Grem Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) What if you don't have Syntronic 2? Is Syntronic 1 still going to work? Edited November 30, 2021 by Grem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Pretty good. Will this lead to pop up ads? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, yes, it will continue to work but there won't be any updates. My main audio PC can only handle Syntronik 1. I suspect that 2 won't work on it because my current audio PC can't handle OpenGL2 which is also a requirement for ST4 and others. I am working on setting up another PC that can handle OpenGL2 and will try installing Syntronik 2 CS which is free according to this: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/syntronik2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what? What video adapter are you running? OpenGL 2 was released in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) OK, now I see what's going on. I can use Syntronik 2 CS just like I used Syntronik 1. Seems to me to be almost the same UI as far as I can tell. IOW, a lot like ST4. How ever, when I look at the locations that Syntronik 2 CS has for it's libs, it is showing a C\: location. I don't remember if the installer asked me where to put it's files or not. Wondering if everytime I install a Syntronik 2 lib, will it install on my C drive? Can I move it? I don't see a way. I mean I can move them in Explorer, but the sample folder in Syntronik 2 just says Samples. So I am wondering if it's dependent on that folder structure. Might drag the folder over to my sample drive, rename it and see what happens!! Edited November 30, 2021 by Grem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Let me try and be clearer. I already have Syntronik. No plans at the moment to get Syntronik 2. I installed Syntronik 2 CS because it's a freebie and wanted to try it and see what it's about. I was worried that my Syntronik stuff wouldn't work anymore. (Until I re-read Larry's post) So now that I installed Syntronik 2 CS, I started it up and to me it appears to look just like Syntronik, with the ST4 UI. IOW, nothing really new to me. If there is, I ain't seeing it. Syntronik 2 CS installed it's sample lib on my C drive. I don't want that for future installations. Right now it's only 3 -4 gb. But I want to try and move that before it installs anymore libs there. : ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest moving the root library folder to keep everything together; I've never had an issue doing it that way. I believe after that Syntronik 2 will install to the new location but I'm not 100% sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I have yet to try Syntronic 2. Quote Syntronik 1 will receive no further updates. Oh well, good thing I got rid of Syntronic 1. It was taking up too much space, and quite frankly, I don't really like the sounds of it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Someone correct me if I am wrong) The edit page adds a lot of functionality like a modulation matrix and the ability to change waveform in a patch. All my Syntronic 2 Max content was installed to my E: drive where all my other IK sample content lives.
