IK Multimedia Syntronik 99 Synth

The IK Multimedia Syntronik 99 is a modern take on the Yamaha SY99. Manufactured in the early ’90s, the SY99 has 16 voices with four elements per voice that can be either AWM (samples) or DX-style FM synthesis. A digital filter and powerful effects processor round out the sound for a polished and sophisticated tonality that is often complex and evolving, especially with pads. The usual FM electric pianos, bells, mallets and basses are also available, and somehow all of these effects sound just a little better in the SY99. It has been used by Vangelis, Chick Corea, Brian Eno, Toto and countless others. Syntronik includes only FM sounds from the SY99, and its representation in the library is vast and extensive.
