Good demo video. This shows the importance of new options like these for the library, and makes me excited for what the Synchron Player will be able to do with it.

Great explanation, let's try it now...

Neat, thanks for the good videos. Synchron sounds really nice.

Does the new cc33 Legato Blur functionality work on older libraries like Chamber Strings and such? I noticed the feature in the software update earlier today and came to see what it was all about. (Guess I can just try it out and see if anything happens too, but asking anyway.)

Hi, 

Glad to hear you like it!

Here's what is happening in the background: You are scaling the P.Release value you can set for each SLOT separately  (see atached screenshot). The underlying value is always manually adjusted in the mapping process. 

With Legato Blur, you have a contuinuous controller now that lets you scale this value and affect all loaded legatos in your VI / VIPro instance. 

Best,
Paul

I installed the latest version of VI PRO and VE PRO, but CC33 (Legato Blur) didn't appear in the preset. Of course I restarted the program. How could it be possible to be adjusted CC33 ? Does anyone who had this issue ?

Hi Paul,

Great demo, thank you for this.

It looks like we'll be able to cover an extremely wide range of strings expression playing with all these parameters, the usual ones and this new Blur feature. A wider range I never heard anywhere else. I have to say I own the Orchestral Cube for years, Appassionata, Dimension Strings I and Dim Brass, all extended ones but... I quite never use my VSL for strings, layering two other strings libraries that sounded more versatile to me.

I was intimately hoping I could go back to VSL strings with the Synchron (it has not been the case with the Dimension). And I feel like I surely will and am happy to ! I'm really impressed by the sound, pure and rich, together now with the wide expression capabilities.

About the matrices, I had first considered the f/s/m/l matrices on a RAM point of view only, thank you so much for having clarified about the huge velXfade definition feature, I get it now ! I noticed the steps in full matrix velXfade that required some annoying following editing to get a more fluid cresc/diminuendo. So, again, thanks for giving answers to some questions or worries I had about :)

I think the staff did a great job, keep on :)

Thank you Paul and entire VSL Team (that goes for all the people working on giving us this programming, materiel etc. that no one knows even exists).

I can hear a very nice difference!  Thank you for this improvement and the many more to come.

"...for non-Synchron libraries...."

I haven't loaded this yet, but Paul's jpg snapshot shows it working with a non-Synchron library, in this case the Chamber Violins. If I understand the feature correctly, it's enabing us to control performance release (P.Rel) per slot on a real-time basis. The initial setting is manual in the Advanced view, and the user-defined CC scales the manual setting while performing. 

Today's word: sedulous.

In a sentence : VSL programmers are sedulous in their drive to improve Vienna Instruments Pro.  

in my opinion, the best "legato" patch in SyStrings at current state of library is no legato patches, but "long notes soft" patch.. It more close to target legato sound, that I want to listen.. I am not see, that "legato blur" feature improves anything..
