Syntronik Not Loading Presets

There is a new release available:

What’s new in Syntronik 2.1.1:

• Fixed issues where some legacy .st3i Instrument settings would recall incorrectly when saved in DAW session
• General reliability improvements

Thanks, David!

Does this update fix the issue?

I did install it and another IK update (Amplitube, took a long time).

I did not check it for Modulated Fat Pad (JP-8) since I had switched to another sound I liked better.

But, the weird thing is (before I did the update) I had the same problem again with Chiming (Blau synth).

I reloaded the sound, closed GP, did the updates, and I seemed to still have the problem.(Maybe they did not fix that one?)

There are actually two “Chiming” presets. (Maybe one is a legacy from Syntronik I and maybe the other they re-did for Syntronik II (?). I did not even check which one I was using because I was not tweaking it and whatever I used sounded good (for the beginning of Take on Me).

So, this time I loaded the other version of Chiming.

I shut everything down, but did not restart and check again because I was running late for work.

I will check again. Maybe I now have loaded up the Syntronik II version, so I won’t have a problem?

Until I have some time under my belt without a problem, I will have to check this sound before the gig.

I will report back.

Thanks,

Jeff

And does that sound always come back correctly?

Yes, that one has worked fine. Have not had an issue with it.

I use Syntronik II a lot. Most presets work fine. (But you know it only takes one to mess things up!).

And apparently the problem is intermittent sometimes. I thought Chiming (Blau) was a one-time thing, but then it happened again this morning.

So, I will check it a few more times before my gig tomorrow night. Then at the gig I will try it before the set starts. (Obviously, I shouldn’t have to do this).

But, if it goes months without a problem, I can have have some comfort it was fixed (either due to the Syntronik II update or maybe the fact that I am now using the other version of Chiming (or both?)).

Ok. Either something is not being properly initialized or some parameters are not being included in the state when it is requested by the host or being sent back to the plugin.

You guys are great. Thank you. Either way, I am assuming it is an issue with Syntronik II (not at issue with GP).

I started up GP and the Chiming preset (Blau synth) played properly (proper volume).

We’ll see if it is consistent going forward.

Thanks again.

Jeff

Suggest you update your KVR question to reflect this

Done. I tried to make it clear it is not a GP issue. (On k-v-r complaining about IK bugs is pretty much a regular thing).

I know this is 2 years old – I’m having the same problem with SampleTank recalling ST3 and Miroslav2 CE presets super quietly. Still…

I swore off IK years ago, but when they allowed me to download my old ST3 samples and import them into ST4, and then I got a new laptop which can handle real-time audio, I gave them another chance. Joke’s on me.

@brandon , can you explain fixing the presets a little better? Are you saving the presets you build as GP Presets, as internal ST4 presets, or ST4 multis? When you go to the preset folder, are you looking for a .sti4 file or something else?

IK support is some kind of awful slow, and I had a gig where this happened over the weekend. My string patches just… didn’t come back on audibly. Fortunately they were layered with Vb3ii and hybrid synth, so I think I was the only one that noticed this time.

Help?

Moderator - You can bump this to a different thread if this got too long.

In my case, I did not have the correct pathways linking Syntronik to my samples for each synth

Also, I was using two laptops and each had slightly different pathways. (The pathways IK wants seemed a little complicated to me. I ended up not following them because I do not use Sampletank.)

Since I have corrected that, I have not had a problem. [Of course, this may have nothing to do with your issue]
