I hate to be the one saying this but... I didn't liked the demos
So many different synths... and I couldn't hear almost any difference between the overall tone of them!
Maybe I'm finally getting the first signs of hearing loss but... unfortunately I think this one is not for me.
But I guess people will be posting many more demos after it's been finally released. I'll keep hearing them. Maybe I change my mind.
 
Meanwhile, let me post a demo track for a real analog synth that I liked very much:

The demos all sounded pretty different to me...
 
So pretty much every important Moog and Roland synth ever made along with a nice helping of Oberheim and Yamaha and other synths for 70 bucks that's pretty impressive and I'm a notorious grump. No Korgs, or E-mus or the DX-7. About half the history of the synthesizer in one bundle. I believe Fleer is going to be tailoring his summer course on the history of the synthesizer to fit this package.
 
Interesting discussion of filter designs and prices...

I have most of these emulations already, from Arturia, NI, Creamware, etc... and even some free ones that sound really good. I even have a real JX-10 (and a few other Roland vintages) right in front of me right now   I'll save this $99.99 for buying uHe Diva in a couple of months. This synth have a similar approach in allowing the combination of different synth elements (oscilator, filters, etc) fully emulated and I believe It'll fit better in my workflow (and IMO will sound better than most of these emulations too). And i really don't fell being stupid by making this choice
 
Edit: And I forgot to say that I hate the TB303 sound with all my heart, real or emulated. They can keep this one.

Hi this is my big moan!!
 
I would not give Ik Multimedia the time of day.
All you get is excuses and pass the buck with the glitchy Sampletank 3.
I have never known such awful software.
Stack a few Instruments up on separate midi channels and the program freezes always and I am not the only one to have this.There are quite a few people out there with this problem and all you get is taken around In circles until you cut your losses as I have.
All other vst's work flawlessly.Even free ones
 
I would recommend paying the extra with Arturia's half price deal 100%.
Again the New user gets the big deals and not the faithful customer.This deal will not discount the synths you want If you already own some of them.The same as Insurance companies and Tv and broadband packages.No loyalty to the original customer.
What do you expect today In this crazy world of no respect!!  "Not a lot"!!!
Pity Native did not back us up on the Pro 53,but they took our money!!!Next It will be FM8 going down.
All this probably In favour of Little toy synths and coloured square push button sample players which they call creativity.Great for the Lego brick musician!!!
This IK deal is like a cut price restaurant  "Pile em high and cheap"!!!!
 
Go for the Arturia deal
 
 
All the Best

Hummm... let me say that I had no intention to bash IK Multimedia in any way. I have all of its Amplitube and T-Racks line of plugins, and I like them very much. I just didn't liked what I heard in the demos for this syntronik synth and, solely based on this, I decided not to buy it right now. As I also said, I'll keep looking at new demos and videos after it's being released. Maybe I'm rushing into conclusions...
 
Oh... and as much as I love the Arturia products... they also took the Spark drum machine out of the V Collection in release 5, probably to induce people to buy it bundled with the SparkLE controller.

Hi sergio
 
Can you use Syntronik synths as  separate vst's without Sampletank 3???
 
Sampletank Is the pits
 
 
All the best
