That way I might at least isolate the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rintoul Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Do you have SYN2_Syner-V_Part_4.zip? It should be in your IKM Product Manager download folder. You can just double click on the zip file to see the contents. We can take this discussion offline too via DM so we do not fill up this topic with support help.

It looks like malformed Syner V *.zip files (Sound Contents) caused the "Instrument ST4 Error." Dave's solution is to move them to the right place.

Tim Smith Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I have Syntronic 2 and didn't know it. Goes to show how much I use this lol.

The way I have installed all of these is by downloading the zip files of the sound files manually, extract the files and run the exe files from the extracted files' destination folder. This works every time. No error messages when loading patches (in SYN2 or ST4) I trust the IK Product Manager to do the actual activation, but not the installation. If that doesn't work, you can try your luck with IK support:https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/sw/ 6 hours ago, LAGinz said: Thx. Have tried this though I have meet this bug too Even when you run the "Install Syntronik 2 Sound Content.exe" files from the extracted zip you can have trouble with installs, the exe files may be buggy For definitively solve this you can manually copy the contain of the "Syntronik 2 Sound Content" folder in your Syntronik path library Do this with all Syner V zip files and all should work fine Edited May 20, 2022 by oqpoil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a huge bug with the filter section and/or filter envelope of Syntronik 2, with some V1 presets but also V2 presets on some of the 22 "classic synths" while everything is fine and the sound is different for the same presets played with Syntronic 1. ex: Take the "Boomy square" preset of the SH-V: -Try to modify the filter envelope, cut off, resonance...=> no effect, no filter ? and the sound is so different from the same preset played with Syntronic 1 (it is more obvious in the low notes C0,C1...) -Try all the possibilities (lpf,bpf...) of the 7 filters, slope/slope and modify the filter envelope, cut off, resonance => sometimes it's the cut off, sometimes the resonance, sometimes both that have no effect, sometimes you just can't choose the slope (the slider stays locked) while it's available in Syntronik 1 -Try to save a project with the "Boomy square" preset of the SH-V (without modifying it), close and reload your project, go to Syntronik 2, already there is an asterisk on the name of the preset, which means that it has been modified, go to the editing panel (the front of the synth) and there from bpf it has changed to lpf? I have seen the same type of problem on SH-V, SAM, Noir, T-03...so far. It always has something to do with the filter section, the envelope I've only seen it once. So, advice to those who had version 1 don't uninstall it!!! While waiting for it to correct And those who have only version 2 of Syntronik test the filter and report to IK support because only for the SAM, the presets Syntronik 1> synth bass: Fat Resonant Bass, Feeder, Fingered Bass, Flanged Round Bass = BUG of the filter (I did not test the others) Don't hesitate to make tons of noise when you contact the support ? THE FILTER SECTION IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! I have tested many things: -install shv-v1 and shv-v2 on the same directory and define only one path directory in Syntronik 2 => no change -install only the synth sound and not the Syntronik 2 CS "Sound content" => no change -re-download the sounds => no change -i have tested with sampletank 4 => same bug The bug occur with Syntronik 2 presets too "Shinjuku Wobble Pad 3" from shv if you choose r-type filter you can't choose between 12 or 24 slopes because the slider stay locked on the 12 slope. This bug have been confirmed by two other customers in IKM forum https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=30034 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! I thought I had it fixed,** but I didn't check all of the Syner-V presets until today and still had the "Instrument ST4 error . . . ." I found the misplaced Sound Content folder in the wrong spot. I looked at the downloaded zip files for Syner-V and sure enough Parts 3 and 4 are malformed. The Sound Content is buried within a second Sound Content folder. This explains why the correct solution is to move them up to the correct Samples folder (the folder that has the other Syner-V parts correctly installed ). PS: I reported this to support. So, when product manager handles the malformed zip files, the second Sound Content folder gets placed into the Samples folder and the Syner-V folder with the sample files themselves doesn't get put into right spot (until we follow Dave's fix). **CORRECTION AND UPDATE [2022-06-01]: Previously I fixed the GS-V issue. So when the Syner-V issue came up, I was actually remembering the GS-V issue/solution. I just downloaded the Syner-V files again. They are still malformed. According to information on the internet, there may also be issues with other Syner-V files.

Tim Smith Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I might hold off some until they get this sorted at the install level. Last evening I went through my Syntronik 2 preset sounds and they seemed rather sparse or maybe it is the CS version. I will need to check this.. Possibly some of those installed into a different location as well. I had similar issues with Philharmonic 2 involving missing file locations when I didn't make any changes to anything. If I access Syntronik 2 sounds from inside of ST4 they all show up as independent in my instruments list. If I launch Syntronik 2 as a plugin independently in a DAW then I see the navigation panel. I am guessing this is how it should be. I was really hoping I could just buy the product and install it without a lot of hassle. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
