Combinations of Decca Tree Wide to Stereo and Surround Distant to Stereo work quite well together to achieve an effect of depth between different instruments.

Messing with my template a bit that is currently using Synchron Strings Pro and Synchron Brass.

If you want to go for the most realistic sound, does it make sense to mix mic presets between those sections (or even individual instruments)? 

With that I mean for example: that the brass section is further away than the strings. So would it make sense to put the strings on Classic Sur to Stereo, and the brass on Distant Sur to stereo (I mostly use the Sur to Stereo presets - but feel free comment on others).

Any favorite combinations? Or stuff that just works well? Can I safely assume mixing differnet presets will not cause phasing?

Transition from any sequencer is really easy, so give those demo versions a try! 

A few rules that helped me at the start: 

1) Drag and drop whatever you see. 
2) Right-clicking elements show you ALL available options. 

Here's a list of a few overview videos to start with.

Hi Paul!

As an SO 5.2 and VSL Synchron Strings Pro user I could not be happier! This really enhances my workflow tremendously. Are you planning to make any more of these demo projects? Those are really great ways to get to know all the articulations in the SSP library.

Thanks again (and to Presonus as well!) for such a great feature!

As I mentioned above, I do record the instrument. There is just nothing coming in.

Nevertheless, I solved this by just creating a massive 1-dimentional articulation list, and mapped that to the key switches in Studio One. So far works pretty good!

Having a vertically positioned monitor helps as well

Thanks for your reply Paul. I tried that while recording with the selected track so I would have the midi notes for all slots immediately inside.

But so far I do not see any data coming in when pressing midi dump. Or is it sent somewhere else other than the track's midi channel?

No one uses key switches? 

Hi folks,

I have been using Synchron Strings Pro for a while now, and while a love the sound (especially now that I upgraded to the full library - yay :) ) there is one thing that keeps bugging me quite a bit: key switches using the dimension tree.

So first let me say I am using Studio One. This is the DAW I know, and while I hear great things about Cubase's MIDI features I am not looking (hopefully) to switch DAWs. Compared to Cubase, Studio One's key switching is still a bit in the stone ages.. but for most stuff it works.

However, what it can't do is map the dimension tree of the Synchron Player, as there is just no way to store key switches hierarchically. This lead me to a long journey of trying to find some cross DAW "articulation manager" and while I found several, they all seem to support Cubase or Logic only.

Of course I could just enter the MIDI note data manually but this is really cumbersome, and creates other discomforts (not being in the correct KS when skipping back and forth, issues with transposing notes, etc).

The only solution I see at this time is to completely customize the key switches in the player for each instrument. Which is quite some work + the long list of KS slots are going to be 2 pixels high in the Synchron Player when I am done.. (i.e. only using one dimension and not the hierarchical tree structure as per default).

Could you please explain to me how you are dealing with this in your environment?

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I've seen that property but for some reason thought it was something else.

Hi all,

Just got myself a copy of Synchron Strings Pro, and I am trying to figure out how I can change the behavior of the Spiccato. I would like them to react to the velocity of the note played on the keyboard as opposed to the modwheel which is the default setting.

Where can I change this?
