Sonik Synth 2...!!

[Synthdan]

It's been quite some time since my last post here, to say the least. It seems as though the immense quantities of sound data I've chosen to devote my life to have tamed my forum presence.

I'd apologize, but...well - I could be doing worse things with my time.

I know many of you are waiting anxiously for the forthcoming Sonik Synth 2 patch list, which will be available very soon. For the time being, here's some 'teaser' information regarding what's going to be inside the MASSIVE Sonik Synth 2 library:



Motion Synths & Pads: Rich, ethereal, moody and atmospheric synths, phat analog flavors, evolving picturesque soundscapes and evocative dreamy synth textures like no other synth has offered before.


Synth Bass & Leads: From the classic sounds of vintage monophonic synths such as Arps

looks good

Understatement of the year!

That thing sounds (like it will be) awesome! I'm particularly interested in the Electronic Drums and percussion, and the "Elements". Mmm tasty!

Forever,




Kim.

Thanks for listening. Which demo did you listen to (I've done a few ). I'm pretty sure I'll be getting SS2 as soon as it's released.

Forever,

Yeah, Jeez does nice demos.

By the way, ATS, the new system for ePointz is that your cap of newly added ePointz is up to 50 and then they must be used before you can get new ones. The only reason you had more than 50 in your account was because you got them BEFORE we did this change. We weren't going to take them away or anything of course. But, we did some studies and realized that we can't give products away for free all the time as much as it would be nice! But, we can give the user up to $50. in ePointz at a time if they've earned it through referals and we'll also have other ways to get them. I guess that'll get you guys a free refill for Reason or perhaps make an ST library only cost you $10-20 more in some cases.

However, for the transition where you didn't know this if someone put your name down for the 5 ePointz and you didn't get it because you were up to the max we can go ahead and add the 5 ePointz AFTER you've used up your 50 (which in your case ATS, you just did so). To do that just email sales@esoundz.com and ask that any known referal ePointz are added to your account after you've used up you 50. We're not opposed to doing this at all but in order for this to work "automatically" you have to be aware when you've reached your limit and then you have to USE it before you can get more ePointz. If you think about it, this makes sense for a retail store like this. There has to be some give and take. Above all, the ePointz system has to be something we can continue to do without there being a snag in the system (like for instance, when we start carrying hardware on esoundz.com and people are getting keyboards for free from us??? Can't do it! But, $50 off because they earned it in ePointz? That on top of whatever deal they're getting? THAT we can do. See?).

The 50 cap is for auto-earned ePointz (such as referals). There may be other situations where you can have more than that in your account, also added manually by us such as from a contest or perhaps just because we're being generous. You know how we are.

I have I think a very dumb question gent's.
Is SS2 going to have it's own dll and GUI or are these add-ons to use in ST2?

[harmony gardens]

I see your dilema on the e points, squid. I don't even have any epoints, I don't think,,, lol, but here's a suggestion. Perhaps you could allow as many epoints to accumulate as a user wants, but limit their use to $50 per product. Just a thought.

You can use it as both. Cool huh?

Sonik Synth 2 will have its own dll and it is its own plug-in with a nice easy to use, fast and inspiring interface. It browses to the SS2Instruments folder. However, your SampleTank 2 can ALSO browse to the SS2Instruments folder and read Sonik Synth 2's sounds because they are made in ST format.

Unlike some other rompler systems this is pretty flexible.

Well, they CAN get as many ePointz as they want. After they spend their limit of $50. in the ePointz piggybank (and there is a meter in their user account area show how close they are to this) they can earn up to another $50 again and do the same thing. The key to this system is that it keeps people buying on the site which is how it works out for us. If you have ePointz in your account you'll want to spend it so you can have room to have more and get more stuff... kind of like a discount waiting to happen and you can't get the NEXT one until it does. I think it can work out well for btoh.

[Mighty_Hero]

Got it.
Yeah your GUI version looked different to me, so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

yeah Squids I know all of this. I already used my big lot of them I had for Sampletank 2, I got up to 50 again and ordered SS2 for $50 off but when I put in my refereall it didn't give me my $5 ecreditz even though I just used the 50. I think that is an error in the system. Anyhow I can't wait to get SS2!!!

[Squids]

Ah, I see. So, it doesn't add your new referal ePointz when you are in the process of using up your 50 ePointz. Okay, I agree it should. We'll change that if possible.
