When I try to load a sound in Sonik Synth 2 I get this message: "Instrument not found".
This means that you are trying to load a Combi/preset without having the Instruments assigned in Sonik Synth 2.
  • In your Hard drive, you need to have the sounds located in the Instruments folder.
  • In Sonik Synth 2, click Prefs over to the right, then Browse.
  • Now Choose the Instruments folder

In Sonik Synth 2, I am unable to get the Instrument folders to show in the browser, even though I am doing what the Manual says. What is wrong?
This occurs on some systems, if you are first selecting the SS2Instruments folder in the Prefs box and the sounds are not then showing in the Sonik Synth browser, then all you need to do is select a different folder (any other folder) and select it. Hit OK in the Prefs box. Now just go back to Prefs and select the correct SS2Instruments folder.
The sounds should now appear in the browser section of Sonik Synth 2.
