Other ‘families’ of the hardware synths sampled form the rest of the Syntronik groupings.Īside from the 60GB download (although you can pay a little extra for a USB drive version if you prefer), installation and authorisation of Syntronik is painless. So, for example, Syntronik’s Minimod instrument (shown above) contains sounds based upon the Modular Moog, Minimoog Model D and Moog Voyager. The presets sounds, while derived from over 30 original hardware instruments, are organised into 17 instrument groups within Syntronik.
#SONIK SYNTH IPAD FULL#
In the full version, velocity-based multi-sampling and round-robin samples contribute to the 70,000 individual samples. An in-app store then allows you to purchase more sounds if you decide to go further. There is, however, also a ‘free’ version with a few presets so you can try before you buy. You can plump for the full package and this offers over 1200 preset sounds built from some 60GB of sample data. The sample-base for Syntronik’s ‘hybrid’ sound engine is substantial. This modelling includes IKM’s own DRIFT technology, which attempts to reproduce the underlying sonic variability of old-school analogue synth hardware. In essence, sampling has been used to capture the sound of the oscillator section of each of the 30-plus hardware synths represented, while the second half of the sonic equation - the filters, LFOs and effects - are modelled in software. IKM describe Syntronik as a ‘hybrid’ instrument. So, if you are looking to add the sound of some classic analogue synths to your sonic arsenal, and like the idea of a one-stop-shop for all your virtual analogue synth needs, is Syntronik a suitable candidate? Hybrid Vigour IK Multimedia’s latest offering to this already well-populated market place is Syntronik, and while at one level it is simply another ‘virtual analogue synth’ instrument, it does offer some distinctive elements.
#SONIK SYNTH IPAD SOFTWARE#
With classic analogue synth hardware being highly sought after, highly priced, and sometimes temperamental, it’s not surprising that the cost and convenience of software that models the classics from Roland, Yamaha, PPG, Moog, Oberheim, Sequential Circuits and others have proved very popular, even if it doesn’t always have the cool factor or tactile vibe of the real thing. If a rare and expensive collection of analogue synthesizers continues to allude you, IK Multimedia have just the thing. While each of the 17 instrument categories offer a different visual look - in this example, a Moog-inspired styling - the underlying control set remains the same.
