    The third Steinway Synbchron Exploration focus Ludwig van Beethoven the most popular student aswell of Georg Albrechtsberger as of Joseph Haydn and at the same time a well known teacher not only of musicians like Ferdinand Ries or Carl Czerny.
    To keep the ears open and unprejudiced by many previously heard interpretations of the same music I chose again two still ambitious, but lesser known compositions (hard enough for someone like Beethoven)

    The Rondo Bb Major Kinsky-Halm Nr. 6

    ....belongs to the earlier pianomusic while it shares the vivid pianistic energy of many better known earlier Beethoven Pianosonatas.

    The Fantasy op.77

    ....seemed to have been stil a bit more popular in the late 19th and early 20th century as it is today combining powerful pianistic eruptions with the deep silence of some of the deepest adagios we know from Beethovens Pianomusic.

    If you would ask me, are Pianosamples in general ready to play seriously Beethoven, I would have strong doubts for the most available Samplesets,

    If you would ask me only for the Synchron Steinway, than: yes this could perhaps be a Pianosampleset that might do the Job.

    (See the settings for this and all previous Synchron-Steionway.Exploration-Recordings in the Preset attached below.)

    Rondo Bb Major Kinsky-Halm Nr. 6

  • Fahl5 thanks a lot for the explorations, they are beautifully played and showing how beautiful instrument VSL Steinway-D is.

    Also, thanks a lot for sharing your preset. If possible, can you let us know what is your system specifications? Can you tell us how much RAM is being used when you run this preset?

    Thank you very much for listening and for your friendly response.

    I run the VSL-Steinway on my 6 Year old DAW-System (i73930K 64GB RAM System and all Samples running on SSD's and ) but even for the full version, you will need only a fration of that RAM if you run your Library on a good SSD,

    The Synchron-Piano-Player mentions 2,24 GB for my preset.

    Hi Fahl5, thanks again for such a rapid response, very helpful. I am observing significant amount of glitches during streaming when I activate high number of mics and trying to understand what is bottlenecking my system. My system specs are i7 4790K, 16GB of ram and Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD (connected via SATA 6.0Gb/s). I understand you are using 3172 samples settings in Synchron engine.

    My Asio buffer size is 256 samples and in Synchron engine streaming threads and loading threads are set to 16.


  • Hi huseyinmustu,

    To be clear the Preset is meant for rendering the project. (while it even works life quite well in my System.) 

    I dont know your system enough for any technical help, but if you experience performance problems while life playing you might perhaps consider using less microphone positions or even only the Room mix for playing and using the full preset for a refined mix and rendering of the recording.

    I hope I was able to answer your question.
