This means that the loud velocity layers stay as they are and the soft dynamic layers get louder.Best regards,Andi
I'm fully aware of how the Dynamic Range slider works as I have relied on it for years now. It's certainly behaving differently in Synchron Player than it did in Vienna Instruments Pro.
I did a real Quick test in both players and give approximated averages of the db meter readings in each player. Synchron player I just read the left side. Again real quick just to illistrate my point.
Here are my findings:
In VI pro using Appassionatta All strings Sus pressing the C4 note
Dynamic range :0 Vel Xfade:0 = -9. , Vel Xfade:63= -9 , Vel Xfade:127 = -9
Dynamic range :63. Vel Xfade :0 =-33. VelXfade : 63 = -19 VelXfade :127 = -9
Dynamic Range:127 VelXfade:0 =inf VelXfade: 63= -21 VelXfade 127 = -9
This is working as expected. A dynamic range value of 0 , all sample are playing at the same dynamic volume. At a dynamic range of 127, the Softest volume is actually silence and the Loudest volume is the loudest.
In Synchron Player using Appassionatta strings Synchronized pressing the C4 note
Dynamic Range :0. VelXfade:0 =-21 VelXfade: 63 = -14 VelXfade: 127 = -10
dynamic range. : 63 VelXfade:0 = -21 VelXfade: 63 =-14 VelXfade: 127 = -10
dynamic range. : 127 VelXfade:0 = -28 VelXfade:63 = -14 VelXfade: 127 = -10
These numbers indicate that something is wrong with the Dynamic Range Scaler in Synchron player.
In Vi pro using Synchron Srtings In VI version using STR MAIN LONG-Lyc pressing C4
Dynamic range:0 VelXfade:0 = -25 VelXfade: 63 = -17 VelXfade: 127 = -12
Dynamic Range: 63 VelXfade:0 = -32 VelXfade: 63 = -20 VelXfade: 127 = -12
Dynamic Range: 127 VelXfade:0 = -inf VelXfade: 63 = -34 VelXfade: 127 = -12
Synchron strings in VI are a lil off at Dynamic range of '0' in that the velocities dbs aren't the same. However at a dynamic range of 127 the VelXfade level of '0' does go to silence as expected.
In Synchron player using Synchron strings STR MAIN LONG-lyric pressing C4
Dynamic Range:0 VelXfade:0 = -29 VelXfade: 63 = -18 VelXfade 127 =-17
Dynamic Range : 63 VelXfade = -29 VelXfade: 63 = -19 VelXfade 127 = -18
Dynamic range :127 VelXfade 0 = -39 VelXfade 063 = -28 VelXfade 127 = -20
Doesn't appear to be working correctly. Very little difference between Dynamic Range 0 or 63. Dynamic Range of 127 doesn't go to silence at VelXfade 0. Also in Dynamic Range of 127 the loudest note is 3 db softer than in dynamic range of 0. So even thiugh it's softest level is 10 dbs softer than the softest level of Dynamic Range of 0, the loudest is 3 db softer thereby only adding 7 dbs of Dynamic range.
Based on my findings looking at how VI instruments pro is handling Dynamic Range vs how Synchron Player is handling it, they are very different. I much prefer VI's ability to drop to complete silence when set to 127. I also prefer how it defaults to 63 being where it was recorded at.
Hope this helps you see where I'm coming from.
