Hi Ravez,

Yes, exactly! This feature does prevent the cells from being active, and therefore no samples are being loaded into the RAM until one double click the cells to enable them.

Hi Paolo,

I would not disable them at all. Like with real recordings, where one would most likely add multiple layers of reverb during the entire process until the finished mix, that same concept applies to your samples. But, again, I would leave them enabled inside the Synchron Player as these have been fine-tuned for each single Mixer Preset you can load. Regardless, how much additional mixing and mastering is done on top of that has to be determined by the composer/mixing engineer on a case-to-case basis. But feel free to experiment.

Best regards,
Andreas

Timbre Adjust can be used with all your libraries as an additional level of control. Feel free to add the corresponding fader via the "+" icon under "PERFORM" or "CONTROL" - but make sure the Vienna Synchron Player is up to date!

Hello Michael,

It's not possible to connect to instances from multiple projects - by design.

Hello everyone!

We looked into this issue now and unfortunately, we found a few shortcomings and bugs in how Studio One handles CC vs Parameters in Studio One. We are in contact with the developers, but it's possible that we might at least implement a fix about the "n+1" issue for upcoming VST3 plugin updates throughout or software.

All assignable (changeable) parameters can be selected directly (see screenshot attached). For your pedal information, you will have to work with the "Ctrl X-X"+1 parameters, for now.

Best Regards,
Andreas Rautner

Thank you, Angelus! I passed your finding on to our developer team! :-)

Best,
Andreas

Hi Angelus,

The installer works here as intended if I rerun it on my Win 10 computer. I can go back and forth between all steps, and I can choose the plugin formats. Possibly this is caused by using an outdated Windows version (Win 7). Since Microsoft dropped all Windows 7 support 1 1/2 years ago, we can not develop or test software for Windows 7 at this point anymore - leave alone optimize it. Please contact us via email at . Thank you!

Best regards,
Andreas

Hello Angelus,

Thank you for your follow-up! I can confirm the same behavior on my Windows 10 machine - I will forward this info to our developer team.

EDIT: This seems to only happen with the VST3 plugin. Please try the VST2 plugin and let us know if panning works as intended, there.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hello CB3,

If you do not want to write actual key switch notes into your score (not recommended due to conflict potential), I suggest you extend the existing expression map with what you need and trigger that via a custom articulation. Velocity X-Fade is tied to a CC value inside the SY Player. To write custom Vel FX data, go into the PLAY view. You find more information in our optimization section of the VSL for Dorico guide:

https://www.vsl.info/en/tutorials/guides/dorico-integration/quickguide#optimization

Best regards,
Andreas

And as a quick follow-up: To me, it sounds like you are not using an ASIO driver but the Windows Audio or DirectSound version. I added a screenshot for you. If that does not solve the issue, please proceed via the existing support ticket.

Best regards,
Andreas Rautner

Dear Eugene,

I replied to your existing case with a detailed and long email for further troubleshooting - a bit more than a week ago. Unfortunately, you never followed up on that either. This was in email ticket #345088. If the problems persist, please be so kind as to reply to the existing case or open a new ticket with an email to (+ mentioning the existing ticked number to pick up things from the most recent point).

Best regards,
Andreas Rautner

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for the screenshot. When you hover over the "Matrix CC" field inside the VI Player you will find a tool tip popping up explaining what this feature does:

Control Change number reserved for Matrix switching

That does not mean that the pedal signal is disabled. It just means that your CC 64 is triggering a different feature.

Since the Matrix concept from the VI Player was replaced with the Dimension Trees inside Vienna Synchron Player, you won't find such a "Matrix CC" option there, sorry.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Plowman,

You can find the Vienna Synchron Player preference files here:

macOS:
User library >Preferences\at.co.vsl.Vienna Synchron Player.plist

Windows: 
%appdata% > VSL\Vienna Synchron player.ini

Best regards,
Andreas

Hello Yannick82,

You can run a detailed disk speed check with CrystalDiskMark / AmorphousDiskMark - and also, please turn off any antivirus software. Some antivirus software may be trying to scan everything read by the Vienna Synchron Player. And in that case, that 3rd party AV would be the most likely culprit here.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hello Clayking,

You might find this written guide helpful:

It's for VE Pro - but the same, general principles apply.

PS: You might want to edit your first post to remove the unnecessary space after your message. 

Hello workstation15,

Steve was already so kind as to answer the bulk of this question. In short: On Windows, the user makes the decision where a VST2 plugin is installed. I would check the folders here:

C:\Program Files

Possibly "VSTplugins" or an "EastWest" or "Steinberg" subfolder. But you could always rerun the EastWest Play installer and pay extra attention to the folder choice during the installtion, this time.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hello Benenemy,

Judging from your screenshots, I would say you are not using a Gigabit Ethernet network. Please make sure that your Wi-Fi is disabled (to avoid going over Wi-Fi by accident) and that you are using fast CAT6+ ethernet cables.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Paolo,

Great effort programming this for Dorico! As the voicing and the harmonics of this incredibly Morricone composition are the heart and soul of this piece, I would try to address the dynamics & the team in much more detail. Utilizing Dorico's dynamic & tempo markers is a good start, but going into a lot more fine-tuning is what would bring this rendition to life - you know ... to let the music breath and flow naturally. 

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi,

I also answer your email about this - but I wanted to post the answer here as well. I hope this helps!

My best guess is that your friend has a CPU with faster single-core performance than your CPU, which is expected with a CPU with fewer cores (which run on higher base clock speed). You could either deactivate some mic positions or use a larger buffer size for your ASIO driver. Voice processing is always a single-core task.

Another very effective workaround would be to load the Synchron Pianos Player multiple times with the same piano preset. And then, you split/load the individual mic positions on individual player instances. That way, your CPU can play to its strength (multiple cores). We are working on an option to make the Synchron Pianos player utilizing all available cores when it comes to voice processing (like a switch the user can choose to activate or deactivate). But that's a very tricky thing to do. Please give that workaround a try and let me know how that improves performance on your system.

Best Regards,
Andreas

Hello Yannick82,

Is it possible that your external SSD is formated with an exFAT file system? That would slow down performance tremendously.

Hi Thomas,

Could you please let me know which option exactly you are referring to inside the VI Player with "In the old VI library I can disable the sustain pedals on cc64" - just so that we are on the same page here.

Best regards,
Andreas

We have received your email, thank you!

Hello Holger,

The Symphonic Cube does come with "Sul Tasto" samples for the Solo Strings and "Ponticello" samples for both the Solo Strings & Orchestral Strings. You could use "Flautando" samples instead of "Sul Tasto" for a similar sound.

You can find a detailed overview here:
https://www.vsl.co.at/en/VI_Series/Symphonic_Cube#!Sample_Content

Those samples are accessible via matrices, too, yes.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hello, Hakan,

I'll reply to your email in a moment. In situations like this, it's always best to

1) Check if all your VSL software AND 3rd party Plugins are up to date.

2) Send us the crash report via email at

Thank you!
