Sonik Synth 2.1

[krank]

Is there any advantage in using SonikSynth if I have SampleTank 2?

SS has more, well, "synth" type presets as compared to actual instruments for ST. It depends upon what you write. If you don't need synth stuff and use only sampled acoustic instruments, then ST + esoundz stuff will do you well.

I have, though, found some nice acoustic instrument patches in SS - a bass and acoustic guitar or two that were rather nice. But, honedtly, I think you can get what you need that you're missing on an "as needed" basis from eS and do better that way.

If you do a lot of synth work, you'll suffer no trouble by acquiring SS, especially if you don't have any sort of "monster synth" type plug yet.

Just one perspective...

I think he's referring to using ST2 as a front end for both libraries. Would be nice to get a definitive answer if one will miss out on anything (like combi-presets) by doing that.

Edit: sorry, that got kind of double post-ish.
