Now that VSL is entering this new era of sampling with the ambience of the hall (not on the quiet stage, but on the Synchron Stage) what are we to do with our Vienna MIR Pro setups and investments into the various Roompacks? For the moment we could match the rest of our traditional VI's (using MIR Roompack 6) with the Synchron Series instruments (Synchron Percussion I and Synchron Strings I so far), but what are we to expect next? Wouldn't this new approach eventually render MIR Pro and MIRx obsolete? The "dry" samples is what makes VSL so flexible compared to other sample library manufacturers whose recordings are always affixed to one venue only. I have to admit that the new Synchron Stage sounds beautiful, the instruments render so well there. I just would love to know if Vienna Symphonic Library would eventually completely change to "non-dry" recordings, thus leaving the MIR technology in the dark.

Welcome ZWaves,
thanks for your friendly words and your interest in MIR Pro.
I think it's save to say that MIR Pro won't become obsolete any time soon. It is an integral part of the whole Vienna Instruments-universe and will build the bridge between them and the new Synchron-series.
Apart from that, there are _so_ many things that can be done by means of MIR technology with signal sources other than Vienna Instruments that you can regard it as a tool of its own right. ... and if you think of it, even more aspects which MIR would be perfectly able to cover (like 3D audio rendering and the like) have still remained untouched, ... ;-) ... interesting times ahead.
Kind regards,

Would it be possible to know, more or less, when the Synchron Mir X will be available? Thanks!

Hi Nicola,
The sad truth is that I had almost finished the first version*) of SSV MIRx in March already when I realized that a bug had crept in during the most recent changes of my in-house development version of MIR Pro which rendered about 75 percent of my work useless ... ... I will have to redo most of it as soon as my schedule allows.
.... if you want to get a rough idea how these settings will sound once they're available you can listen to the latest demos of Jay Bacal, who already used some of RoomEQs I created (but not the positions and Character EQs a.k.a. "Pre EQ" in MIRx).
*) I still plan to do a second version of the "MIRxed" SSV which tries to mimic the settings of Synchron series instruments, but this will take even longer then estimated now.
Thanks for your patience!

That's too bad, I know what means to start from the beginning an almost finished work... All the best, Nicola

"there are _so_ many things that can be done by means of MIR technology with signal sources other than Vienna Instruments that you can regard it as a tool of its own right..." Dietz
That's how I look at MIR and I would never in a million years want to simply dump it and go with Synchron alone because Synchron - though it sounds great - is only one sound. Realistic sound of an orchestra on one stage instantly. That is what people want. But MIR is an infinity of sounds potentially in any place in the world. Already the Mystic Spaces which are totally different from Synchron are essential to all the work I'm doing. Also MIR is a creative tool like what I remember Dietz saying - like another instrument in itself - that one can work with in any number of ways from subtle to radical.
