Stay friendly people! We don't want this very useful thread closing! 

After installing the multis they all seem to be dated 2017! Are these the new ones - seems unlikely. Perhaps the new ones have been extracted elsewhere on the PC by the Product Manager but I can't imagine where!

Mine didn't appear immediately on opening the page but I refreshed  and there it was!

Thanks - yes I'd noticed they were smaller - I am wondering if they will get installed automatically whilst I'm downloading the instruments - which is proving to be exceptionally slow process especially as one decided to pause itself whilst I was away from the PC!

After we have downloaded the synths do we have to download the Sounds Updater files? It's a slow process for me so far at 1.1Mb / s!

Yes I kept losing track of where I was in the list but got there ok in the end!

I've got a few queued up for tonight 🙂 

Doesn't help that my wifi is only giving me 10Mps from the 96 I'm getting coming into the house! Must upgrade this BT Smart Hub 2 sometime! Too much congestion and can't choose 5Ghz channel it just randomly allocates channels to devices on a whim!

Yup, that's the way, unfortunately. And since others have mentioned it, it's not just you and me!

It's going to be a long 180 days 😉

Since I had previously installed the Syn2  CS version with the limited v2 demo presets, I had to "reinstall" all of the individual v2 synths from IKPM to get the full preset package, as Syn2 CS had marked all of the new synths as already installed in IKPM (but only with the handful of demo presets).

Ah thanks - of course that is why they are all saying installed! I was confused! So 'Reinstall Library is the thing to do? 

It doesn't help that not all of the Syntronik 2 sounds are labelled as Syntronik 2!

Thanks - Do I have to add and download replacements to my old synths to get the new Syntronik 2 presets? - I think I read earlier that I would not need to re download these

Edit - I've bitten the bullet and bought!

Tallied up and I'd get 15 new synths so still a very good deal! The promised multis are a sweetener too. 

Thanks - I have Syntronik 2CS and also Syntronik 1 (which I got through a Total Studio 2 Max deal)  but haven't used them that much (mainly due to lack of time!) - just counting up how many synths I already have from Syntronik 1 (20) and just about to compare that with the ones in the group buy to see what I would gain.

Funny thought... 🤨

Anyone joining the GB now will KNOW that they get everything for one purchase. With 2 days left, that's like stealing candy!!! 🤣

I may be guilty as charged - still dithering though! 

I got a hissing sound when using the Tone Net Brian May presets - doesn't happen on others Amplitude presets.

It should have been Auto Magic, but it is IK after all...so....

Don't bite the hand that feeds you 😉

Thanks - so I do not have to reinstall the ones I already have - the Syntronik 2 samples are the same as Syntronik 1? - so basically what I would be getting would just be the new synths that are not in Syntronik 1? Plus the multis if it goes all the way

My Mac's internal SSD is only 250GB, but I use a 1TB Samsung USB-C audio drive with plenty of free space so I put all my sample libraries on that external drive.

I have a 2TB external Samsung SSD but it is already more than half full. I am also thinking about system back up space - though I am thinking of adding another removable drive to the 4Tb one I have already

Many thanks Doug - most helpful!

Jam Points will help seal the deal but just remembered I will have to pay 20% VAT which makes it less of a steal 

I'm increasingly tempted - I have Syntronik 1 which I picked up through TS Max 2 and Syntronik 2 CS. What are the benefits of getting the Group Buy - other than the extra synths over Syntronik 1 - I'm concerned about all the extra disk space required! Wil I be able to uninstall the Syntronik 1 synths once I have all the Syntronik 2 ones? I'm a hobbyist who only has a small amount of time to spend making music so want to know that my money is well spent 🙂

Early Access available now!

Even Godot didn't take this long......

Well you'll have to 😉

Yep I have the not installed issue too even though they are!

I keep picking them up but will have to wait until I get a new PC in a year or so to play most of them as my GPU is ten years old now and below the spec of most games. Having said that I still haven't played most of the games I can play on this PC!
