  • Samples don't play to full duration on load until after playing each note several times

    Hello,

    I had posted last week but I didn't get a response I think because of the holidays. So I will paste here:

    I bought Synchron as a sketch instrument to improvise against picture when I needed to, but after I load the orchestra, even without basses, i notice that the sounds will be very choppy and short, lengthening to full duration only after I strike the note several times. It's like this on the entire range of the keyboard. And when I change to parameters to let's say brass, I have to go through the same thing. Is this just an instrument quirk that happens with all users? It doesn't happen with any other VI that I have, and certainly not on any other Vienna libraries. 

    I'm running Synchron on a MacBook Pro 2017 2.9 GHz Intel core with 16 GB of Ram 2133 MHz. My DAW is Motu Digital Performer 10.13

    Thank you,

    Mark


  • Hi Mark, 

    Sounds like streaming troubles. 

    Could it be that with "Synchron" you mean the Vienna Smart Orchestra you purchased recently?

  • Hi Paul,

    To be honest, I don't remember purchasing Smart Orchestra Lol. I have a lot of libraries so forgive the confusion. I thought Smart Orchestra came with Synchron, at least that is what's in Synchron when I load a patch. The reason I purchased Synchron was primarily for a sketch plug-in. Something to improvise with against picture of whatever. I have VEP and Pro Edition etc. So is there a fix? I don't seem to have this with other plugins, not even Vienna Instruments/Ensemble.

    Thank you


  • Hi, 

    Ah, you mean the Synchron PLAYER, now I get it!

    Yes, that's the Smart Orchestra you are playing there. 

    I assume this happens when you play a lot of voices at the same time... Did you try to increase the Voice Limit in the Perform Tab (see screenshot)?

    If that doesn't help: You are streaming from SSD, correct?

    Best,

  • No it's not ssd. It's an external Glyph 7200rpm drive. What happens is when I switch to a brass orchestra after being on strings, the brass's sounds are choppy until I hit the notes a few times. So is the drive the issue? And yes my Voice Limit is at 256. And I have 16GB of Ram on my Mac


  • Hi, 

    You are streaming a lot of voices there. 

    Here are a few ideas: 

    1) Increase the voice limit
    2) Increase your buffer size
    3) In Synchron Player Preferences => Database: Increase the PRELOAD time manually

    Best,
