Update 2022/05/27: Due to even more popular demand, here are the 40 sound presets from the example patterns as well as the project file that we used for the review. It contains the following patterns (spread across different banks):

Oxygène (Minipops)
Idiotheque
XTAL
Copyshop
The Bells
Egypt Egypt
Don't Lose My Number
Captain Pikant Theme
Captain Pikant Fills

Update 2022/05/19: Due to popular demand, here are 32 more Syntakt presets! We didn't include the T69 Collapse presets yet because these need a lot more explaining to work right... so maybe we'll make a Drum Patterns Explained episode about it :)

Whenever there is a note value in the Bass Drum preset name (e.g. A#4 on the "Bells" Kick) you have to set this as the default track note pitch in the TRIG page - or else it won't sound like in the review. Sadly the default note pitch isn't saved with the sound preset. It actually makes a big difference whether you use SYN>TUNE or TRIG>NOTE to get the instrument to the desired pitch!

XTAL: Use the Closed Hat sound as the track sound of track 12, then load the Open Hat sound into the project's sound pool and sound lock it onto all steps that should have an Open Hat. Lock AMP>HOLD to 0 and AMP>DEC to 8 onto yellow lock trigs wherever you want the kick drum mutes to be.

Egypt, Egypt: To get Open Hats just parameter lock DECAY to 57 and RADIO to 97.

Here you'll find the drum pattern transcriptions:

2022/05/18: Here are the 8 Minipops-inspired sound presets used in the Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygène Part IV example pattern in our Syntakt review/tutorial. I tweaked the Conga sound a bit more and now I'm really happy with it (I used the digital BD MODERN engine instead of the PC CARBON engine).
