Hello Antony,

VE Pro 7 allows you to create as many instances as you wish theoretically. However, your hardware will limit how many instances you can run. In your email, you mentioned 300 (!) instances and approaching a "1 instance per instrument" setup.

Just an example: The minimum thread-per-instance setting that you can set is "1" thread. With 300 instances that means that you would need a CPU with 150 cores / 300 threads to make such a project work properly if all those instruments are playing back. Generally, we advise to work with fewer instances and make use of VE Pro's exceptional multi-thread processing capabilities in combination with multi-ports.

Unfortunately, indeed, Logic Pro X is light years behind when it comes to multi-ports. We offer experimental AU3 templates in the MyVSL download area - but AU3 is still beta, and Apple has not moved it forward much since then.

In conclusion: There is no upper limit (theoretically), but I am not surprised that your hardware can't run a template with 300 or 64+ instances in a stable manner. But since every situation is different (available hardware, settings, loaded libraries) one needs to do testing to find the optimal balance for his or her template.

Please be nice and respectful. All further communication is directed to the existing support case. And I think there is a simple misunderstanding between the concept of mixer outputs & midi channels. Thank you everyone for your contribution. This thread is closed now.

Best, Andreas

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your contribution - it's already perfectly answered. The Vienna Synchron Player is not multi-timbral and therefore not designed to access different instruments on different channels. You load each instrument or instrument group into their own instance of the Synchron Player (like Flute, Trumpet, 1st Violins, etc.).

And like Bill suggested - the best way to approach this is indeed the Vienna Ensemble software which allows you to do exactly what you want to do with access to 16 MIDI channels per port.

You can find detailed information for Routing in Digital Performer here.

Hello Cam,

I replied to your email case - but I'll post the answer here so that others can find it too:

> Is this Reverb tied in with the ‘IR’ reverb somehow? Is it an entirely different reverb? [This question relates to SYNCHRON-ized libraries]

1) The Reverb FX Plugin & the IR are two different reverbs, placed on top of each other. Feel free to bypass one or the other or both to hear the differences they make. I added a screenshot.

> What exactly is the ‘Algorytmic’ Reverb?

2) The "Algorithmic Reverb" is just an additional way to add artificial reverb to your output. It's deactivated by default on all instrument presets as they have their own "Room Reverb" FX plugin in a dedicated reverb channel we created.

> What is the best way to start with the pure, actual Synchron Stage settings that VSL has so carefully created?

3) By loading one of the ready-to-use presets and start playing. :-) All VSL instruments (SYNCHRON-ized & Synchron libraries) are already seated and balanced correctly to each other.

Best regards & don't forget to enjoy your Sunday! Best, Andreas

Hello Graham, hello Plowman!

Thank you for your kind words, guys! Always happy to get feedback of all sorts - but that kind is especially encouraging! Have a great end of the week and don't forget to enjoy your weekend too! 

Best,
Andreas

Hello everybody,

@VladKo: The problem is now fixed and you should see both update downloads correctly in your MyVSL account here: https://www.vsl.co.at/MyDownloads/SY_Library_Updates

@Pbest: The Updates only add very small changes while the V2 downloads exchange big sample files. Please download and apply the main downloads too. A quick tip: you do not need to download everything again - only the replaced files as explained in this quick tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fNbobzNrgQ

Best regards - Andreas

Hello Ragnarock,

Thank you for your detailed report. I can confirm very similar behaviour in Cubase and it would seem that the selection of a channel before saving the sequencer project does make a difference here. If I select a VST track in VE Pro first and then save the sequencer project, then everything works as intended.

But if one were to select a bus (in my case the master bus) then we see exactly the behaviour you are describing. Can you confirm this for ProTools on your side?

Kind regards - Andreas

Hello Knomes,

Our Synchron Pianos are all powered by the dedicated Synchron Pianos Player. Please find the latest installer in your MyVSL account here: https://www.vsl.co.at/My...oads/Software_Installers

Make sure to connect your samples with the sample player inside the 'Database' settings.

Best,

Andreas

Hi EMC,

The Synchron Pianos Player does support multiprocessing. Are you using an SSD, is it connected on a fast USB 3 / Thunderbolt port (if external) and is the SSD formatted especially for Mac? ExFAT, for example, gives very poor results.

I suggest you send an email with detailed hardware specifications to .

Kind regards, Andreas

I can confirm that the LightGuide is working when loading the plugin inside of Komplete Kontrol with all software up to date (Vienna Synchron Player v1780 & Komplete Kontrol v2.3.0).
