Sonik synth 3 software#
The only issue I have is that after importing them into ST3, I noticed my OS/SSD (which only software is installed) shows a loss of considerable amount of GB space (which I don't want happening). EDIT: Grem, I'm not quite clear if I understood your question properly.yeah, you have to import ALL the ST2 sounds/name them in ST3 (which does work). Either way, you have to have the sounds installed somewhere for ST to load them. I don't know if the load times will be slower (which I imagine would depend on the USB 2 or 3 speed).
Sonik synth 3 install#
I have 3 (internal) HD's on my machine and one is dedicated for synth samples which all my libraries are installed in. Although I haven't tried the following, I'm sure you could install the sounds on an external drive and have that plugged in when using ST. So by what your saying, the only way to import sounds from the old instruments to ST3 is to install/have them installed on the machine? So I was kinda wondering what would be the best way to get this done without having major problems. I have the old SampleTank with all the instruments and sound packs loaded on my sample drive (SSD). When you read about them, you find that they have certain parameters that can't be properly replicated in stuff like Kontakt although NI states that Kontakt can play these patches.Grem Mesh, that's where I am now. I haven't used some of the "higher end" stuff like Giga but I believe that those also will have a much higher quality and realism than stuff like Hypersonic and Sampletank. Still, the highest quality natural instruments I've used have been those supplied in the Apple Loops collections (the collections have instruments and loops), and the patches for Logic's built in sampler. I can layer up 5 instruments in the time it takes to load a piano in Sampletank, and Sampletank will crash half the time during loading of large patches. Hypersonic is great to me because things happen instantly. The other stuff is as good as Sampletank, Sonic Synth and Plugsound stuff which I've also used. As for the patches sounding realistic, the things I found to be truly lacking were the guitars and the ethnic instruments. That right there is worth it's weight in gold.
Sonik synth 3 Patch#
The only sample based soft module I've seen so far that can load any size patch instantly is Hypersonic. You should probably search for that to get more info. There was a fairly long thread comparing Hypersonic 2 to Sampletank/Sonic Synth a month or two ago. Since locating and loading sounds quickly is Hypersonic's forte I like to use Hypersonic to flesh out ideas. IK Multimedia is offering Sonik Synth for 29.99 US/24.99 normally 199.99 US for fathers day. Patches take a little while longer to load in Sonic Synth than Hypersonic. WOWZA IK Multimedia has a new holiday-inspired discount program called Krazy Deal. Then there are other area's where it is a wash. That said, the Sonic Synth pianos and guitars sound more realistic than Hypersonic's and some of the Sonic Synth acoustic instruments sound more expressive, so there are some area's where it outshines Hypersonic.

Many of the sounds are elements explicitly designed for layering and do not stand alone well, so be prepared. Sonic Synth does have a lot of sounds but I find most of the presets to be blah.

I guess it depends on the type of sounds you tend to use. Sampletank can play Sonic Synth's sounds however. It uses the Sampletank sampling engine, but it will only play other Sonic Synth sounds. Sonic Synth is like Sample Tank with an emphasis on synth sounds, where Sampletank emphasizes acoustic sounds.
