Peter - IK Multimedia 2,434 Posted May 20 You shouldn't have to wait. The Syner-V installation in IK Product Manager was fixed shortly after issues were reported. IK Support can iron out anything beyond that. I don't know of other issues with the synths, they should be like they are for many a quick few clicks inside IK Product Manager and done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to tell you this but well after I solved the problem on my PC and after I reported the problem to Support, I downloaded the the files again. They were still malformed. I did get a reply with a little video showing me how to fix it--one of two methods I already knew worked. Maybe they fixed it after I reported it? Is that what you mean by it "was fixed shortly after the issues were reported?" Edited May 20 by User 905133 grammatical correction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least as of last night, Syner V downloads from Product Manager were still not installing correctly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until this is resolved, I am stuck on Syntronik 2.01 and Sampletank 4.16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just finished installing Syner-V using the Product Manager, and some of the content was created in the wrong directory. I fixed the problem using the procedure described in this post by @Dave Schreier . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
User 905133 1,157 Posted May 21 Speculation: Is it possible that a number of problems including this installation issue have been known for a while and phase 1 of the solution is the amazing GB: $35 ($50 minus $15 in Jam Points) for up to 33 SYN2 Instruments, including 11 new Generation 2 Instruments? Or, maybe its a reward for being Beta Testers and once all the problems are fixed the price will go up? I don't know. I am still trying to understand IK's MO. In either case, I am glad I picked up the 11 new instruments--even with the problems. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps because I’m a little older than some of you guys (and somewhat crankier😆), it’s becoming a bit wearing on me. Yes, their products are very good, and yes their deals are very good…..but I’d definitely prefer to spend more time with the music and less with the downloads, trying to figure out how to fix the downloads, re-downloading…..

MusicMan 653 Posted May 22 I already bought Syntronik Deluxe previously, but decided to jump in on the group buy to pick up the 11 new instruments and add some support 🙂 For approximately $34 with jampoints, that's a pretty crazy price to get a whole heap, or maybe all of the Syntronik 2 synths! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TicoJPunk 32 Posted May 22 (edited) I bought into this because for $35, even if I ended up not liking it very much, no big deal. I was looking at Arturia's Collection 9, but I can't stomach the cost. But after demoing some of the Arturia stuff and now playing with Syntronik 2, I'm glad I went with Syntronik. It's just a really well thought out all-in-one synth engine. Sounds are great, variation seemingly limitless. And IK always makes plugins that are easy on the eyes. Controls are nice and big and I can see everything without reading glasses. Not an issue for everyone, but for me it makes a make or break difference. I've used a bunch of T-Racks for years that I continue to really like a lot. In any case, this GB has really taken off. I've only redeemed half of my "free" synths, and I'm already overwhelmed with options (not in a bad way). Anyone have any favorite synths they'd like to mention?

I think it's going to bother me more to finish with only a few models short than it would be if it ended with about 15-20. SOOO close to getting the whole thing. Right now I've got 5 more unredeemed. I've got 7 more synths I've marked as ones I want, the others as a non-priority. But the more I use the ones I have and the more I'm finding I like them, I'm definitely now wanting them all. I'm having a hard time imagining there's a rush in the last couple days. The deal is ALREADY such a good one. Any hold-outs have already bought in probably. It was 885 to go Friday afternoon. We've gone 70 in 48 hours. So MAYBE we'll get another 300 by the end if we're lucky?! Edited May 22 by TicoJPunk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is fine. The only goal would be to collect them all. But if I'm being honest, there is absolutely a ton of redundancy in owning all of them. I've got 20 of them downloaded and installed already, and I can't imagine in a million years what kind of sounds I DON'T already have. A lot of them do very similar things with slight tonal variations. It's just hard to sort out which NOT to get. I've leaned into the newer ones first, and models that I know are in songs I like. After that it's just eeny meeny miney mo. Edited May 22 by TicoJPunk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann 671 Posted May 22 I haven't seen the stats for this GB but, from what I remember, typical budget reset dates (e.g. 1st or 15th of the month) have some correlation to purchases ramping up If that's the case, maybe a last-minute extension of 1 or 2 days (for those people with their May budgets maxed out), to be announced on the last day, would help for this GB to reach it's target. Hopefully this is already in @Peter - IK Multimedia's mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
