Every music producer, composer, and sound designer shares a common dream: to have a studio filled with the world’s most iconic and sought-after synthesizers. The earth-shaking bass of a Minimoog, the ethereal pads of a Jupiter-8, the cutting leads of a Prophet-5—these are the sounds that have defined genres and inspired generations.
But the reality of owning this hardware is a different story. It’s a world of prohibitive costs, constant maintenance, and the endless hunt for rare parts. What if you could access this entire museum of legendary synthesizers, perfectly captured and enhanced with modern power, right inside your computer?
Introducing Syntronik 2, the new standard in virtual synthesizers. This isn’t just another VST. It’s a meticulously curated collection of 33 classic synths, powered by an advanced hybrid synthesis engine and deep, intuitive controls. Syntronik 2 delivers the stunning sonic accuracy of the originals with a level of creative freedom that was previously unimaginable. More legends, more control, more freedom—your synth collection is here.
The New Powerhouse of Synthesis
Syntronik 2 is a massive leap forward, combining IK Multimedia’s most advanced sampling techniques with powerful modeling to create an instrument that is both authentic and flexible.
- A Museum of Synthesizers: At its core, Syntronik 2 features 33 meticulously modeled instruments, based on 54 of the most iconic and ultra-rare hardware synths ever made. From the legendary Moog, Oberheim, and Sequential Circuits to the classic Roland, Yamaha, and Korg, the entire history of synthesis is at your command. This massive update adds 11 new synths to the already legendary lineup.
- Hybrid Synthesis Engine: We captured the exact DNA of these timeless machines by deep-sampling their oscillators—over 300,000 samples in total—for unmatched authenticity. This is then fused with a powerful modeling engine, including circuit-modeled filters from the most famous synths ever made (Moog transistor ladder, Roland IR3109, Curtis CEM3320, and Oberheim SEM), giving you the best of both worlds.
- DRIFT™ Technology: Static, sterile digital sound is a thing of the past. Our proprietary DRIFT™ technology introduces the subtle, random variations in phase, pitch, and color that are characteristic of real analog hardware. This breathes life and movement into your sound, making each note feel truly alive.
- A Universe of Sound-Shaping Tools: Sculpt your sound with a new “Edit” panel that unlocks a programmable modulation matrix, extended envelopes, and LFOs. Layer up to 4 different synth parts simultaneously to create rich, complex textures and splits for live performance.
- Dynamic Arpeggiators: Animate your parts with 4 advanced arpeggiators and a new step sequencer. Build intricate rhythmic patterns, basslines, and melodic textures with an inspiring and immediate workflow.
- Studio-Grade Effects: Go beyond the synth itself with an onboard arsenal of 71 high-quality effects, derived directly from IK’s world-renowned T-RackS 5, AmpliTube 5, and MixBox processors. From vintage EQs and compressors to lush reverbs and aggressive distortions, your entire effects chain lives inside one plugin.
- A World of Inspiration: Instantly find the perfect sound with an enormous library of over 5,500 professionally crafted presets. A powerful browser lets you search by keyword, category, character, and type, so you spend less time searching and more time creating.
Transform Your Workflow, Elevate Your Sound
From GarageBand to Abbey Road: Access an Unattainable Synth Collection
You no longer need a six-figure budget to have the sounds that shaped music history. Syntronik 2 puts the entire sonic palette of legendary artists and producers at your fingertips. Whether you’re scoring a film and need the sweeping cinematic textures of a CS-80, or producing a synth-wave track that demands the punch of a Juno-60, you have the authentic sound on call, ready to go in seconds.
Breathe Life into Your Productions with True Analog Soul
The number one complaint about software synths is that they can sound “sterile” or “too perfect.” Syntronik 2 solves this problem at its core. The DRIFT™ algorithm doesn’t just detune oscillators; it subtly varies their behavior over time, just like real analog circuits. This organic movement adds warmth, character, and a non-linear feel that helps your synth tracks sit naturally in a mix and connect emotionally with the listener.
Craft Your Signature Sound, Faster Than Ever
Stop scrolling through endless, generic presets. With Syntronik 2’s powerful 4-part layering engine, you can instantly mix and match oscillators, filters, and presets from different synths to build completely new and unique sounds. Want the aggressive oscillators of a Minimoog running through the silky filter of an OB-Xa? Now you can. This, combined with the deep modulation matrix and intuitive preset browser, dramatically accelerates your sound design workflow.
Go Beyond the Synth: A Complete Sound-Shaping Suite
A great synth sound is often the result of powerful external processing. Syntronik 2 integrates this crucial step directly into the plugin. Polish your pads with a legendary LA-2A-style compressor from T-RackS, add gritty saturation to your bass with a distortion pedal from AmpliTube, or drench your leads in a lush hall reverb. Having this studio-grade processing built-in saves CPU, simplifies your mix chain, and keeps you in the creative flow.
Endorsed by the Pros
“For film scoring, the sheer breadth and authenticity of Syntronik 2 is staggering. I can pull up the iconic ‘Blade Runner’ brass from the V-80 or a delicate texture from the Noir in an instant. The DRIFT technology makes these sounds feel like they’re coming from real, breathing hardware.”
David Chen, Film & Game Composer
“The layering and arpeggiator are my secret weapons for creating complex, evolving synth lines. I can stack four different instruments, each with its own arp pattern, and modulate them to create rhythms I’d never come up with otherwise. It’s an endless source of inspiration.”
Maya Rodriguez (aka Cielo), Electronic Music Producer
