I was rather hoping we might know a little more by now. 

What worries me is the they mght suddenly turn round and say the library is released tomorrow, so you have until then to pre order it, whilst we have little or no more detail on it.

Of course it may well be that the library is being released later on November and whole raft of info ready to be  - but I do hope we will have a reasonable amount of time and a reasonable amount of information upon which to make a decision.

He is absolutely right, I agree with mantrum!

You forgot completlty the new Synchron-Player, I expect its feautures and completly new approach to program orchestrasamplelibraries will be enough for the next 14 Days. And I have the impression that we all know that this is something new comming that raises a good part of unanswered questions.

So here is my marketing suggestion: Just announce there is something overwhelming comming, avoid any further information, because since the Librarie is on the market no one will seriously read it and of course no one will ever be satisfied just with "information"

So until the librariy is available. simply play nonstop Charles Ives unanswered question 

Hi LAJ here comes 401 (404 will be an error alert )

To control acoustic with the mix of several available microphonepositions is not that "new" in the market, it seems to me more or less standard for the most available samplelibraries (normaly with 3-5 different positions while non of them offer such a variety as Synchronseries does).

The historic Winds seem to have been the last in the silent stage recorded Libraries. I do not expect that there will be so much more new silentstage-libraries on the way. It is much more probable, that they are now continuing the synchronstage-way for the whole range of their products in the next years. And this is for many reasons very promising (how ever convincing and powerful the Siletstage/MIR combination was)

If I understood right, the "new approach" to program orchestrrasamples will make it more efficient to handle with the incredible amount of different patches VSL provides. In combination with the large amount of Microphonepositions there is a strong need to streamline the controle of the samplelibraries. If you have seen the VE-Presets for the Syncchron-Percussion you can imagine what a supercomplex setup it will be to use a whole Synchronorchestra with the former VI. Combine that with the large variety of different patches a VSL-Library usually provides for all Orchestral instruments you will have very much to organize and controle.

I am pretty sure the new Synchron-Player must be part of the solution how to streamline the incredible power such a Library brings. Yes I do have tons of Questions and we have already just some exciting indications what we could expect

"with a minimal need to switch articulations, and by moving just one or two preconfigured controllers." This at least sounds to me as if they might have listened hopefully at least a little bit to what I have already  suggested some years ago

It seems to be pretty clear, that the velocity X_fade will be improved and with 8 Layers might bring more realstic dynamic changes in each momemt of a certain note.

But however even if we are with all those indications already better infomed than about nearly every other Library available, there are of course for me still so much questions, which will be fully answered not before the Library is downloaded, installed and I have had enough time to explored it in one or another project.

Hi Paul,

Best Wishes to the VSL development team, I'm sure the new Synchron Libraries will be an amazing success, and Thanks for updating us on Synchron Strings I status. 

 I  Pre-Purchased  Synchron Strings I (Full Version),  I was wondering if it would it be possible to have an option to download the (Standard) version if that was needed to conserve drive space on a computer ? or am I restricted to only have access to the (Full version) ?  Basically, does the License for the Full verison give me the option to download the (Standard) version if the need arises. 

Thanks, 

Muziksculp 

Hi Paul

Here some more attempts to produce "unanswered questions" ( 404 Alerts)

Are you (VSL) already working on Synchron Strings II ?

Are you (VSL) already working on Synchron Brass and Synchron Woodwinfs ?

Will there be any Synchron Voices "once upon a time" ?

Will there be Synchon Solostrings ?

Will there be any more Silent-Stage-Libraries to come ?

any answer? ... perhaps just to surprise me

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the feedback.  

So just to confirm that I understand your reply, this means I have the option to download the Starndard version, even though I purchased the Full version.  

That's very good.

Cheeers,

Excellent

Thanks.

less????

What we get is much more but most of it "under the hood" (massive more velocity Layer, + Variants.)

Oh there are competitors who solved that "problem" with the concept of "First Chair" Strings for instance. With that concept the Solistic Piano will presumably be located in right in the middle in front of the Orchestra like the Pianosoloist in a pianoconcerto. (However I do not think that compared to complete the sections of a Synchron-Orchestra a Synchron-Piano would have any priority in the VSL-Pipeline)

OK, but even the Synchron Percussion is like the Synchron Strings just a Synchron Percussion I

To provide the same material so much deeper sampled is unevitably much work to do, give them "a little" time to complete, what actually just started.
