Hi Andrea,

The only difference is the amount of included articulations.

In Firefox for iOS (latest version, automatically updated from the App Store) not all the page fits, but more than in Safari, because the font shown by Firefox is very small. Since Firefox can't change the font size, the text is too small on an iPad mini.

Many thanks for the feedback. I see, i forgot a line of code in the forum's code, it should work now as expected.

Please note, that the main-page, including the forum, is still not optimized to be used with mobile devices.

Hi everyone!

Great to hear that you like the new design!
We worked on it for quite some time. We also tested it in combination with different devices and browsers.

To get the best experience for most users we had to cut support for older browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, as well as not up-to-date browsers.

Safari is quite troublesome, but the site should work correctly with the latest version of Safari - at least it did in our tests. If you can't update to the latest version of Safari, I recommend to use an alternative browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, ...).

There are super- and sub couplers, but no unison off, as far as I can see...

Swell pedal is controlled via CC11, but you can re-map it to another controller of course.

The unisono off button is visible as soon as you activate both, super and sub coupler.

As for another wish list item (and perhaps it's already got that but I'm not able to download it until this evening), super- and sub-octave couplers with unison on/off.

I'm looking forward to trying the tremulant - you can't really use the Vox Humana without it!

The Organ Player has a crescendo pedal feature with up to 12 steps - the lower combination banks make use of it (default mapping: CC1 / Mod-Wheel). Simply right-click a combination bank and select "Switch to CC" to enable convert the selected bank to crescendo mode.

Octave couplers (with unison off) are also present. Simply click on the -1 / +1 buttons on the right of the combination bank above the keyboard. (https://www.vsl.info/manuals/organ-player/gui-overview -> no 15 in the screenshot).

Hi Frank,

You can keep using the 32-bit plugins when using the 32-bit VEP server (it's the one without 64-bit in the name). You can use both, 32-bit and 64-bit VEP servers side-by-side (we highly recommend to use the 64-bit version whenever possible as 32-bit is limited to 4GB RAM usage and will crash when exceeding this limit).
Keep in mind that Apple no longer supports 32-bit applications, and therefore we only support this feature on Windows.

Hi!

As long as the path is added to the Synchron Player's configuration everything should work just fine.
If you moved the folder after installation you have to manually re-assign the location : https://www.vsl.info/tutorials/faqs/libraries#sample-management-sy

Hi Steve,

Here a link to an article + video: https://www.vsl.info/tutorials/faqs/libraries#sample-management-sy

If this didnt solve your issues, the sample data might be corrupted and need re-downloading and installing.

Best, Ben

Default is: 4 loading and 4 streaming threads.

Depending on SSD speed the preload size is between 3000-8000. For the Synchron Pianos I highly recommend to to set it to at least 4000-8000.

The audio interface' sample buffer size is too low. You should set it to at least 64.

Hi Max,

Glad to hear! Enjoy these pianos!

Best, Ben

Sorry, I have no idea what "BigBang2.5" is...

Our samples are also not installed via pkg files. You might talk about the "Vienna Download Manager". This is a simple download manager, so you can install it on the main drive - it will ask you for the download location as soon as you download a library.

Hi!

Our players measure the 64k random read speeds, as these are much more similar to the actual sample streaming process.
I also recommend not to change the streaming thread count (this is not a multi-processing setting).

I use the Ryzen 5950X with all our products without any issues - so it might depend on some of your settings.
Could you please provide following information:

- What audio interface are you using and with what buffer size?
- What Memory/RAM speed is displayed in the TaskManager (under "More Details" -> Memory -> right column)?
- Are you using the default Windows power-saving options?

Best, Ben

Hi there!

Are you talking about the Synchron Player or the libraries?
The Player will always install on the system drive as it is required - but it takes only 100-200 MB.

The libraries on the other hand can be installed everywhere - you will get a prompt during the installation wizard.

Best, Ben

While having similar, only slightly higher, clock speeds, the IPC (instructions per clock) since then has gone up big time (approx. doubling performance). Also, there were quite some architecture improvements which will further increase performance running modern software on modern hardware.
Dual CPU setups also introduce additional system latency, which also can hurt performance.

If all other libraries just run fine, and you can't even run one mic position without drop-outs, I'm afraid there is nothing I can recommend other then upgrading your system or adding a networked machine (via VEP).
If however you are able to run one mic position just fine, you might get away with loading one mic per separat player instance, spreading the laod to different cores (note: muting does not disable the channel; you have to click on the channel name to disable processing).

Hi Max,

I guess the 10 years old CPU, especially since it's a dual CPU setup (which is further hurting performance), is the main reason.
Disabling one of the CPUs might increase performance, but I'm not sure if this will be enough to enjoy the Synchron Pianos.

Hi!

VEP does not share licenses over network.

Best, Ben

Hi Paolo,

Sorry to say, but this wouldn't work either - it would have the exact same effect as using Expression to fade out.

Best, Ben

Well, depending on the piano and mic-count you would have to load 25-250GB into RAM, and with an HDD it will take quite some time...
Therefore we load only a small portion of the samples into RAM, and the rest will be streamed from disk.

Changing the Preload time will help with drop-outs, but it will further increase loading times.

Hi!

I'm pretty sure your HDD can't catch up with streaming the samples.

We highly recommend to install the Synchron Pianos on SSDs - this will also decrease loading times (less then 10 second on my system after a fresh reboot).

Btw, you can move the samples from the HDD to an SSD, so a re-download is not necassary.

Best, Ben

Hi Mark,

Each machine that runs VEP instances needs a valid license. If you run instances only on a separat system you won't need an additional license, but if you want to use VEP instances on both machines you have to order an additional license.

Addiitional liceneses are currently on sale as well (€ 65, regular € 95). You can order these directly on the product page.

Best, Ben

Hi!

Yes, this is correct. In some DAWs, like Cubase, you can manually enable/disable outputs, so these will not cause any load regardles of the setting in VEP. This way you can enable only the outputs you really need for each instance.

Best, Ben

Hi!

You need to install the Vienna Download Manager and open the vsldownload file with it.

Best, Ben

Hi John!

If I got this right, you would like to run the libraries on a different system at the same time.
For this you would need additional licenses of these libraries. You can get in touch with to get a quote on additional licenses.

But before you get additional licenes, why not run the instances on the same machine as well? As long as you have enough RAM you can simply have all the instances from both projects loaded at the same time.

Best, Ben
