Syntronik
Syntronik is an AAX plugin instrument developed by IK Multimedia that runs within Avid Pro Tools and other compatible DAWs. It is a virtual synthesizer offering a collection of 33 legendary synthesizer emulations, including both original Syntronik instruments and newer models introduced in Syntronik 2. The plugin features multi-sampled oscillators, circuit-modeled filters, over 5,500 presets, disk streaming, a step sequencer, and integration with IK's SampleTank engine. It is used by music producers, composers, and sound designers who need authentic recreations of classic hardware synthesizers in their Pro Tools workflow.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSyntronik ships as an AAX plugin that runs inside Avid Pro Tools, not as a standalone application. The search results confirm that Syntronik 2 includes native Apple Silicon support (evidenced by the architecture detection showing arm64 / cputype 12 in the binary analysis), meaning the plugin itself can run natively. However, the plugin's behavior depends entirely on Pro Tools itself. If you are running Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer, Pro Tools ships as a native application and will load native AAX plugins. To ensure you have the latest native Syntronik plugin, download and run the IK Multimedia Product Manager or visit the IK Multimedia website to check for the most recent Syntronik 2 update. The update will install or upgrade the AAX plugin files in Pro Tools' plugin directory automatically. If you are still running an older version of Pro Tools (2023.5 or earlier), that version cannot load native plugins even if Syntronik is native-capable, so updating Pro Tools itself is the priority. Once Pro Tools is on version 2023.6 or later and Syntronik 2 is updated via IK's installer, the plugin will run natively on your M-series Mac without Rosetta 2.
