The catalogs of such sample masters as UVI and Native Instruments are filled with offerings such as this. There are dozens of sample libraries which indeed do just that вЂ“ they take samples of the sounds of older electronic gear and make those available, sometimes with processing circuitry similar to the originals, sometimes not. TheyвЂ™re not looking for the power to make an вЂњoriginalвЂќ sound (and letвЂ™s remember Milton BabbittвЂ™s old adage вЂњNothing becomes tiresome more quickly than a вЂњnew sound.вЂќ), but are in fact, wanting to have available sounds from electronic music hits of the past that theyвЂ™ve come to know and like. But many people donвЂ™t share that definition. This implies a quite different definition of a synthesizer than many people have these days, and is, frankly, a quite pleasantly вЂњold-schoolвЂќ definition. At a minimum, sounds should be able to be frequency and amplitude modulated at almost any point in the patch, and control signals of changing frequency should be available to modulate just about any aspect of the sound. A proper вЂњsynthesizer,вЂќ in my view, would be patchable with lots and lots of possibilities for modifying sound and changing it in real-time.

Mind you, I havenвЂ™t tried all 1200 of the presets, nor do I have a computer available with Syntronik on it to make a point by point comparison, but my initial gut feeling is that the two instruments seem pretty identical.Дavid mentioned in his review that this was not a full featured synthesizer, but rather a collection of synthesizer waveforms, performed through a common patch, which emulated many of the functions of the original hardware. For example, IвЂ™m pretty sure that the same 79 presets for the J-8 synth exist on both the computer and iPad versions.

I donвЂ™t know how they compress the 60GB of data the computer version requires into approximately 5GB which all the samples for the full version take up on my iPad, but I donвЂ™t see many differences between the samples available on the computer and iPad versions.

Having just gotten an iPad Pro, with lots of spare memory in it, I thought that it would be good to cover the iOS app, seeing how it compared with the computer version. Shortly after that, IK announced that Syntronik was now available for the iPad. In our last issue, David Baer covered the computer version of IK MultimediaвЂ™s synth-sample powerhouse, Syntronik вЂ“ read that review here. IK MultimediaвЂ™s Synth-Sample powerhouse comes to the iPad, bells and whistles intact.
