Team Machines is a free Sound Pack of sublime Syntakt sounds put together by Elektron staff from across the globe.
Plump with a multitude of magical melodic options, there is also a generous sprinkling of some percussive gold snuck in for good measure. The sounds were put together from a variety of Syntakt’s machines, with the most recent additions Sy Swarm and Sy Raw featuring prominently. So, plenty of digital synthesis and a bunch of analog too.
Thanks to all who contributed to this, and to Elektron for making it free. Makes a lot of sense to have some “factory” sounds off the two new machines given how massive they are
If i like this sound pack, i will buy all of the sound packs, even the ones i can’t use on my machines. That’s how this works, you get a little freebie, then you’re hooked, right?
Maybe, yeah… I think there’s only a couple of Syntakt packs available so far though, so you’re safe… when you get into the Analog machines and Digitone, buying packs is a slippery slope, especially because they are usually good.
It’s worth getting packs just to deconstruct sounds and learn more about your machine IMO.
Anyway, enjoy the freebie!
I installed the sounds to sound bank F and wanted to listen to them. The manual says the following:
The SOUND MANAGER is used to manage sounds, for example import, export, rename, and tag sounds. Opening this menu will show a list of all sounds found in the +Drive sound library. Turn the LEVEL/DATA knob or press [UP]/[DOWN] to scroll through the list. Press [TRIG 9–16] to select sound bank A–H.
The bold part, how to select a sound bank, dosn’t work on my ST. If I want to access the newly loaded sounds I have to scroll through all the other banks A-E first, which is quite annoying. Am I doing something wrong or might this be a bug?
Just attempted to load this soundpack onto my Syntakt and for some reason the first two sounds, SMUTS and UPPUPP aren’t displaying in the Sound Browser. The user bank I selected starts at 003: FLADDER.
Weirdly, the missing sounds are displaying properly in Transfer. I rebooted the device, cleared all sounds and transferred them again. Same issue.
