It has a built in step sequencer, a built in sample and hold unit, and it can use sound from your DAW (vocals, synth, drums … any audio track).
I wanted to figure out how to use these features. Here are my findings:
Though my demo is in Logic Pro, many or all of these features can be integrated into other software.
Apparently, this has been around for a few months, but I am just finding out about it. Maybe I’m not alone in my obliviousness ?
For licensed users of Sylenth 1, there is a free 64 bit upgrade !! There is no longer a need for a solution like 32 Lives (a plugin that allows your 64 bit host to run 32 bit plugins).
I hit some snags trying to upgrade, so let me talk you through a successful path for upgrade.
To upgrade you can take one of two paths:
1. use the Sylenth/Menu/Look for Upgrades function.. That will give you a download and install that request a 16 digit serial code.
2. Alternatively you can just fill in the form at
https://www.lennardigital.com/support/requestlicense.php
The e-mail they send will contain both a product download link and license details.
FYI Sylenth has a Facebook Page that has a healthy conversation thread about this, as well as a good overview of this beta product.
In case you missed the crucial detail, you can request your license here: https://www.lennardigital.com/support/requestlicense.php
That URL will take you here ..
Once you enter your registered e-mail address …
A few minutes later I received my 16 digit code
Copy/paste your code into the box
Done!!
No need for this ever again!
I think the best place to look for FAQ information (Windows, AAX, etc) is in the Facebook discussion thread about this release.
New features:
And here’s another free resource. This is an update to an old favorite.
Now in 64 bit and available as an AAX …. everybody should go grab a copy of this!

And if you get it now, we’ll throw in some extra freebies!
Pro Tools (mac) and Logic Users. Looking for time savers?
Imagine selecting a single button on your iPhone or iPad (you can have multiple iOS devices connected at the same time!) and the computer automatically executes a series of mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts. Amazing!
Add plugins for ALL of your backing vocal tracks, or ALL your favorite drum plugins and settings with a single click.
From what I’ve seen Remote (iOS 7+) can help two types of people.
1. If you record yourself frequently and want to avoid taking off the headphones, walking back to the computer to perform tasks on the computer with mouse/keyboard. (See video 1)
2. If you are a mixing engineer and have established standard sequences of plugins, and signal flow that you use as a starting point for many mixes. (See video 2)
