I have Syntronik 2 installed, along with every one of the synths.  I never installed Syntronik CS.  Should I?  Is there anything extra going on with that?

Is Syntronik 2 working? Do you have all 33 Instruments and all the Generation 1 (SYN) and Generation 2 (SYN2) presets installed and working?  If so, based on what I have seen CS [a super lite version] will not add anything you don't already have.

The CS version of Syntronik 2 has a very small number of presets with a minuscule number of wave sets.

I’m thinking I’ll just download everything from My Products to be sure I have all the sounds within the 180-days timeframe and not bother with Product Manager (yet).

After we have downloaded the synths do we have to download the Sounds Updater files? 

I looked at one or two and from what I saw, they have replacement (maybe supplemental?) sound content files.  They are not very big. The largest one I have is for 99 (66,099 KB).  Most are smaller than 15,000 KB).  The install time for the update files is way quicker than the GB [Great Big!] Sound Content Installation.  Just an FYI.

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!

Thanks.  Yes, everything appears to be in place and working as it should be, so I'll continue to not bother with CS.

Great news! I am not seeing it in my account yet. I haven't downloaded any of the synths yet, so that might explain it. Is it under Syntronik 2 CS - Download ressources?

Nope. "Syntronik 2 Multis" is in "My Products" list at the top. Most recent entry.

 

[abacab 7,361]

FYI: Just noticed that any multi that tries to load a synth that isn't installed yet will cause an instant crash of the standalone, or the plugin will crash your DAW.

I looked inside one of the crashing multi files using Notepad++ (they are XML, so human readable), and yup, there are two out of three synths that I don't have installed. The Harpy and the Memory V.

Not there for me, I'll contact support if it doesn't appear in the next few days.

I had to go to the website and bring up My Products to see this message. It was not in Product manager.

Just now, Doug Rintoul said:

It was not in Product manager.

Correct. It's only on the website.

That is where I looked.  @abacab's screen shot hinted at the web page, but it is not showing up for me.

Maybe the rollout is taking some time to get to everybody. Just check back later and contact support if nothing shows up.

You have to choose your free product from the last tier option, to receive the Multis.

[JoeGBradford 886]

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

[makouto 17]

Same for me, thanks guys !

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that option too. OTOH, may be creating still more work for me if I’m gonna eventually use Product Manager to install—since Product Manager leaves behind all the zip files.

You can archive them instead of paying a download fee.

OK, I confirmed this by installing my two missing instruments. The multi loads fine now!

Of course, I wish that Syntronik 2 threw an error regarding missing instruments instead of just crashing.
