Or, at least go to the Syntronik 2 webpage and listen (on a good set of speakers or headphones) to the audio demos - the overview ones for Syntronik 2 as well as the ones for the individual Syntronik 2 synths. Note: The preceding opinion is mine go get your own! Download the free Syntronik 2 and give it a test. But when it comes to rich, full, authentic sound, IMHO many of those Syntronik 2 sounds just can't be beat. I own and love Arturia, especially Pigments. Yeah, otherwise Arturia, especially if you want pianos and organs. Unless you want the choice of 7 filters (including circuit-level models of 4 well-known classics) per instrument preset… then Syntronik 2.Unless you want sounds from more classic synths… then Syntronik 2.Unless you want a significantly lower price especially with the current amazing group buy pricing… then Syntronik 2.

Unless you want 4 preset/instrument layering with independent arp/sequencer, full effects, midi control (PB, mod wheel, sustain, aftertouch) filtering, keyboard range, velocity range, and tuning per layer… then Syntronik 2.Unless you want a consistent and larger, more comprehensive set of effects… then Syntronik 2.Unless you want fuller, richer, more dynamic, more authentic sound… then Syntronik 2.So try out the Syntronik Free version, and compare for yourself!Īrturia, definitely you can do lots of tweaking. And it has a very nice dynamic arpeggiator. However, Syntronik is more useful if you like to create layers and splits, with up to 4 instruments. But some of the sounds are worth the wait! Just takes a bit more patience to find them, and recommend setting them as favorites! YMMV on load times, based on your computer and drive speed. In comparison, every time you select a preset in Syntronik, you then will need to load it and wait for the samples to load. And your MiniLab MK2 should have built-in control maps for AL, so you are ready to play! And IMO the preset browser is more advanced in Analog Lab. Simply because modeled synths have nearly instantaneous preset load times, so are much easier to audition sounds with. So as a preset machine, I would lean towards Analog Lab. I would consider them both to be preset machines, and both have great sounds! But both are limited to the oscillators designed into the presets. I have the full Analog Lab V and the full Syntronik.
