I say 'for soft synths that all sound the same, there are a lot of threads..nothing new' but that's why I would rather have samples...to each his own.

not all of them sounds the same, that's not true

Right back at you with your comment then..it's not nothing new, that's not true.

Okay, you say that all soft synths sound the same.

Please tell me how this...

If they sound the same to you, I suggest you have your hearing checked.

1 thing that always gets me about IK is the implementation of aftertouch. In ST3 I tried to raise a stink about it, but I guess it was a nonissue. Seeing how Syntronik is marketed as a synth (ish)... I really feel they need to take the time to implement aftertouch as a control somewhere in ST3, Syntronik or both.

It's baffling but they haven't implemented it in the SampleTank engine after more than a decade of people asking "why hasn't it got aftertouch?" so I guess it's never going to happen.

I've taken the approach of mapping it to something like CC11 either in the controller (a Linnstrument) or a MIDI converter tool in the DAW. That's OK in Cubase and Logic, but it's a royal PITA in Live because most of the M4L gadgets for mapping controllers assume you will map directly to a parameter in the plugin and not convert to a MIDI CC.

But, that's where you run into the second catch: IK only makes macros available for mapping. They are selected by the sound designer and often aren't set up for useful real-time playing control but more for mixing. So, half the time, you can't map to the filter or the LFO rate or LFO->Filter knob because it's not available.

Too much for me to ask that my point is that you can't say all samples or synths sound the same..so I say 'right back at you with your comment' ..I guess it went over your head. I prefer samples than that mush, just like you prefer mush to samples..to each his own, as I said. derailers.

Guess what? The 2nd example WAS samples. LMAO.

That's right. Samples played back via a granular sound engine that simply manipulates and start and end points of the sample in real time. And YOU couldn't tell.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

This is priceless.

SampleTank does not provide all the features present in Syntronik GUI, like the ability to switch between 1- and 2-OSC mode

You can select, when you go to edit page, there are Sample 1 and 2

I haven't finished downloading everything, much less installed anything, but the images in the Sampletank manual don't show the new parameters. Maybe IK used older images by mistake? I'm not seeing any difference from the previous manual.

I installed and authorized but I'm having an issue with downloading the library content. For example the syn 99 is a two part download and the first part was zipped and I unpacked it where I wanted it and all is well. The second part is syn_99_Part_2.dmg and is not zipped. Where is that folder supposed to go? I'm assuming with the first Syn99 but how do they merge? I didn't see anything in the manual or installation instructions.

Thanks

Each part should be a zip file (for Windows) - did you download the Windows version for one and the Mac version for the other? You should download the correct version for your OS and then once you unzip/uncompress the file you run the installer in each and it will put the files in the correct location.

Then your reply to my post was just you being an asshole.

Priceless.

wagtunes, spacekid's point was that someone said "Syntronik is not a synth therefore it all sounds the same [presumably either compared to other sample-based synths, or that individual synths in Syntronik sound like each other and there's no variety whatsoever]", to which he replied "i can say the same about synths and it would be just as valid". as in, not valid in the slightest. it was sarcasm, and it really did fly over your head. you missed important context to the discussion.

Oh, okay. Then I agree with him. Sarcasm does NOT translate well over the Internet.

My apologies.

[wagtunes]

Oh, and as far as "all samples sound the same" that's the most absurd thing I've heard in at least 10 minutes.

[robotmonkey]

So, is it a sample library, rompler or a synth?

all three, depending on the definition
