Syntronik
Syntronik is a virtual synthesizer instrument by IK Multimedia that emulates rare and sought-after classic analog and digital synthesizers. It combines sample-based and modeling synthesis techniques to recreate authentic sounds from iconic hardware synths, including instruments from Moog, ARP, Oberheim, Prophet, Yamaha, Roland and others. Syntronik is available as both a standalone application and as a plugin (AU, VST, VST3 formats) for use within DAWs, and is widely used by musicians, sound designers, producers and composers in electronic music production, film scoring, and other creative audio work. The software includes thousands of presets, multi-part capabilities, step sequencing, and effects processing.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSyntronik 2 ships as a Universal Binary with full native Apple Silicon support — the version 2.x line includes native arm64 architecture alongside Intel, so it runs natively on M-series Macs. Check which version you have by opening the app, going to Help menu and looking for version information or by right-clicking on Syntronik in Finder and selecting Get Info, where it should show "Application (Universal)" rather than "Application (Intel)". If you are running Syntronik 1.x, you will need to update to Syntronik 2 to get native Apple Silicon support; users still on version 1 will experience the benefits of native performance (better CPU efficiency and battery life) by upgrading. Visit the IK Multimedia website or use IK's Product Manager to download and install Syntronik 2, which will provide the native build automatically on Apple Silicon Macs.
