They sound great and you can mix and match a selection of seven filter models. The analogue-modelled filters are the bright spot here.

Since all of Syntronik's sounds are based on samples, this control is mostly limited to filter, envelopes and a basic LFO that can be routed to pan, pitch and filter frequency.

Once you load a preset (and figure out how to close the browser), you're greeted with a custom instrument UI resembling the original hardware that gives you a limited set of parameters to play with. It's possible to filter by instrument and/or category but it's not always obvious which filters are currently active. Also, it's easy to accidentally delete a preset when trying to close the browser due to a confusing use of X icons.

From a workflow perspective, the Browser takes some getting used to. The usual classics are well represented here-Moogs, Oberheims, Rolands, Sequential Circuits, Yamaha, ARP, PPG and of course the Alesis Andromeda. The 17 instruments are represented visually and include over 2000 categorised presets built on samples from 38 real-world instruments (similar instruments like the three Roland Jupiters are grouped together into one). You'll find the list of presets based on what instruments are installed in the Browser section. Syntronik's UI includes five main windows, namely the Instrument Browser, the Synth Panel, the Layer Panel, the Effects Panel and the Arpeggio Panel. The instrument can be run standalone or as a plug-in (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX formats) but if you're running an old DAW, you should be aware that it is only available in 64-bit. Once Syntronik is registered, the downloads are only available in your User Area for 180 days, after which time you'll need to pay $10 to unlock them again.

Installation of the full version is a bit cumbersome, as you have to download the main product and all 17 instruments as separate installers.

IK Multimedia offers Syntronik in two different flavours: a full package for $299 (or less if you already own IK products) that includes all 17 of the virtual instruments, and a free version that ships with a sample of presets that can be expanded with à la carte purchase of individual instruments for $49 each. In addition to the existing technology, IK Multimedia developed a brand new sample playback algorithm for Syntronik called DRIFT, which was designed to mimic the free-running nature and pitch variations of an analogue synthesiser. Erik had been developing a sample library of his own impressive synth collection on the side and decided last year to collaborate with IK Multimedia to transform it into a brand new instrument. More recently, it has partnered with IK Multimedia on products like SampleTank and Sonik Synth. Nordlander is also associated with Sonic Reality, a company that was formed back in 1996 to create sample libraries for hardware samplers. They put this technology in the hands of a team lead by Erik Nordlander, whose resume includes the Alesis Andromeda-a synth sometimes credited with paving the way for the renaissance of analogue synthesis.

"Synergy" is one of those buzzwords that is often used ironically these days. But for companies with product lines developed over decades of research and development, looking at potential synergies within their own catalogue just makes sense. One recent example is the newly released virtual instrument Syntronik by IK Multimedia, which borrows from SampleTank's multi-sampling platform, the mixing engine of T-RackS and the analogue-modelled processing effects of AmpliTube in order to create a completely new package comprising 17 virtual synthesisers.
