More Legends, More Control, More Freedom
Syntronik MAX v2 Software  sets a new standard in modern virtual synthesizers, featuring advanced sampling techniques combined with a hybrid sample and modeling synthesis engine to power a comprehensive collection of rare and sought-after synths with stunning sonic accuracy and the deepest editing.

This is a massive addition to the previous release, adding twelve new synths with advanced and much-requested functionality, along with a huge number of all-new presets for the twenty-two original synths taking advantage of all these new features.

Collection Like No Other
Syntronik 2 offers thirty-four legendary synths available in four different versions or as individual instruments. There are over 5,000 presets that cover a wide range of sounds from fifty-five of the most iconic to ultra-rare vintage synthesizers. For fans of the original, all of Syntronik and Syntronik Deluxe legacy presets are also included and sound identical in Syntronik 2.

Capturing Each Synthesizer’s DNA
To accurately reproduce timeless machines from Moog, Oberheim, Sequential Circuits, ARP, Roland and Yamaha, sampling their sound-generating oscillators is the only way to ensure truly authentic results. IK Multimedia captured multiple round-robins of single oscillators, oscillator combinations (including sync and FM sweeps) to reach more than 300,000 samples and over 200 GB.

Hybrid Synthesis Architecture
For highly flexible sound manipulation, while maintaining the exact sound of the original hardware, this synth engine now includes circuit-level models of the four best sounding filters ever: the Moog transistor ladder, Roland's IR3109 chip, the famous Curtis CEM3320 chip and the Oberheim SEM state variable filter. Syntronik 2 also provides powerful digital filters like Formant and Phase filters that can take the analog source oscillators into new sonic dimensions.

New Advanced Edit Panel
Syntronik 2 adds a new Edit panel with many new features users have been requesting. There are per-oscillator DRIFT controls, extended envelopes and LFOs along with a programmable modulation matrix. Plus, a new Wave Set Browser that lets you choose the sound for each of up to 4 oscillators and 2 suboscillators per preset for a new level of sound design.

DRIFT Technology
IK’s DRIFT technology varies the phase, color and pitch of the sampled oscillators to keep them moving just like the real analog oscillators do. Much more than simple detuning or even multiple-source modulation, DRIFT emulates the way real analog circuits behave over time. The result is the unmistakable sound of analog that is the origin of any classic synthesizer sound.

An Arsenal Of Effects
Syntronik 2 comes with seventy-one exciting effects derived from IK's popular T-RackS 5 mix and mastering suite, MixBox processors and AmpliTube 5 guitar workstation. Five effects can be simultaneously inserted on every instrument via a “lunchbox-style” interface, which offers immediate visualization and editing of every parameter from within a single, convenient location.

4 Synths Are Better Than 1
An easy-to-use layering interface lets you quickly map and play up to four different synthesizer parts simultaneously, as well as create advanced splits for maximum flexibility and live performance, while a brand-new controller filter tab for Syntronik 2 offers detailed filtering of sustain, PB, MW and AT per part for unparalleled sound design.

Dynamic Arpeggiators
The 4 synthesizer parts in Syntronik 2 feature a powerful note and chord arpeggiator, each with its own assignable range and settings as well as the ability to store them for instant recall. Along with a new step sequencer, this allows you to build complex rhythmic textures and sequences with extreme ease and inspiring effectiveness.
