The included soundset of Sonik Synth 2 and SampleTank 2 XL are completely different and while both offer diverse compositional power right of the box, the two products are designed to compliment each other for building the ultimate SampleTank sound system. <\/p>\n<p>Owners of SampleTank 2 L and XL can read Sonik Synth 2 sounds and combine them with the sounds of their other SampleTank 2 sound libraries and any other imported samples. Sonik Synth 2 owners do not need to own a separate SampleTank product to use it as a plug-in, but can take advantage of the additional features like sample import as well as additional sounds if they were to cross-grade to SampleTank 2 XL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34683],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the What is the Difference in Sonik Synth 2 and SampleTank 2XL?
