  • Synchron Player: Questions on (new) playability

    I noticed with the current Synchron Player that there is something really different with the playability of the legato patches. It's like the "legacy" playability we have in the VI Pro player that you can play shorter, even "faked" short notes. I missed this feature / behaviour and love that it finally has come back to the Synchron Player.

    Am I correct with this observation? I don't know if this has been integrated for a longer time, I only discovered it lately. In the previous versions it was definitely not there. Was it because of the new wet legato algorithms? I also think that the legatos have improved a bit, but I'm not sure if I'm just dreaming. :)

    I have heard these fake little legato glides in the Synchron Prime Edition demo, and it was a reason I have delayed getting that, looking at SE1 instead on the current sale, which at least has a nice piano patch included. Of course, you might like these fake little portamenti, but they sound fake to me, and aren't what a player would do.

    Would like to take this opportunity to complain about a little bug in Synchron Player if you don't mind:

    1. Open an EQ window for one channel

    2. Now click/double-click on a different channel's EQ thumbnail

    => The different EQ's settings are not loaded into the already-open EQ floating window. Instead you have to keep clicking until it closes and then re-opens the window. You check if there's already an EQ window open and then stop entirely, but you need to load the settings in as well.

    I'm not talking about the legato transitions, only the sustain part which can be played shorter now (like we can do in VI Pro).

    Concerning your issue: I don't think that it's a bug, you just expect a different behaviour. The opened window isn't "sticky" (in lack of a better term). Maybe you should write VSL and explain it to them.

    I refused the eLicenser mess as with everything Steinberg so I don't remember VIPro.

    What actually happens is you double click on a different EQ thumbnail and it closes the EQ window. You need to click four times to reload the EQ window with the EQ of a different channel. You can't open more than one EQ window (which is unfortunate because you can't compare EQs). The Synchron Player team is actually pretty good and I'm sure they will find this embarrassing once they learn about it. It's a bad note in the symphony.
