WHAT!?!? No Tape Cassette FX in Syntronik!?!?

[zedd]

I finally got around to installing Syntronik along with 7 of the synths so that I could start playing around with some of the favorites I have heard demoed by others.

I discovered a great string pad in one of them, and the first thing I wanted to do was customize a version of it with some subtle cassette tape worbling and dropout effects.

So I go into the FX section and literally the very first effect that I search for is NOT in the collection.

Oh my... There's no Tape Cassette in Syntronik!!!!

I suspect this is because this version of Syntronik came out before Tape Cassette existed, and that it will hopefully be added in a future update. I really hope so because it is such a great new addition to the IKM effects family.

But can we have that update sooner than later, please!? That Tape Cassette effect is an essential effect for adding more intrigue and analog character to Synth presets. We can use MixBox to achieve the same result, but cannot save single combined presets that way.

Thanks in advance for a Syntronik update to address this.

(Maybe one already exists and I don't know about it... in which case... silly me...)

in my opinion, it is unlikely that more FX will be added to Syntronik. Go get MixBox or TR5 or both

And yet, the Mixbox modules are the same size and everything, so adding new modules should be easy and would be such a great match for Syntronic. I would have built that into that structure of the software for adding modules.

Oh my... I just saw that SampleTank is also missing Tape Cassette. I hadn't realized that until now. I thought I had found it there previously. It should be there along with the Phonograph, Lo-Fi and Saturator effects.

I hope both Syntronik and ST4 will have that module added, and hopefully it could be easily added to an update.

Yes of course I have MixBox already... that was one of my very first GB bonus items... it was almost the first purchase of my first GB entry. And apparently that is where I learned of the delights of Tape Cassette. Great module!

MixBox came out after Syntronik (and SampleTank 4) and has some exclusive effects.

Hopefully at least Tape Cassette will be added to those products.

For the record, I enjoy experimenting with Syntronik and SampleTanks libraries, and saving customized versions of favorite presets while using the STANDALONE version with my DAW closed.

What this means is that if Tape Cassette is not available in those products, I cannot save presets with the tape effect.

I guess that also means that I'm gonna have to work in my DAW if I do want to record reference demos of presets that utilize that effect.

Anyway... just providing some feedback. Hopefully this will be a logical module to add in some future updates. It's a good one!
