Sonic Reality has compiled one of the most diverse sample collections of vintage synthesizers ever and incorporated a virtual synth museum inside of Sonik Synth 2. Waves and textures ranging from original orchestral soundscapes to rich vocal layers to wine glasses to traditional instruments like pianos, organs, guitars, drums and ethnic instruments are the elements of Sonik Synth 2’s massive sound set.īeautiful true analog circuitry and a variety of flavors from different manufacturers and models makes the broad range of collectible vintage synths from around the world appealing in so many styles of music. Each of these parts can also be combined by the user to obtain millions of different sonic possibilities giving this synth workstation plug-in the flexibility of endless creativity.Īt the heart of Sonik Synth is source material from Sonic Reality. Sonik Synth gives the user fast access to more than 500 sounds designed with layering of more than 1,000 individual parts made up of multisampled instruments, waveforms and performance elements. Covering a wide range of ethereal soundscapes, moving bass tones, leads, orchestral textures, spectral and vocal formant pads and all of the workstation variety of keyboard sounds and drums in one package. I'd be amazed if anyone (other than an IK employee ) told you otherwise.Sonik Synth sounds are created using multiple layers of up to 16 multitimbral parts with effects and a variety of synth engines combined together. The one thing you could begin to argue is that the pre-made Sampletank libraries give a bit more of a rompler-like experience compared to Kontakt, and maybe the Miroslav samples would appeal to some compared to the orchestral stuff included with Kontakt.Īpart from that, go for the NI bundle.

I'm puzzled that you even think it's a close race - it isn't. Massive and Absynth are also good quality synths on their own (personally I've never really got into Absynth, but some love it), then you've got a good B3 emulation, a decent enough large piano sample library, pretty good guitar amp modelling software, a drum sampler (personally I just use Kontakt for that though) and the cherry on the cake - Reaktor 5 with its massive user library, most of which is terrible, but some of which is very good, and it can be made to do all sorts of things. Then it gives you an excellent FM synth (FM8), a decent enough VA (Pro 53) that's very CPU friendly. NI gives you a dedicated sampler that comes with a large library, has good support in its own native format, and can import just about every other format that matters. All of those IK products are basically Sampletank with different libraries. I really dig the product demos by both companies, but for practicality, and ease of use, which company has the edge, and in what areas? I notice that both companies have excellent reputations and excellent sounding demos, but those of you with personal experiences with either or both products, which do you find easier to use and more convienient? Which setup would you consider to be more versatile? Versus the IK Multimedia Complete package: What are your opinions on both the Komplete 5 package which includes: and all very easy to use & little time to navigate/figure out. I would love to have excellent pianos, great strings, great synths. I am always looking at things, and a receptor is certainly in the cards in the next year or two to come.

For those of you with extensive softsynth knowledge- which full blown suite would you choose, and why? I am seriously considering grabbing a Muse Receptor with either the Native Instruments complete setup, or the newly announced Total Workstation package thru IK Multimedia.
