    Ikmultimedia Syntronik 2

    Yes, you have to remove them by hand and rebuild the database.  Which is kind of hard if you have Sampletank 3 instruments/sounds also.  I don't think IK has even given a thought to managing the mess their instrument collections have become (Sampletron 2 and Syntronik 2 both seem to have their own private content directories)  Older Sampletank 4 instruments are merged into its directories (or Sampletank 3's).  The IK Product Manager download leaves the zip files it downloads for Syntronik MAX on your system as well (for me it was in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\IK Multimedia\IK Product Manager\Syntronik 2 MAX) and consumes some 184gigs of disk space itself.  Of course that's good since they charge you to redownload after 180 days.  But losing 184gigs of disc space for some zip installers is a bit much.   I'll be backing mine up on to BD-Rs most likely.

    I wouldn't remove Syntronik 1 though,  since it may(will?) break old projects unless you just happened to use Sampletank 4 instead of the Syntronik 1 VST/Engine for projects.  And even then I'm not sure it will work without the old Syntronik 1 instruments/samples.

    So yes, it's a bit of a mess.

    An understatement.  I get it now. I just download the ones that say Synth 2.  These are much smaller. I have the other stuff archived.  These are more like presets than sounds.

    It doesn't touch your old Syntronik 1 sounds.  Which are in Sampletank 3 format.  It (well the MAX version) is a whole new directory/install.  It appears to contain copies of many of the same sounds from Syntronik 1 plus the new Syntronik 2 stuff.  But it didn't do anything to my Syntronik 1 sounds (which are in my Sampletank Sounds 3 directory).  I guess you could uninstall Syntronik 1 to get back some space.  Maybe.  The only thing it did do was break the authorization.  Had to de-auth and re-auth Syntronik 1 and 2 both to get it to be happy.

    That only deletes the app and not the sounds.

     So let me get this right....

    I have to download all of these sounds for Syntronic 2?

    Does it overwrite Syntronic 1 sounds?

    If not how do I delete Syntronic 1 sounds?   I don't want another 65gb of disk space increase.

    I keep looking at Bitwig as a secondary DAW.   I'm %100 on Cubase now, but keep thinking I should get something different to mix things up a bit.   I've looked at Studio One, but it is very similar to Cubase.   I'm currently looking at FL Studio and Bitwig - both are substantially different than Cubase.

    FL all the way.  Lifetime license and not a sub wannabee.  You can slap in on every machine in the house.

    Instead of adding 4 SATA ports, consider adding 4 nvme slots if your motherboard supports PCIe multiplex (a BIOS setting that converts one physical PCIe x16 slot into 4 logical  PCIe x4 devices).

    Seems like too much of a rocket science to me.

    I am a former brass player, but have family members that are excellent woodwind players. I have always been fascinated by the development of MIDI wind controllers.

    The woodwinds always intimidated me due to the multiple keys. I thought that 3 valves was enough, LOL! 🤣

    Woodwinds are easier since they are laid out diatonically where brass uses a harmoic series.

    Just got their EWI Solo. 
    Nice little instrument. 

     

    Tempting.  As a wind player I feel it's almost sacrilegious.  To me it's like buying White Castle hamburgers in the frozen food section. I could see this for using as an oboe. At least your lungs would not feel like they are going to explode.

    This is the ONLY place I buy VSL.  You get a better discount using your VDL account email.  I can get Smart Orchestra for under $70.  The only drawback is I want this for the 3rd system and would prefer to have another dongle instead of swapping.  I'd have to wait for their new licensing system.

    If you have a free PCie slot open, you can buy an inexpensive card with many SATA slots. It doesn't have to be that fast a PCIe card. (In other words, not so long, with a lot of lanes)   

    I bought one with 4. I've used two, so I'm kicking myself because I should have gotten one with 6 or 8 ports. 

    What cards do you have?   I'm thinking of going this route.  The only thing is mounting  the SSDs.   I might have to use duct tape.

    You can get it at checkout too. There is a popup that offers it. Not sure about tomorrow.

    It's better. You get $5 off. That pushed me over the edge to get Dronar Woodwinds.

     I have all of my SATA ports used up. Each System has about 3 2TB HDDs.  I'm thinking of removing a lot of stuff rarely used and switching those drives to 1TB SSDs.  I probably don't ever use 75% that comes in Komplete Ultimate.  I've finally got my collection of loops down to under 400gb.  Sampletank eats a lot of space.
