Sonik Synth

Let me begin by saying that this was everything I expected and a little more. Once Sampletank LE was installed I proceeded to copy the Sonic Synth discs to my hardrive. It really is fantastic, the organs pump out at you, the clavinet with a wah is incredibly funky, the electric pianos are luscious, the basses are nice, the strings sound REAL, etc. The highlights were definitely in the synth section - some spacey pads and ripping leads. The only bad thing was you cannot load patches while it's playing or else it distorts for a few seconds and can freeze. Just remember to hit stop before you scan for another sound, and only 4 per instance, but this doesn't really matter cause once you have 4 sounds going you'll have to bounce soon anyways. Bouncing tracks is key here. Oh and I recommend a midi controller with a good range if you want to really play this synth- when playing an organ sound I'd hit the bass notes while playing higher chords- can't do that with two octaves.Read Review
