If not ran in administrator mode, Ableton displays an error saying that it is not a supported VST. This software works well in FL Studio with no hiccups, however I have to run Ableton Live in administrator mode to get it to work similar to as I have to do with sampletank. It works nicely in both of the DAW's that I use, Ableton and FL Studio. It is nicely organised into instrument types and then the actual instruments. The library of sounds is shown on the GUI nicely, in the same way as Sampletank. Maybe this is because it uses the same engine. On the low end PC it does suffer some delay and latency in the sound, similar to Sampletank. I have used it on a low end computer (1.8GHZ pentium and 1gb ram) as well as my current (2.5GHZ Core2Quad & 4GB ram) and it runs decently on both. This VST installed nicely and quickly and has worked nicely on both of my computers. I have used the first Sonik Synth, and Sonik Synth 2 blows it out of the water! They have constructed Sonik Synth 2 to be as user friendly as possible. Because when you have 5 thousands plus sounds it is easy to lose sounds or have a hard time finding one that you want. Where you can basically just type in what type of sound or instrument you are looking for and it will bring them up. There is also a built in “search” engine. The quality of the sounds are very good, they can be used for almost any style of music you can think of. A great part of using Sonik Synth 2 is with the ability to “Stack” sounds, basically just layer sounds and add some effects to them and you can really get some cool unique stuff that you can almost grantee that other musicians wont have the same sounds as you. Sonik Synth 2 seems to be like a do it all software, but it gets over looked in other departments besides the sounds. The Sonik Synth 2 can be used as the main part of your whole setup, it doesn’t just have to be used as a sound module or VST. It can run on either Mac or Windows systems and the price of it is very affordable as well. The possibilities are endless with this software. I have not had many VST’s at all that come with that many sounds, and also the sounds are so easy to edit and change to make them your own. The program is far more in depth than what I thought it was going to be back when I purchased it. Sonik Synth 2 is a pretty good workstation with a lot of different tools for using and designing your own sounds.
