    I think I'll just go for Syntronik MAX, as abacab (zzz00m) is finding out in a discussion on KVR, there is/maybe differences in content between owning the full or MAX version and obtaining all the synths via the G

    From what I understand, the only difference is the resale value. Functionally, you end up with the same thing, whether you get it via a maxed out GB, or via MAX.

    I had everything except bx_subsynth and RX Elements (have RX 7 Elements (Lite). RX Elements can be had at Plugin Boutique for $10. I went that route even though it may be a freebie in the future. Don't care about bx_subsynth.

    BTW RX is at version 9 but RX Elements is based on RX 8, not 9. Not sure of this matters.

    How's the momentum going?  On track for 33 for the price of 1  by the end of the GB?

    By my calculations, we are tracking to hit about 2200 participants by the time 30 days are up. But as we have seen in the past, momentum can pick up as the end approaches, or IKM may extend the group buy so that the requisite 3000 participants is hit. I would be surprised if it didn't make it. I actually only need it to go to 2800 because I already had two freebies.

    I already have Origins Vol 1 thru 5, and the Free Orchestral Chords, but Lyrical Violin Phrases and Hapi are worth more than this price
    and it's a worthy cause.

    I had everything except the Lyrical Violin Phrases but I bought anyway because it is a good cause and becauses the phrases alone are worth $9.90.

    I already had Syntronik 1 Deluxe, plus two free Syntronik 2 instruments, the J-60 and the V-80.

    So first I grabbed all 11 new synths when we reached the buy 1, get 10 free level.

    Then for freebie 11 and 12, used them on the 99 (Yamaha SY99 ) and Blau (PPG Wave 2.3). :)

    I believe the priority for me with any potential upcoming freebies, in case we don't get to 33 is this:

    13. Bully

    14. DCO-X

    15. Galaxy

    16. J-8

    17. Minimod

    18. Noir

    19. OXa

    20. String Box

    Anything else is just redundant or extra stuff I don't need. I already have decent emulations of the ARP 2600, Jup 8, Mini Moog, Memory Moog, Poly Moog, Moog Modular, Matrix 12, Oberheim OB-X.  & Prophet 5. I am going to make an exception here for adding the Syntronik 2 versions of the Matrix 12, Mini, and OB-X, because I will make space for them!

    This actually looks pretty close to what my priorities would be too. Amazing!

    Me too! IK must have a lag in the promotions updates... 😢

    But on the bright side, this gives me a few more minutes to decide which classic synth to upgrade next...

    Me three. Come on IKM, get yo axe together. Just kidding. I am sure it will appear eventually.

    The Syntronik 2 GUI has been reported to IK support by an IK forum moderator. See the IK Syntronik 2 Wishlist.

     

    One wonders what could have caused the change in GUI sharpness. One would hope that some designer didn't think "Let's make everything blurier. That will make everything look nicer."  My first thought was that perhaps S2 has a resizable GUI,  and S1 does not, however S1 is just as resizable. Very strange design decision.

    At the 8:28 mm:ss mark until 30:00 mm:ss, Erik dives in to the details of the Edit page, including wave sets, sub-oscillators, drift, and the mod matrix. Good explanations!

    After watching this, I now have some questions, @Peter - IK Multimedia. There is stuff in the Edit panel that is not WaveSet related like the Modulation Matrix and the filters. Could not the legacy synth presets use those feature since they are not WaveSet dependant?

    We should be honest....that is an insane deal given the quality of the Amek 9099 (and the other options on the list).  But who had the willpower to resit spending the $25 voucher already?  😁

    Not me. Still got my $50 voucher so I could do 3 for $43.

    Syntronik 2 Synths will NOT work in Syntronik 1, and Syntronk 1 Synths will work in Syntronik 2,
    but will not be updated to version 2 samples or functionality, and will not be "editable".  Any Syntronik synths bought
    now are Version 2, and will work as advertised in the Custom Shop.

    To expand on what cclarry said, legacy presets for S1 synths are just as editable in Syntronik 2 as they were in Syntronik 1, ie you can still bring up the instrument interface and tweek parameters. What you cannot do is use the new Edit button which is used to edit the new S2 features. This confused me at first. To confuse things further, upgraded S1 synths have additional S2 presets which can use the new S2 features.
