No longer opens

Paid for all extras but now won’t open. All I get is adverts for iRig. Complete scam.

Doesn’t Work

This app doesn’t work on the latest OS. Have deleted and reinstalled to no avail.

Fingers crossed

Is Syntronik 2 coming to iPad?

Sehr unschön

Man bekommt einige kastrierte synths mit 2-3 presets.
Die synths in sich sehen teilweise ein bischen „abgespekt“ aus was die regleranzahl betrifft.
Was ich ein bisschen dumm finde ist das man 17 euro zahlt und wenn man dann eins der synths upgraden möchte gubt es keinen weg nur ein synth zu wählen sondern muss 99 euro hinblättern.

Nein danke und nie wieder unterstütze ich diesen Developer mit einen kauf

Sehr guter Sound aber…

stürzt unter AUM und Audiobus ständig ab :-(

Some okay sounds, but not worth the cost

IK Multimedia’s pricing model is confusing at best. I’ve sorted out that Syntronik CS comes with only 4 instruments and a handful of patches. This version comes with 17 instruments and I think 50 patches. But if you’re going to do it, just download the CS version and pay the $99 for Deluxe and call it a day. That comes with everything they offer.

Be aware though, if you have the desktop version, this is NOT an iPad version of that. It’s Syntronik 1 not 2, and if you do what I tried and manually match some of the patches from the desktop version, just know that they will either not sound anywhere near the original, or close but not exact. Some of the effects are missing, and since this is v1 and not v2, the entire advanced Edit panel is missing.

One other annoyance is that I found several places where it was advertised that you could purchase single synths in the store. That is NOT the case. All links in the Synth manager just take you to the store where there are only 2 products. $79 or $99.

The final annoyance was that once I spent the money on this version, it disn’t give me a discount on the higher tier versions, so if you plan to upgrade, it’ll still cost you full price. So again, try out the CS version and then just decide if you want to buy the $79 or $99 packages. Don’t bother with this one unless you plan to tinker a lot and make your own sounds.

Mise à jour svp

Votre app est intéressante mais a besoin d’un sérieux lifting .Merci de ne pas laisser tomber les utilisateurs iOS qui croient en vos produits.

Not Terrific

I paid £14.99 and what I’ve seen and heard has potential. But it’s just okay and I won’t be using it for anything. The price of the full pack is just ridiculous. Knowing what I know now would I pay £14.99 for what is basically a demo version again, No? Would I recommend it, No? Very Disappointing.

Just a Thought

Syntronik is awsome. Love that we can layer! What happened to Syntronik 2 for iOS?? Come on, I’d purchase.

Muy buen AUV3

Muy buen Auv3

Update!!!!!!!!!!!

2 years and no update for improvements

A giant Rompler with some MixBox effects.

If you purchase full package this eats up 6.2GB of storage. While the effects are nice. The app is kinda clunky. Changing presets take forever as they have to load giant sample files for each preset. Needs trimming down. Sounds very nice but not spectacular. Sound tends to be a bit on the distorted side (not in a good way). I have noticed that with Most IKM apps on ISO. I have SampleTron and it also has a similar distortion with no effects. Hopefully they will make one that models the synths instead of a ROM Player with IR effects.

Not an Emulator

I was expecting at least the character of the synths to change from device to device but it’s really the same synth engine wrapped in different skins. It’s blatantly misleading. The proof is in the FM synths. They’re the same two oscillators as in the analogue ones. So again, the same synth each time, just wrapped in a different skin.

Pretty F**king disappointed

I’ve seen some rips before but nothing like this for $23, let’s just say it’s very light on the presets and to get the ‘ more ‘ version is a small fortune it makes me wonder what the free version gets. Also in spite of the hype it’s not very good unless you want to tweak, and tweak you shall but there isn’t much to tweak because it’s sample based so… buy the more version or get sweet F/A for your money, I’ll be sticking to the sweet F/A version because IK multimedia is not ever getting another cent of mine, I figure I could make it do some weird acid loops if nothing else, it functions.. that’s about it and most other apps can do it better for less. Sorry IK, you screwed me over, you made me believe there was a full package here and there isn’t, that makes you dishonest liars and you should include everything to compensate everyone who paid for this app. Liars.

One sound…. All I Got

You browse instruments. Pick the one you want and load it, then select the sound (usually only one or two choices). Then play. You get one crappy sound. Switch instrument and preset and you get the same sound, even with only 1 instrument loaded at a time. Don’t buy this even if it’s free

Interface ruim, não justifica o preço alto.

Interface ruim, quase nenhuma atualização, tem vários bugs etc etc. Tudo da IK Multimedia deixa muito a desejar na qualidade sonora, tem muita coisa melhor e mais barata. Evitem.

Scam within a scam

If you, like me, are dumb enough to plop down money for this, hoping, reasonably, for some synth goodness, forget it. Wanna upgrade? You need at least thirty more quid. This price point is something like multi level marketing, ie, a scam. I don’t know why this company never bothers researching legit competition properly. I am expecting a refund, right now. No more scams, here or elsewhere.

Beautiful!

I love this suite of legendary and vintage synths. Very inspiring and very usable. Presets sound so good. Great interface. Perfect tweakability of synths. Essential yet deep. And the effects are fantastic. Ability to layer synths and is a nice touch. And it is universal an interface that works on an iPhone. The IAPs are worth it. Only synth app I need for recording and live performance.

Sounds great, some UI issues.

Pretty much as the title says. A great sounding, tweakable sample-based synth module that is let down by a couple of minor UI issues affecting 11 inch iPads. In standalone mode, the keyboard and mod wheel are cut in half, making the onscreen keyboard unplayable, even for trying out presets. As an AUv3 in AUM, the UI doesn’t scale correctly. IK, please fix these minor issues.

Promising app but needs work!

***WILL UPDATE AS APP IS REVISED***

I was pretty skeptical of the concept but had to give this a chance because CS Box is such a great app. That said, this was a pleasant surprise in terms of sound quality!

Then you are confronted with the fact that at $9.99 you only get two sounds per synth?

The interface, leaves something to be desired and feels cluttered. CS Box has such a direct and intuitive interface. In particular, I wish the synth browsing section was cleaner.

Wish List:

• Get rid of In App Purchasing!*
• MIDI implementation needs work
• Please add MPE (Midi Polyphonic Expression)
• Clean up interface
• Allow for user samples to replace stock sounds!
• Even better, create modules CS Box Style, so you could mix and match components from different synths (ie. Sounds from Wavestation, Filter from Oberheim, Chorus from Jupiter, etc)

* I wish IK and developers would do away with in app purchases, unless the paradigm is free to demo and then you buy all the content as a whole. The price is exorbitant as is but will keep an eye out for this to go on sale!
