slur or not.

Not sure its unethical or a "Bait and Switch" tactic. Not sure they don't care. I tend to think its one of several communication issues. I agree its the best Syntronik 2 deal to date!

This is a known problem. From what I have seen it predates the SYN2GB. I can't remember when I first encountered it. Its a trivial fix: Just download the other one and delete the one that for the other computer if you don't need it.

Yup. As I said wrt my Syntronik 2 Full multis: they had instruments/presets that weren't part of the full version (in other words, they were from the MAX version) and they caused Syntronik 2 to crash. EDIT: That was May 9th. I am sure I had a later post where On May 25th I said that once I installed the 11 new Instruments, I didn't have the crashes. (See below.) I used Notepad with the files to search for InstrumentPath before I got the new ones.

I looked at one or two and from what I saw, they have replacement (maybe supplemental?) sound content files. They are not very big. The largest one I have is for 99 (66,099 KB). Most are smaller than 15,000 KB). The install time for the update files is way quicker than the GB [Great Big!] Sound Content Installation. Just an FYI.
