In late July, IK Multimedia released with Syntronik an impressive sample-based Synthesizer workstation that includes many ready-to-use professional sounds. Two months later, the company surprised us with a iOS version of Syntronik that comes with all the same features and sound design option. Same as the PC & Mac version, the iOS version features also 17 powerful virtual Synthesizers based on high-quality sample content, several best-known modelled filters and their new developed DRIFT™ technology that emulates the way real analog circuits behave over time.
The PC & Mac version is currently in review and at this point, I can say that the sound quality as well as the sound design features are great. The included sounds in the individual libraries sounds great and are very usable for every genre. For example, the Galaxy library includes new sounds from the Alesis Andromeda Synthesizer that are designed and crafted by the hardware developer Taiho Yamaha himself. Not forget Syntronik is a great app for live musicians because you can split the keys in 4 different zones. Each zone can be mapped to another instrument. So you have one powerful multi-timbral virtual instrument with four different vintage synths.
A little downside. Syntronik doesn’t include a AU version so you can’t use it in multiple instances. For personal, I must have features for all music apps in 2017. In short: if you love old vintage synths and do you want some of these sounds for your iPad than check out this new release. The Syntronik app is free of charge and it includes some free sound play around. If you like more sounds, you can upgrade to the full version or buy individual libraries. At this moment, I would recommend you to the full version because you get more for your money compared to the asking price for each library.
